1. Win in September. Why are we resting players that aren't ready to start? Win in September and we'd be 10-6 right now and likely backing our way into the playoffs.
2. Embrace the suck. Bengals have always been a build-from-the-outside-in team. This has set them up to be bullied by other teams who are tougher. Close low scoring affairs are not our friend. The refs can't be depended to bail out the team. Score early and keep your foot on the gas pedal.
3. Bend and DON'T break. I hate this style of defense(part of embracing the suck), but it is what it is. Not breaking requires good tackling and a willingness to pass interference and take a few defenseless receiver penalties. Not injuring people, but sometimes make it hurt.
