- I appreciate the stats you put up and the work it takes to find stuff like that. Looking at them is depressing on several levels.
- The other team will have a shorter time of possession if they are scoring fast and the Bengals are doing their typical grind it out. I can't see that as any sort of indicator of anything. We would have to look at some other info to determine effects of the turn overs.
The team that wins the turnover battle wins the game more often than not. THAT was my point. It's a tough thing to come back from.
I get your point on not hanging my hat on a 5th round QB. However, guys fall for different reasons. AJ McCArron was projected as a 2nd to 3rd rounder. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/aj-mccarron?id=2543497 My point with AJ is that even if his skill set is more similar to AD than not, he's a winner at the highest level in college and has a totally different attitude and personality that I think might be better suited for this team. I am interested in seeing him this preseason and if he shines or if it's Armon Binns like hype they are throwing on him. Either way, I want anyone on the Bengals to succeed so that we can enjoy them as long as possible every season.
The really sad thing is, the Bengals have lost playoff games in every way imaginable. Think about it. The only solid 30 consecutive minutes of playoff football was the 1st half of the Chargers game. :angry:
And i agree with your last line. I'm all for that as well.
