I do have to point out that the bengals only won one game against a team with a winning record that year, but it was a road game (at Tenn)
I do get somewhat the whole winning record discussion, but it begs the question, if we lose to any team at .500, then they would have a winning record. If we lose to any team that goes 7-9, they become 8-8 and off the losing record list.
You take 2015 and we are 8-0. If we lose to the Seahawks (4-4), they have a winning record. Same for the Steelers. Chiefs would be at 4-4 now versus 3-5. The Bills would go from losing record of 3-4 to 4-3 with win over us.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
