He's simply stating what many of us have been complaining about for years - the culture here isn't one of winning, there's no discipline, no true single focus in all aspects of the game on the ultimate goal.
Yes they tweak around the edges here and there but if Mike really wanted to win Marvin would have been gone years ago.
That's debatable. There is a culture of winning, as the Bengals have continually had winning records in the regular season. So that one is all based on what you consider "winning culture".
There is a single focus which is winning a playoff game. It may not be the focus some fans prefer, but I think all fans would be satisfied with (at least) one playoff win.
The milestones for every team should be:
1) Avoid losing season
2) Have a winning record
3) Make playoffs
4) Win playoff game(s)
5) Make conference championship game
6) Make Super Bowl
7) Win Super Bowl
The Bengals have accomplished 1-3 and are now on milestone #4. Achieve that first then focus on the next.
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: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
