I think Bengals fans exaggerate the "misery" since Marvin Lewis took over.
Yea it sucks having not won a playoff game, but...
The Bengals have only had 2 truly bad seasons in those 15 years.
They've had 6 very mediocre seasons.
They've had 7 Playoff season, 4 of which they won a division that includes Baltimore and Pittsburgh (two regularly good teams with multiple super bowls in the last two decades.
Go to Buffalo, go to Cleveland, Go to Washington, hell some other teams have had a couple seasons where they made a nice run, but have had a lot more miserable seasons than the Bengals over the last decade and a half.
Cincinnati fans have this way of making everything seem way worse than it is. It'd be great to break through and win in the playoffs. It'd be great to have a title contending team that doesn't lose its starting QB before the playoffs (or on the first play of the playoffs), but ultimately if you're miserable watching the Bengals, maybe you should watch sports at all or just jump on the bandwagon of teams like the Patriots and Steelers. They are the exception, not the rule, but if you need a dominant franchise to be happy then just root for one.
