I think some of you are wrong thinking this team is loaded with play-off talent and ZT better deliver fast. The TRUTH is when last we saw the Bengals there was Marvin Lewis and Hue Stinks on the sideline of a Last Place Team with some very Last Place Players. The O Line was awful, the D was awful and not even close to being a Play-Off Team. So there was a huge change of coaches and some players. So ZT was handed one of the worst team of players in the NFL. To expect Play-Offs in ZT's first year is asking too much. The hiring of Coach Taylor should not be a one year try out, because it will probably take more than one year and several drafts to rebuild Marvins Last Place Team.
That said, I hope they win their Home Opener and NEW DEY & Coach Taylor get their first Win. The O Line still has many problems, but somehow I hope Bengals win anyway. 49ers have a good D and that good TE. Marvin always had trouble against a TE like Kittle. I hope NEW DEY can get the win.
Remember this team did not get so awful over night and it will not be play-offs over night. It will be one day at a time and one week at a time as New Dey is only in it's second game. Marvin left the cupboard pretty bare, last place and awful. There is no magic wand for Coach Taylor. NEW DEY will take time. Again, Marvin left the cupboard pretty bare. Building a Dominate O Line alone will take a couple years due to lack of talent.
GO BENGALS. NEW DEY had to be. Old Who Dey was at rock bottom.
Paul Brown starting Bengals told Fans not to expect much the first 5 years. I won't say that for Taylor, but don't expect a miracle turnaround the first year. This team was bad, worse than many of you want to admit. It is not the most talented team in NFL as some of you like to believe. The O Line and D were just awful when Marvin left. Bengals had less talented players than most NFL teams when ZT took over less than 8 months ago.
