theyre probably DECENT at best at pass protection.

This.

Bengals allowed 3 sacks.
If that because the average per game, that would be 51 in the season.
Looking at sacks allowed last year, 51 would have been 7th worst in the league.
FWIW, Bengals allowed 50 last year, tied for 7th worst.

Bengals allowed 152 total pressures last year (11th worst), which was 21.9% of dropbacks (14th worst).
This past game, while they allowed 3 sacks, Pro Football Reference did not tag with the Bengals with a single other hit or hurry outside of those 3 sacks. That's tied for 15th best in the league. So still right around middle of the pack like last year in regard to pressures.

If anything their running game might be improved this season whereas the pass blocking is staying about the same or maybe slightly improved.
