We were probably the best team in the NFL in 2005. We had high expectations but failed to meet them for a variety of reasons not necessarily associated with "we bad" decisions from 2006 to 2008 (many were reverberating issues from Carson's 2005 injury). In 2009 we swept the division.
We were, by and large, a respectable team heading into 2010, where we became a bit of a circus with Chad going crazy and TO being just good enough to cause drama all over the place.
And then from 2012 to 2017, with Dalton, we were considered a playoff worthy franchise, although 2016 and 2017 did not go according to plan.
We still struggled with playoff wins but we were, in every conceivable way, turned around. A lot of that had to do with Carson Palmer turning the team around from its hilarious ineptitude before him (remember, before 2005, we hadn't hit .500 since 1990.)
And, what, now we have a few bad seasons and we're suddenly irredeemable again?
This is some bullshit spewing out of TJ's mouth.
Agreed CJD. Always loved Housh when he was here but this was some BS acting like no one can fix this team.
We aren't that far away from being a formidable team again. All we have to do is add to the O-line and Linebackers.
Coaching needs to improve but who is to say it won't, all these guys are acting like Mike Brown coaches the Bengals.
On the field is where you win games, we get the players in here, namely Burrow and we will win games, lots of them.
Burrow has accuracy, touch and doesn't turn the ball over like Carson did tons. Carson was a pick 6 fella.
