It makes you start to wonder if it really is a new day or if last year was an illusion and we're back to 2020 Bungles...
If you really think about what have we actually done?
ZT first season = win 2 games.
ZT 2nd and Burrow 1st season = 4 wins and a Burrow knee injury.
ZT 3rd and Burrow 2nd season have a miracle run to the SB. 10-7. Hardly a dominant year with soooooooo many games we won by the skin of our teeth that could have gone either way.
ZT 4th and Burrow 3rd season = 4-4 currently. O-line looks bad and Burrow is hot and cold.
ZT 20-36-1 Burrow 16-17-1 Both have losing records currently.
I'm not trying to be negative. I have been watching the Bengals for over 30 years. Other than the miracle SB year last year, it feels like nothing really has changed except for some more hope that is not translating to wins.
Whatever. After over 30 years of watching the Bengals I don't get to bothered by it anymore. The reality is if you look at ZT and Burrow so far it's one miracle year and both with losing records otherwise.
I live in Bills Country and all my friends are huge Bills fans. Now that is a team that looks like they can take it all. They are just dominating people. Look at some of their stats. That's what I thought the Bengals would be, but so far, in the ZT and Burrow years, nope. Not even close. How many times in the last season and a half did the Bengals just thump a good healthy playoff caliber team? I can't even think of one off the top of my head. The Ravens were pretty injured when we whooped them.
Sorry, just had to vent a little. Just another disappointing Bengals season as usual. I guess one almost miracle season in over 30 is better than 0.
