Some people claim bad play is because of the starters not caring/trying or don't want to get injured in a meaningless game.
I'm just stating that some are playing poorly because they stink or aren't prepared to play.
If you think that every starter was giving 100% and that the coaching staff was scheming 100% just like a regular season game, then I have a bridge to sell you.
I won't say our #1s "weren't trying", but I bet you see guys taking plays off and halfassing it more than you'll ever see when the games matter. Preseason is for the backups to try hard and for the starters to look competent and not get injured. The Bengals didn't look competent the other night, and that really sucks and there are areas of concern, but it's hardly the end of the world as some of the doom n' gloomers have been speculating towards.
I hope if the #1s light it up this weekend, the Debbie Downers can get on board with a preemptive "we're going to the Super Bowl!!!". At least stay consistent, I guess.
