Bengals Not Focused On Winning

I also know plenty of teams that may practice "hard" but still suck in real games because they just aren't that good.

My high school hockey team was one of them lol.

For the record though, I'm not saying the team isn't practicing hard.
I'm just saying some people (e.g. Allen Iverson) don't need to practice hard always and can still show up fine in real games.

And btw, I am not sure if you interpreted my words incorrectly when I said the Bengals are not the latter, but I literally said in the post you replied to that the Bengals are not the kind of team that can go play well on game days without practice...
