In the playoffs...the other team will ALWAYS be trying hard. When that happens, which seems to be Laphams excuse for the KC game...the Bengals don't seem to be able to match that intensity.
Exactly. Some people seem to dismiss everything they see in the preaseason because "it's preseason".
While the final score itself doesn't matter at all, some of the individual performances can indicate strengths/weaknesses for the regular season. THAT is what people like you and I worry about.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
