That's more than just "bad luck", that's a definite pattern of failure in drafting.
I wouldn't call that a pattern of failure in drafting. It was a strategy that the Bengals had. Rather than draft for immediate need, they drafted future replacements of starters that were aging.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
