No, I was talking about the Seattle game, game 1 of Taylor's first season. It was Ross' career game, but the Bengals came up short after completely outplaying the Seahawks. At the end of that season it was explained, on this board, how that loss set the tone and a win that day could have led to the a playoff appearance. It was one of those, "we're really winners" type of threads.

 

I had forgotten about the Chargers game last season. You are correct, that was used as an excuse last season. It was a recycling of the same excuse from the season before.

I guess since it worked once as an excuse it was successful enough to bring back to explain the 2020 season failure.

I'm wondering if we'll hear it again later this year if the Bengals lose to the Vikings this weekend.
