- The roster is awesome but the coaches are holding the team back.
- We as Bengals fans are overrating how good the players are.
- A combination of 1 & 2.
Personally, I just don't like most of the O-line and Eli Apple. That's it. Apple will actually prevent himself from being embarrassed from time to time. I have always felt Mixon got far too much hate. ( I think the contract doesn't help ). I do think he is on a downward trend and I hate to see it, but I do. I'm ok with the rest of the team, really. I don't expect 1st team all pros at every position. Defense is otherwise devoid of bums. Offense has studs.
Is it a team for 17-0? Nope. Should they be losing like this? Absolutely not. Coaching is a major contributing factor. Even with Burrow/mixon/O-line etc, having bad games, you need to scheme around it. Bunch of warehouse workers know our plays but NFL DCs don't. Yea3h, playcalling is god awful.
