Sled and I agreeing on a lot lately.  I agree with this statement as well.  The Bengals were just as rocked as the Bills by why happened on the field last Monday.  I'd imagine it would give them a big boost to see Hamlin doing well and smiling. 

There seems to be this thought that guys can't play their best game unless they're angry and wanting to punish someone on the field.  I don't believe that's actually true, though.  Sure, the energy helps because it's a long game and motivation of any kind is good.  But motivation comes in many forms.  And focus and playing with focus is more important than playing because you hate the guts of the guy across from you.  They can be competitive, play hard and win while being happy about Hamlin and liking the Bills.
