So many on here were so caught up in all the "hype" over players like Ross, Malone, and Mixon. I've seen plenty of daydreamers posting about how John Ross and Malone were going to "take the top off of defenses". Really? They didn't even suit up today. And then the Joe Mixon fans with how he was going to cure all that was wrong with our rushing attack. Really? 9 yards on 8 carries. Nice work, Joe. Many of those same daydreamers vehemently defended the "progress" of the likes of Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher. How did they do today?
I made my negative thoughts public, in a post a couple days back. Some were surprised. Listen up folks, I've been watching the Bengals since I was 7. That was 41 years ago. I've seen many Bengals teams, gotten excited over fools gold a few times, and rooted with all my heart in years that I was convinced that they were the real deal.
This ain't one of those years...
Regarding Mixon, this is the NFL.... the line has to open holes for any back, he can't just create a hole each time by running over guys in the NFL like they're 90 pound girls.
