Look a team like the Dolphins beat the Pat's. Many of the bad teams did bigger things that count as improvement.
To spot improvement here, you have to generally look at a 3 game stretch.
The running game improved. That's about all.
The fear is these guys could ruin Burrow. It's a real fear.
A very real fear. If we see a status quo Bengals off-season, it'll be obvious that the FO is just being lazy and relying 100% on Burrow to drive ticket sales. A highly motivated NFL front office could fix many of our problems in just a few months. We could easily clear up as much as $100 million in cap space by trimming some fat.
If this FO has ever been serious about winning a championship...if it's their #1 priority, then now is the time to be aggressive and completely retool this roster. It could very easily be done. Instead, I worry that we'll be keeping some of this dead weight around, or not spending to the cap. Being fully passive in FA, etc.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
