The offense over the first 8 games was top 10 in the league.
After we lost Chris Henry in week 8 the team was crap. We had no receiving threats at RB or TE, and only one WR who could even get open against single coverage. Opposing defenses bracketed Ochocinco and our passing game became the worst in the league.
We beat the Steelers without scoring an offensive TD in game #9 and after that we did not beat a single team better than 5-11. In fact we struggled to even beat some of those bad teams.
Some of my greatest Bengal memories are from that year, but the team was just smoke and mirrors after week 8.
