It took all of two games two quash the hopes of Cincinnati Bengals fans. After a game where so much promise was offered in a Week 1 loss at Seattle, an absolute implosion in Week 2 at home against San Francisco cast the dye.
This was a team with issues.
This was a team Zac Taylor was Ill-equipped to coach.
The good feelz of a Week 17 win against an in-state rival will dull the pain. What it won’t do is hide how disastrous 2019 was for the Bengals. Say what you will, but 2020 will be a make-it or break-it kind of season for Taylor.
