Prime Time Games

Even if it was "just a preseason game," there's no excuse for coming out that flat.  Listening to Dalton's press conference today, I think I'm hearing a little more maturity and seeing a little more maturity from him. We'll see how it translates into his performance and his leadership on the field.

You said it. Preseason or not, the team looked uninspired and the first team played with no desire. I was at that game. The OL was bad, Dalton was bad, Green caught a pass early then looked bad. It wasn't until McCarron came in that the attitude changed.

Gotta tell you a funny story about the game though. When we got the TSA folks to pass security, the TSA guy asked me who our QB was, had my Bengals T-shirt on. I said, "What?" He said, "Who's your QB?" I said, "Andy Dalton, of course. Why?" He said, "Well only 50% seem to know that." I laughed.

Well, the team flunked their "attitude evaluation" then. Doesn't attitude count anymore?
