People like to pretend that the 4-1 start was because of health, but the wheels fell off well after that 4-1 start.

Bengals got lucky that they got to face a rusty-armed Luck playing his first game in like 2 years. (Even then you had huge red flags, like Margus Hunt having a 2-sack game and how the Colts TEs ran wild on the Bengals D.)

Week 3 they allowed 31 points, Week 4 they allowed 36 points. 

Can we please put the "They were 4-1 when healthy! They just need to be healthy this year!" to rest already?

Yep. People like to cherry pick for optimism. The defense got pretty bad around midseason too.
