They failed to being in competition for an offensive line that struggled in 2019. Im not even saying they had to bring in new starters across the board...just competition. We are seeing the effects of that decision with the lack of run blocking and poor pass protection. Now you can actually see them scrambling with the Finney and Spain pickups.
The Bengals RIGHTFULLY put a lot of money into defense. Imagine if our defense would've held together (been healthy), and kept opponents to more reasonable scores, all the while we'd be putting up points like we have been. It's not hard at all to see, nor is it a leap of faith to see what they were doing. They specifically paid a LOT of money to stop the run, beefed up the secondary against the pass, and got screwed. It happens sometimes, I suppose. More to Cincy it SEEMS like, but even so, next year should be good!
