This team is making more moves because it is desperate. We are in the middle of a stretch that I am guessing is the worst in the history of the team. I'd have to go back and look, but I doubt that even in the dark days of the '90's we ever went 24 games with only 4 wins.
When you suck this bad you have to make more moves. It cracks me up that in the middle of this nightmare some fans still try to act like it is better now than during the Marvin era.
Since you mentioned it, I went and looked it up. The Bengals went 4-20 in 1998-1999. Beginning in Week 7 of 1998, the went 1-10 the rest of the season. In 1999, they started off 1-10 before reeling off three straight victories. The 24 game period you mentioned ended in Week 14 of 1999, right after the second win of the three game win streak.
