Thank you!

That's not all that bad considering how awful last years of Coach Lewis were.  I mean, all the coaches fired except Lewis and then the last year so awful that Lewis and more coaches fired.  Coach Lewis left the cupboard bare, Taylor walked into a complete rebuild.  It took a couple years, but Taylor did eliminate big money contracts and Marvin #1 Draft Picks that just weren't panning out.  It's a long list of Marvin #1 picks that had to be shown the door, before this team could use that money to rebuild.  Joe Burrow by himself wasn't enough, he isn't Superman, you have to build a team around him.  

In all fairness to Coach Lewis, the Bengals cupboard was mighty bare when he came in and started turning things around in a rebuild.  Same when Coach Taylor came in.  Both time Bengals were at Rock Bottom needing a complete rebuild  and that takes years.  As Paul Brown said in 1968, don't expect much the first few years, it takes years and a few drafts to build a team.  I was there in 1968, and the team Lewis took over and the team Taylor took over needed as much rebuild as what Paul Brown had in 1968. 

Anyway, GO BENGALS....3-4 and 1-1 in AFC North starts getting this  train back on the tracks.
