It's difficult to articulate the disappointment of the Cincinnati Bengals' past few seasons. Joe Burrow has suffered two major injuries, the defense was mostly abominable, and no, complementary football is still not a thing under head coach Zac Taylor.
All indications are that the Bengals are ready to run it back with Duke Tobin in charge of personnel and Taylor leading the coaching staff. That's all well and good, but if next season comes and goes and it's no playoffs for a fourth straight year, trust that major change will indeed transpire.
That was the not-so-subtle hint Burrow dropped after Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns in Cincinnati.
