Things that I think are affecting the Bengals more than people realize...

The miscommunications we've seen along the oline are surely directly attributable to a lack of snaps in the preseason, something we were all hesitant/concerned about.

I'm not necessarily concerned about what this team can be right now.  I know they can fix it.  However, I'm dreadfully concerned that we've dropped two very winnable games that are going to put us behind the 8-ball when the competition level ratchets up.  We're going to have to play mistake free ball from here on out.

If we lose to the Jets this week, I'll panic.

Right

You have to know where that guy is on every snap and set your blocking around it. Parsons was untouched or nearly untouched on way too many plays. How does that happen with NFL level coaching ?
