New OC
5 new position coaches
All new WR corp save for AJ
New RT who is basically a rookie
played 3 games without Burfict
played 6 games without Eifert....so far
On top of that have played
Jets in NY on anniversary of 9/11
at PIT
defending SB champs DEN
Short week to a primetime game on a Thurs
and NE at home in Brady's first game back
Why does the fact that the Bengals are having a tough time surprise anyone?
Just speaking more in general than this particular season...but I hope that the day will come, sometime in the near future, when we as Bengals fans are left with something besides infinite excuses. I hope the day will come when, instead of explaining things away year after year...we can actually talk about winning playoff games, overcoming adversity and obstacles, consistently competing with the best, and leaving the excuses to other teams.
