Taylor seem to think the offensive line is playing well

Marvin Lewis was a 16 year head coaching veteran with a winning record and still couldn't get more than 6 wins out of this "largely the same roster". And then you have the gall to act like a first time HC should be expected to take a roster that hasn't had a winning record in over 3 seasons and take it to AT LEAST 6 wins. Yes, there were many - myself included - who thought a change in coaching staff would be enough to improve the team a little. Clearly, we were wrong. But, saying Taylor should be fired before the end of his first season because he's not doing as well as the last guy would be like saying cut Tua or Burrow because he's not playing as well as Dalton right out of the gate.

When Marv was a first time HC he took a losing team and got it to 8-8 his first season. So any comparison with Marvin puts Taylor in a bad light. In fact, comparing Taylor to just about any coach puts him in a bad light, even if only comparing bad coaches to him. Dave Shula was at least able to muster 5 wins our of his team his first year as HC.
