TB wanted to make a good showing n front of their fans, and they actually game planned and blitzed to show off.  When one tries to win in the pre-season it says something about the quality of the team and expectations.  Now no one enjoys seeing their team perform poorly, but it's pre-season and meaningless.  The Bengals record is currently 0-0 and will remain so until week 1.

With that said, it doesn't help us evaluate young layers when the opposing team is game planning to win.  Reminds me of the NO game in 2008 when Palmer got his nose bloodied.

I was listening to Mike Florio this afternoon.  His take on it was that the game was meaningless.  He said that Tampa had not won at home for ten straight games and that Tampa was playing to win that game to generate fan interest in the team, while Cincinnati was playing to win in January.
