We went on to punt the rest of the game. There was the argument it left him ill prepared to face Denvers number 1 defense. That's on Hue, not the offense.

They also made the argument that we would have lost that game if it wasn't for the 9ers. The blocked field goal helped, but a playoff team would have capitalized on the onside kick blunder. The argument was we can't get in the habit of letting up after scoring 24 points. Championship teams just don't do that. Which I've argued before in the past.

How about NE .. did you see them at home against a backup QB in 2nd half.. 24-3 at half.. final was 33 to 16, they sure did not play like Championship team.. I just don;t buy what you are selling.  The Bengals have been good at not slipping and losing to sub par teams over the last 5 years.. really in the NFL that is a usually what makes or breaks a team making the playoffs, beat the teams you should beat especially on the road, split with the tough teams and you are normally going to make the playoffs and battle for division and championships . I can point out numerous good teams that over the last 5 years have had many more bad losses than Cincinnati (Pittsburgh comes to mind) Yes we are no New England Patriots in the AFC but who is...  It is rare that they Bengals blow leads especially in the 4th quarter..
