Looked into this today and was pretty shocked to see how well we have done historically in comparison to the league as a whole. So, while this is definitively the worst stretch in franchise history, it could be a lot worse. The negative is, it could also get a lot worse. 

Either way, it was interesting to see some of these INSANE stretches of futility.

So we are not as historically bad as it may feel?

We are at our franchise low but in comparison to the rest of the NFL's franchise lows......I mean....it is wild how low it can get. Eleven teams have had at least a decade long .500 or less stretch. That's over a third of the league.

Helps that we have only been around since 1995. At the rate we are going, we are well on our way to catching up to NO....

The most surprising thing is that Minni somehow has been the best at being .500 or better

Well, Jacksonville already has had a 9 year stretch. Houston has had a 7 and existed even less.

Minnesota was completely shocking.

Yeah, but that 24 percent winning season reality still stings. We can look at all the loser stats we like.

No doubt. I honestly started this thinking we would be in the bottom half of the NFL in this but was very surprised to see how high up this list we actually were.

I think the thing is that our stretches of futility have been relatively short until now. But, we also rarely have ever had any appreciable stretches of winning. 

Still have never had back to back winning seasons(no one in the NFL can say that).

It's kind of a flawed comparison though as we are such a relatively young franchise and many of those streaks were pre-cap era where smaller markets had even less of a chance of contending than they do now.

Quite a few of those 10+ year stretches were post 1995.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
