Brisett is a good veteran QB. They have a capable defense and came up with a good game plan to take advantage of our biggest weakness (stopping the run).
Yes we completely gave this game away, but it's not like the Pats are some pee wee football team.
It may be that the Bengals players and coaches thought the Pats were bottom of the league and playing them at home was a surefire recipe for a win and to get ready for the season. Oddsmakers gave the Patriots a 0.3% chance of winning a super bowl, while the Bengals had a 7.1% odds. It looked like a mismatch in favor of the Bengals.
