I'm not really that upset that our 3rd and 4th string players were manhandled. It occured to me as I was watching the second half of the game that the Bengals were running an incredibly vanilla offense. Jacksonville on the other hand were playing some second stringers and throwing exotic blitzes left and right. They were trying to win that game.
The Bengals still have one of the deepest rosters. This game doesn't change that. Look at last year's 3rd preseason game against Tampa Bay. They stomped us. Were they the better team? Hell no. They just played it like an actual game.
