With that said, the 2022 season did start 2-3 and the Bengals went on to lose just 1 more game after that, so it can happen.
The last time the Bengals were 3 games under .500 though was 2020 when they went 4-11-1.
So keep an eye over the next month or so, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
I don't see a defensive difference maker who is going to blossom abruptly to have this defense do a 180 midway through the season.
I do think they'll get somewhat better though.
Well yeah, I understand you don't want to get your hopes up. All I am saying is this team under Taylor and with Burrow has done some
crazy things and they could do it again if the Defense just improves to decent under Lou. The Offense is playing fantastic, best Burrow
has played at this point in a season and we actually have an okay OL and a running game with Chase Brown.
The Defense can only improve and a young player like Myles Murphy, Kris Jenkins, CTB, DJ Turner, Battle etc could emerge you never
know...
Sure, if we lose to the Giants on Sunday night I think I will stop posts like this until something miraculous starts to happen, I think 10
wins easily gets us into the playoffs and we have 12 games left is all I am saying. The Defense is bound to start making a clutch stop
here and there, it has been the complete opposite of this though and the ball has just went the other way in all these close games
except in Carolina and the refs certainly have had some bad calls at crucial times against us.
