5-4 would be dissapointing right now, whereas it wasn't as much 2 weeks ago, thinking that they would have lost to the Ravens then beaten the Jets with the Browns game being 50/50. 5-4 at that time seemed "ok". After the Ravens game and with how beat up the Browns are now, 5-4 seems like a huge let down.
People's mindset shifted after the Ravens win.
Probably a little premature.
Bengals have the ability to beat any team, but they also aren't consistent enough yet.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
