In a meaningless game of a 4-7 team playing an 0-11 team in front of a stadium with more empty seats than people in seats, The Bengals won for the first time in almost 365 days. I will add the 4-7 team came in playing good ball, so the win was a good effort by the 0-11 team. I will also add the 0-11 teams defense has played better last few weeks as compared to awful most of season. I will also add the 0-11 stopped benching and blaming their franchise quarterback of 9 seasons, and he helped get the win.
So 1 win is nothing to get all excited about. It's good for the team and fans that the long losing streak that goes back to Marvin and Hue losing games last season is over. It is good that this new coach got his first NFL win, although it took too long and on that he would agree. The real trick now is to string 2 wins together. Don't make it go years before you have back to back wins.
So my avatar changes from paper bag on head to a babies 1st birthday. Mood changes from TIRED of all this mess to Go. Go get win 2 at Cleveland. I won't even look past that. The fans of tank for the draft are not true football. If teams ever did lose on purpose, that is of the 1919 Black Sox mode and the NFL should come down with great wrath on ownership and players involved. True sports is you now have 1 win, go for 2. As Bill Russell of basketball fame often said, you try to finish strong to take that into the next game, because if you quit, that carries into the next game, or next season. So that would mean you do not wait for 2020. You try to get this team on the right track the end of season. The Defense has improved last 3 games. The Offense was good enough to win today. Now do it again next week. Go for 2 and then go for 3 or 4 or 5 wins this season. Let THAT carry into 2020, not quitting and tanking which brings true shams and dishonor.
So I'm not getting all excited about 1 win in close to 365 days, don't get me wrong. I'm still not that excited about this team. I am saying GO FOR 2 next week. Try to win all or almost all the games left this season. Have players STEP UP on Defense and Offense and Coaching and show they deserve to be kept in February and March. Knowing the 0-16 rally cry from some fans was the worst sports goal ever. So today makes 1 win, now go for 2.
