Are we really going to call our brand new and incredibly young head coach a disappointment if he doesn't turn a 6 win team with a god awful defense into a 9 win team overnight? I'm just not sure I can buy that, sorry.
How did a coach (ML) many disrespect do in year one?

I will help you, read above. He took a team from 2-14 to 8-8, yet some fans think too much to ask for ZT to take a team from 6-10 to 9 or 10 wins year one? A team decimated by injury to key players in 2018?
It confuses me. If he is incredible as you state, we should expect a 4 to 6 game improvement in my mind.
FYI..Our 1st round pick in 2003 did not start, it was Carson Palmer so lose that excuse also.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
