The closest in NFL to that is 8-9, which is .471%
If a NFL team is 1 game under .500, they aren't considered TERRIBLE to the point of swearing off going to games because of it.
2016-2019 was one of the worst periods for Reds+Bengals combined.
Neither team even got to .500 any of those 4 years.
Outside of those 4 years, either the Reds and/or the Bengals have been mostly near .500 or above over the past 20 or so years.
When you think about it, our superbowl team was 10-7. One game away from being 9-8 which with 17 games, is basically .500
We really weren’t a great team. We got hot at the end and got lucky. Hard to replicate that. The only way to replicate success in the nfl is to be pretty dominant. The margin of error to make the Super Bowl is very very slim. The probability we ever make another superbowl in the Joe burrow era is pretty low. It’s because we’re not a dominant team. I think we’ll make some playoffs and then have to get extremely lucky to beat 3 teams and then beat the NFC. Winning home field and a bye is such a massive advantage.
