I'm not sure I follow this line of thinking. In my mind if you say a 4 win team is better than an 11 win team you have to follow that up by saying that the HC is a moron who completely blew the season.
Even if Burrow doesn't get injured in DC and we win all 7 games in a row after that we still end up 4 wins shy of the Browns.
Bengals were in year 2 of a big rebuild. Because of injuries our coaches in some instances were playing players they just signed and in both games we still almost beat the Browns. Football is not all about talent alone. NFL players are all really talented players. Some players ability fits better in not only the rights scheme but also the right coaching. Apparently Turner's style of coaching did not mesh with the players he was coaching. Hopefully Pollack's style is more accepted and yields better results. Anarumo was coaching some guys who did not fit his system as well. The old square peg round hole adage. This year there should be no excuses for ZT and Anarumo and I am betting we will see very competitive football. I see us 5-1 in our division with the only loss coming at Baltimore. I know you will think that is crazy but as of right now I am not right or wrong. Time will tell.
