2011 Bengals were coming off a season where their offense ranked 20th and the defense ranked in the top half of the league (15th). They had a head coach with 8 years experience and a winning career record. They made the playoffs but only had one win against a team with a winning record.
2020 Bengals are coming off a season where their offense ranked 26th and their defense 29th. Their head coach has one year of experience and a .125 career winning percentage.
It will be much tougher to repeat what we did in 2011 because the 2019 team was much worse than the 2010 team. But there are some striking similarities. Both seasons our first two picks in the draft were a WR and QB, and we signed 3 new starters for our defense in free agency.
