LaFell had more opportunity, but didn't look great doing it. There's no shortage of guys who can catch 55ish percent of their targets as second or third receiver.

I'm not knocking LaFell, I was one of his biggest cheerleaders when I thought he was a stopgap while we tried to get a playoff win. But we aren't winning any playoffs as we are, so there's not a big reason to keep playing him. better to use that time on guys who need to develop.

C'mon, Benton, don't you love when we run an end-around to Lafell for....one yard.

Of when we throw a bubble screen to Lafell for...one yard.  

That is exciting stuff.  The team really seems to rally around that kind of high-performance offense where you continue to roll out average-at-best guys and let the young talent just rot on the bench.  That's probably why folks are standing in line to buy season tickets, and why the NFL loves the Bengals so much.  They play such a high-powered exciting game of football.
