Can we just take a step back and look at the roster?

I'm sorry, but parts of this roster just reek of mediocrity or below average play and the organization just wont upgrade it. So until then, im expecting the same results. Average. 

Yes and no.

Glenn and Hart are better than Ogbuehi and Fisher. But they still performed below expectations.
The receivers now are better than they were in 2016 and 2017, but not by much.
Eifert hasn't been able to stay healthy any year, so that's a constant.
Price didn't really perform any better than Bodine, but he was projected to be (much) better.
The defense is very similar year-to-year, personnel-wise. I think the scheme that Austin brought really didn't fit the personnel the Bengals had, which caused a huge dropoff.
