Gee whiz, do you remember Andy Dalton in that first preseason game versus Detroit? I do, and I think that Joe did a little better. In fact, he grew as the game wore on. He put the team on his back, carried them to the 3 yard line, threw what should have been the game winning ball, only to get let down by circumstance.
Sure, he made plenty of rookie mistakes. He did atone, and take the team under his control. He can't control some things, like WR/DB hand fighting, how an official is going to view a play, etc. When it came down to the wire, Joe was electric. I haven't been that enthused as I was watching that drive, since the opening of the '05 playoff game, before seeing Palmer writhing on the ground. Joe is a winner, he's here to do great things.
Is this a joke? I was nice, very nice and very fair. Anyone thinking my original post was dogging him needs to grow a pair.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
