So there was no improvement there you can point to.
After starting 8-0, we ended 4-4. 4-5 if you include the playoffs.
THIS is accurate.
The Bengals snatched defeat out of the mouth of victory. Imploded on national television in a disgraceful way. Embarrassing.
Who cares how the season started? What matters is how the season ended?
Were the Bengals entertaining? Yes! Absolutely. But, we are judging the overall season, so . . .
But, down the stretch they failed to beat a playoff team ( Pittsburgh twice, Arizona, Houston, Denver) beating the Browns twice, Rams, 49ers.
Beat bad teams.
Lose every game to any good team.
Average. And disappointing.
B- at best.
