Bad snaps and grueling last second losses happen, but when they make you 1-4 instead of 3-2 as a result because you just can't beat the teams you were supposed to you have less margin for error and less of a reason for people to shrug and give the "shit happens" excuse to it all.
But at the same time, it's the Burrow era Bengals so every frustrating loss early just turns into "well, just add an extra win to our usual 10+ game winning streak that'll pull us back into the picture."
You're exactly right there. Against NE, the whole damn team stunk. Against the Commanders, the defense didn't get one lousy stop. It's so frustrating to watch this offense finally have a decent line and ball out, only to be wasted by a historically bad defense.
