We have to at least see how the rest of this season plays out. The fact that our defense being good is a tremendous surprise that has our jaws on the floor should be evidence as to how low the bar was going into the season. Lou and ZT both look a lot better this year, but it's still a bit early to declare them out of the immense holes they've dug.
And yea, we can go on about how starting off so utterly terrible "wasn't their fault" but then we get into admitting that the Bengals' organization is utter crap, so meh...no real positive way to spin this. So far so good, wait 'n' see etc.
I don't think that is necessarily true. His first year he did not get a chance to pick his players and tried to implement his schemes with the wrong type players, which may have been on him, but there is no way you could blame them for the severe rash of injuries and covid opt outs that completely devastated this team. That was just happenstance.
