If it was as simplistic as you suggest then any and all changes would be justified. Maybe we should have Andy Dalton throw the ball with his feet. Bengal QBs have been throwing with their hands every year and they have not won a playoff game in 26 years. I mean, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results, right? So why should we expect to win a playoff game if we keep trying the same thing over and over again with the same results.
The fact is that some of the stuff the Bengals are doing is working. That is why they have won so many games consistently over the last several years.
People with truly analytical minds try to look at the evidence and see what is working and what is not working. That is what I try to do. Too many people around here just see the mistakes the bengals make and never notice that many other teams do the exact same thing. They claim that the bengals are the "worst in the league" when in fact they are average. But when I point out that they are average I get attacked for claiming "Every Bengal player is an All Star and none of the coaches ever make any mistakes". It is ridiculous.
The fact is that I criticize the Bengals for the things they deserve to be criticized for. I am even going to start a thread to prove it.
All I know is that something has to be done about people insisting that any change at all is justified by the fact that the Bengals have not won a playoff game in 26 years. There is no logic to that argument. It makes no sense. The truth is that it is complicated to see what is working and what is not. There is so much myth and message board BS flying around that many people do not really know what the truth is.
You do realize the point of a message board is that people can give their opinions, correct? Obviously you feel that yours are more justified, that you have better thought process behind them, but that is the same with each and every person who posts here. Are people prone to hyperbole? Definitely so, but that is the case with society in general. This board is no different.
