IMO, we haven't even had the draft yet so it's hard to see where we will go. 2yrs ago, we knew there was no place to go but up. After last year, well, we can get worse and it doesn't look like we've taken an aggressive approach in doing so. We might have improved the OL with Reiff, but we didn't crush it like an organization should do with a QB named Burrow. That leaves me very skeptical on winning next season because they will rely on draft picks going further for OL.

Read an article today where the Bengals scouting department thought the draft was deep in OL. This is my problem. Many draft picks don't transition well. When you have Burrow, you want some proven players. Dude already had surgery because of bad OL and bad coaching. In all honesty, if they couldn't have protected him they should have benched him until they fixed it. Protect your guys. Although, I'll admit, I couldn't wait to watch Burrow develop week to week so I was just as bad as they were.

Sadly, Taylor has managed to take a down team and turn it downward even more.

Yeh, it's a New Dey was than chant from the front office two years ago, but the new dey we got wasn't what we were expecting. The Brown family puts forth all this blow hard confidence in Taylor in the public, but privately they've gotta be thinking about pulling the plug if this teams starts off losing once again.
