I think a replacement level head coach could've had this team at 9-7, 10-6. We probably win the Texans game, the Green Bay game, the Steelers game at home, and maybe has the team ready to play against the Bears, and right now we're talking about a playoff matchup at Jacksonville or at KC. That's why I'm not happy with 7-9 because knowing what we know now it's an underachievement.
They gained a level of competency where we're no longer 3-13 so regular seasons got more fun, but losing in the wildcard round 7 times and holding the title of "longest drought since winning a playoff game" is more embarrassing in its own way. Like, how the eff is it possible that Los Angeles Raiders, Houston Oilers, pre-move Cleveland Browns all have more recent playoff wins than us? We are the bungles and I'll fight any fan outside of Bengals fans who call us that.
