He was being highly complimentary of the Bengals and then when he mentioned the Bengals defense he dropped the “fairly tough”. With that said he could have said a lot worse. 

Well, credit the opportunistic fan writer who chose to single out one sentence from all that Tom actually said.  On the other hand, football is a competitive sport where the participants will grasp at the tiniest details looking for something to draw emotional energy from, in order to gain that competitive edge.  In other words, Tom left the door open, why wouldn't the Bengals come rushing through it?
