I had them predicted at 4 or 5 wins going into the Bye week and another 3-4 after.
I did not predict 5 already through 7 games.
I've been really hard on both Taylor and Anarumo as playcallers, but perhaps it really did need to take multiple years to get the right players in place to fit the scheme, plus the team has been very healthy overall.
I'm now convinced that the Bengals do have a shot to beat any team on their schedule.
It may take them one more draft to get a win in the playoffs, but I think they're close.
Get maybe 1-2 more OL (C and maybe RG) and perhaps a new outside CB, and this team could be a contender.
Agree with where they are and they could be shy of the playoffs, and I also think with injuries happening like they do, depth is the key to the SB as well, because keeping the starters healthy is not a given!
