That isn't to say the Raiders haven't earned their 10 wins; clearly they have. It's just one of those indicators I believe is prone to inter-season variation, and the Bengals are a good example. The crap teams of 2019 and 2020 were probably less crap than they appeared, but lost often by narrow margins. Bad luck.
Because Bobby whatsisface at RT was arguably the greatest RT in Bengals history, but just had some bad luck? Because the Dline last year just flipped a coin, called tails and it turned up heads? Nah..they were crap.. Injuries played a big part in things, but crap still smells like crap no matter how lucky or unlucky it is..
