You have to give them enough targets to see if they can produce before you write them off. None of the Core/Malone/Ross players have had  that many targets to determine this.

We shall see what Dalton does on Sunday without AJ Green hogging all the targets and the amazing LaFell mucking up the depth chart.  As others have pointed out, I see Boyd and Mixon/Gio getting almost all the targets, so maybe those 3 will need to get injured before we really see Core/Malone/Ross "earn" their targets.  


tl:dr - If Dalton hain't targeting them, I'm putting that on them.  Dalton hain't no dumb bum.

The bengals are 5-3 and very much are in the playoff picture. Are they one player away from a SB? No. But they might be one player away from winning a game that’s determines if they are in the playoffs or not.

If you don’t understand the importance of making and winning a playoff game for the bengals to get over the mental hurdles for then I’m really confused.

As a team, the most important thing is to put the best team on the field.

If they lose to Baltimore next week and fall to 5-5 it may very well be due to lack of talent around Andy. That feels a lot different than 6-4, we will find out.

It’s a moot point, it’s too late at this point. But if I’m A.J. and bust my ass only for the team to put garbage on the field while I’m out, then why would he re-up?

If the team was 3-5 I would agree, but at 5-3 and very much in control of your own destiny, they should do everything possible to put the best team on the field.
