The 2018 Eagles had almost an identical situation with a second year HC. They 'found' a way to win. That's the difference with this franchise since 1990.
You don't even have to look past the division to see the difference:
1970 - 1989: PB Owner/HC Bengals 19 wins - Steelers 20 wins
1990 - Present: MB Owner Bengals 16 wins - Steelers 40 wins
Would love to see some change in history but the two times the Bengals played in the SB, they had the #1 seed. Hard to accomplish that with the Steelers owning them like they do.
It should go a long way in beating the Steelers having a decent O-line.
We will at the very least split with them if the O-line is decent, we should of split with them last year if it wasn't
for the 2nd half collapse. We don't play the Steelers until midseason so the O-line should be gelling by then.
We won 7 games last season with the shittiest Offensive Line in the NFL.
I would think we would win more than 7 games this year with a decent Offensive Line.
To say we will only win 7 games after all these upgrades to me is not even doing your homework, like i said, crazy.
If we would of stood pat and kept PA and all these shitty players i could understand you, but we didn't.
