People are quick to jump on the 1-5 record of 2023, but it's not like they've been having a losing record.
It was one season after two good seasons.
Oh I think we should write 2023 off... the Bengals aren't typically 1-5 in the North. I think Burrow was healthy for a single 30 mins of the division games this year and that was it. We shouldn't look too much into this year's record (even though we did still manage 8-3 outside of it).
I personally wouldn't say 3-3 is a 'good' season, especially when we should've been aiming at the #1 seed. Though we did rebound from an 0-3 start didnt we?
Ironically the team in the division I'm most confident we'll beat is the Steelers!
