Lap's reasoning for the dismal performance on D vs KC echoes statements made by the Cincinnati Organization for years.
"KC was embarrassed by the 49ers, KC lost upfront to the 49ers... so naturally that is why KC came out and dominated the Bengals upfront. Oh hey, by domino logic, the Bengals should do the same next week to their opponent because they were embarrassed! The parallels are astounding!!"
What is with this domino logic? Why can't the Bengals just perform without needing motivation from the previous week?
How often do we discuss Marvin's record 'after a loss'?
Why does it matter? Team should perform no matter what happened last week.
I understand this is just the rationale that we use to comprehend losing and to give us motivation moving forward, but to me, it happens far too often for this team.
Perhaps these wake up games are just what the doctor ordered.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
