I feel like this is more outside of the games themselves and more around player development.
I think this ultimately boils down to how well the Bengals added FAs and high draft picks back in 2020-2021 but now they are having to figure things out with a tighter purse due to some big contracts and haven't done a good job of that.
Bates and Reader departing in FA were probably the two biggest hits to this defense.
They have no game-changing DBs now.
Their DL can't seem to get any pressure or sacks outside of Hendrickson.
Out of Hendrickson, the DL has only 4 sacks.
For offense, there hasn't been anyone really to step up for Mixon and Boyd departing.
Bengals are heavily dependent on Higgins being healthy to have any type of passing offense.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: 3-5 so far. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
