Whether anyone thinks the Bengals can do it or not, it's much easier to go from a loser to a winner quickly in football than in other sports, which is part of what makes it so popular. There is the recent example of the Rams, who went from a nothing team to last year's Super Bowl. Even looking at the Bengals, does anyone remember how in 2011 everyone predicted a basement finish and a repeat 4-12 record? Instead, Andy, AJ and a few other scrappers surprised everybody.
Friendly reminder that the Rams fired their coaches after they went 4-12 in 2016. The reason they went 11-5 the next year and 13-3 the year after with a SB appearance is because they didn't strap themselves to the anchor of bad coaching and fired Jeff Fisher, hiring Sean McVay.
Meanwhile the Bengals are going to keep their loser 2-14 HC/offensive playcaller.
