Nugent will cost us at least 1 game this year

I'm not going to post again those stats in this same thread...I am going to say that some of you are far too concerned about preseason football. ...As long as he gets the off season rust off and returns to his normal, accurate self in time for The Jets game is all I care about......A lot of Bengal starters looked pretty rusty and sloppy in preseason game 2. I'm not one bit surprised. I have seen the Bengals much worse in Preseason Game 2 before. The cut back in training camps and practices from what the NFL use to have also adds to it. ....Just as long as they are ready to go to New York in 3 weeks, that is all I care about. It would be nice to come out of New York with a win. We have a rough schedule considering we lose a home game this year. 8 on road, 7 at home, 1 in London England which to me is a neutral site, not a home game. All I care about is getting out of New York with any kind of win at all. The Bengals have not played well in New York for most of their franchise history. It would be a nice win. If I was worried about Preseason Game 2, I would have to worry about the play of the majority of the team, but I know this is why they have practices and preseason games.

Well if all you are concerned about is the regular season then you should be concerned that Nuge has finished 24th or worse in FG% in the last 3 years and has only been in the top 20 once in his Bengal career.

The upside is: I've heard a kicker's 12th year is where he finally puts it all together.
