I wouldn't say my expectations need tempered because I've considered 2020 a growth year for a while now.The Bengals are a young team and a lot of these guys haven't really played together.
On the offensive like as it looks right now only Michael Jordan and Trey Hopkins will be the only two returning linemen to play next to each other in 2020. The Bengals rebuilt a huge portion of the defense so they all need to learn to work with together and communicate. Joe Burrow has to build chemistry and trust with his receiving core. I'm thinking it will be a mediocre season especially considering the state of the AFC North.
...That said there is ALOT of talent on the Bengals roster and they could surprise everyone.
