This team is making more moves because it is desperate. We are in the middle of a stretch that I am guessing is the worst in the history of the team. I'd have to go back and look, but I doubt that even in the dark days of the '90's we ever went 24 games with only 4 wins.
When you suck this bad you have to make more moves. It cracks me up that in the middle of this nightmare some fans still try to act like it is better now than during the Marvin era.
Well regardless of what we think, Marvin is gone. So you don't have to defend him anymore. We are where we are and I'm happy that our FO is making an attempt to improve. Zac's first year was a disaster but that was largely with the team that Marvin left behind. Also, we can't really get that mad about how bad that season was because even 1 more win means we lose Burrow.
Hopefully, we get better this season, which it appears as though we are. We currently are 4-19-1 under Taylor. The worst 2 season stretch was in 1993 to 1994, where they went 6-26 under Dave Shula. If we can win 2 more games, he will not be the worst 2 season stretch in Bengals history but obviously, we are hoping for more. I think we could win as many as 5 more games this year or as little as 2.
If Taylor does go, however, I hope the front office continues to spend on free agents like they have been. Because that's what nearly every other NFL team does.
