I think we could/should be better than our record says... but are we?
We lost to the Patriots (their only win until today). At no point was their win 'undeserved'. We played badly, but they did more than we did to win the game.
We should never have lost to the Chiefs, but Burrow's fumble-6 and a ridiculous defensive error ensured that we did.
Our defence absolutely own the losses to Washington and Baltimore.
And we got shellacked today.
Our wins have been over the Browns/Panthers/Giants... none of whom are any good whatsoever.
We're just basing this on what the Bengals have been like, if we're saying we're better than our record.... we really haven't been. Those winning seasons of the past had better teams than this year's Bengals currently look. I hope they get it together too, but there has been a clear drop off this year in my opinion.
