It's rare to go from 4.5 wins to playoffs the very next season.
Playoffs should probably be more of an expectation next year, not this year.
Look at the Cardinals for a good sign of what to expect:
2018: 3-13
2019: 5-10-1
2020: 8-8
2021: currently 7-1
Bengals' 2019 and 2020 basically follows the Cardinals' 2018 and 2019 minus 1 win each season.
Our losses have all been 3 points or less, and the afc is weak and wide open this year
