I'm usually more positive but there are some glaring gaps in football fundamental skills I see which need addressing before the Bengals can win again. Some fundamentals can be offset by talent and game planning but poor tackling, blown coverage, too much cushion given to receivers, dropped passes, and the horrendous offensive line play cannot be overcome by anything.

I don't like to be even more negative but this is going to take more than the return of Vontaze Burfict and Tyler Eifert to perform a complete 180 degree turnaround. These problems are institutional and they will require much soul-searching to rectify.

Marvin Lewis? I'm looking at you.

Come?

If anything we'll beat both Dallas and Miami.
