Be the Bengals of the 90's and then come talk to me.

You found one game in a season where they had 7 sellouts. The first non sellout in 19 seasons. That is the first non sell out in 150 games. Meanwhile this one game that you say has awful attendance the bengals averaged around 50k for a few straight seasons.
The bengals were in the playoffs the majority of the 2000s - 2010s. That is no different than the chiefs who had a 30 year playoff win drought until Alex smith finally beat Houston. That didn’t stop us from selling out arrowhead. But you know what we also did? We sold out stadiums in our off years too.
And buffalo is not a big market. Unlike the bengals their team before josh Allen couldn’t buy a playoff to save their life. Their attendance was strong throughout the 2000s.
There is only one team out of the 3 that consistently had 10k less in attendance when they didn’t have a winning season. It’s not the bills or the chiefs. Not even ONE bad attendance season like that. It was the bengals. Several times. Consistently almost like clockwork.
