I agree that the playoffs are all that matters, but the effort we saw tonight was nothing like any of the playoff losses. Dalton, Gio, Eifert, Atkins and many others balled out tonight. It was a slim loss to a great team on the road. If they play like this they can beat anyone. Especially in Cincy.

I was so pissed when I realized it was play action. A run would've netted an easy first down. Smh.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
