I'm already ready to write this season off. Shit man.
Calm down. The Bengals went 10-5-1 in 2014 with the following problems:
- No Tyler Eifert at all
- No Marvin Jones at all
- No Michael Johnson at all
- Burfict missed 11 games
- Atkins was a shell of himself (3 sacks)
- Maualuga missed 4 games
- AJ Green missed 4 games
Dalton turned in some really good games that year while playing with a receiver group that was headlined by Sanu, Gresh and Greg Little for pete's sake. Knock on wood, but 2016 can't possibly be as bad as 2014, and this team STILL got it done with Hill/Bernard, some timely good games from Dalton, and the defense bent (22nd in yards) but didn't completely break (12th in points allowed).
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
