The Bengals have thought that for years.
Now, FWIW, they were leading at halftime or later in the following games:
SEA
BUF
JAX
They were also tied with ARI with less than 2 minutes remaining.
So I GUESS if the team looks at it as ALMOST games where the Bengals had a chance to win, they could be 3-4 or 4-3 right now potentially.
Maybe their thought process is that if Green, Glenn, and a couple others were playing, they'd have those wins.
But the problem with that thought process is it's not guaranteed that they win even with those players in.
It's really sad that the Bengals don't know by now that no team stays healthy all year long. There are always injuries. The really good teams are the ones who have good depth and can adjust their playcalling to accommodate those injuries. The Bengals have neither right now, and that's why they are 0-7.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
