My cynical take is that it is entirely possible one of our new coaches is going to be the reason the season was a "waste" like Zampese and Austin were. We have so many in over their heads coaches that it's going to take a lot of luck that I don't think the Bengals have for them to succeed right away.I would say the biggest problem this organization has had in the last three seasons is our dumbass GM Tobin. Losing Jones, Whit, and Zeitler in back to back off seasons was a killer. Also injuries played a big role in 16 and 18. There was no hope in 17.
But this just comes down to the excuses we make when things go wrong and how we've had 3 wasted seasons in a row. Let's see....
2015 - Dalton injured
2016 - Zampese is crap
2017 - Zampese is crap
2018- Lazor is crap, Austin is crap, Marvin is crap
Dishonorable Mention: 1992 - 2018 - Our HC's are all crap
I just can't help but feel like betting our team is healthy and all of our coaches aren't crap is like going to Vegas and putting it all on 00 green.
