In Dave Shula's rookie year, he won 5 games and lost another 5 by 7 points or less.

In the NFL, you either win or lose. You don't count close losses.

Plus, against the Bills and I believe Cards...we barely moved the ball in the 1st half. Terrible performances.

You mentioned them not resembling an NFL team for 12 weeks but they definitely resembled one in week 1 versus Seattle.

I agree that the Pendulum has swung far to the bad side in 2019 but not to the extreme "not competitive at all or ever" point.

I personally think that hopeful signs can be found in close losses (against playoff caliber teams especially)

Maybe at times the Bengals have resembled an NFL team in 2019 but not as often or consistently as we would hope.
