Starting out 0-2 against non-AFC North teams is not a disaster. However, starting out 0-2 in the division is highly concerning.
This Bengals’ roster on both sides of the ball is stacked and loaded. There is too much talent in the Cincinnati locker room to panic right now. Even in the most recent seasons where the Bengals made the AFC Championship the team started very slow. To my mind this is a product of Zac Taylor not playing starters in preseason; I hope he changes his strategy next year and onward into the future. With such a complex offense largely based on timing more preseason reps seem necessary.
Despite the egg the team laid in Cleveland I’m not ready to concede next week to the Ratbirds; far from it!
