Are there any optimists left?

We have Hart/Redmond/Hopkins/Price starting now...who were all starters for chunks last year and Mixon led the AFC in rushing. Yes...Glenn is out, but he was a poor run blocker.

Something doesn't add up.

You know my fall back position. They made a conscious decision at some point to go ahead and tank the season and go for top draft picks. I don't think it was decided before the season, but somewhere along the line the decision was made and hopefully Finley doesn't throw a wrench in it and go and win 8 games or whatever. 
I hope Finley turns out to be very good, but not so good this year to win games, just good enough to show he CAN win games with a great offensive line in front of him....assuming the Bengals are even remotely capable of obtaining that offensive line. Kind of like playing a game where you hold all the cards towards the end then overwhelm your opponent when they feel confident with their remaining shit cards.  No wait..This is the Bengals. They could loose at go fish with a big mirror right behind their opponent.
