How things got this bad?

[THE PISTONS]

Add to that LB was never addressed and was, for the most part, being held together by a prime Vontaze. Once he dropped his play, the weaknesses really came out. The defensive line is getting older and again, have been playing within pitiful scheming and play calling.

Since Hue has left, Cincinnati really hasn’t had a talented play caller. On top of that, a lot of the offensive line talented has either retired or left which has left our skilled position players getting hung out to dry. Since then, many of the draft picks have been whiffs (Ross/Price).

Talent has left all over the board and it hasn’t been replenished.

We lost A LOT of talent in free agency after the Steelers playoff loss and then the next year. I started a thread at the time about it. And we failed to replace it.

Honestly, it's the perfect storm of a bunch of things going wrong.

Bad drafting, not signing free agents, poor coaching, poor scheme, etc.
