Excellent read from Brennan on Lewis

The playoff loss to San Diego really sticks out, in my mind as well.  We should have totally outmatched them and dominated.  The second loss to the Texans reeked of something not right, as well.  Easily catchable balls dropped left and right, a general lack of effort and enthusiasm.

I guess those same parallels can be drawn in most all of the big time games the Bengals have lost under Lewis' tenure.  Weather it be Monday Night, Sunday Night, Thursday Night, or even just hyped up showdowns with the Steelers, the team never seems ready to go.  Save for the playoff meltdown game in '16.
