Doesn't matter. According to you the Bengals have not lived up to expectations. Yet, almost NO ONE predicted the Bengals to have a winning season, let alone 10 or more wins. The fact is that the Bengals have EXCEEDED expectations.

So, Burrow should have MORE than 4300 yards and 30 TDs? Mixon should have MORE than 1100 yards and 13 TDs? We should have MORE than TWO 1,000 yard receivers? Hendrickson should have MORE than 14 sacks?

Where exactly are we "underperforming"?

And again, show me where ANYONE, let alone everyone, expected our guys to have these kinds of stats let alone MORE than what they have.

It's the GameDay thread. The same place where people will declare a game over in the 1st QTR after a turnover or the season over in Game 1 after a bad play. So, if you're basis for "underperforming" is the GameDay thread then it's literally not worth the paper it's printed on.
