I love the energy his team is playing with right now. If you think who is NOT playing with energy here, it is mostly the old guard and I think the rest of them will be swept away this offseason.
Guys, I am going to say something that won't be very popular on here:
If the Bengals were getting ANY production from Dunlap, Atkins, Green, and Ross, this team would have been at the very least 5-4. They didn't. This is the NFL and when you are having 10 and sometimes 9 players going against 11, you will lose. Sure the Bengals have had injuries, so has every team. I won't use that excuse. I don't put that as much on the coaches as I do those players. They will all likely be gone and if they can have another draft like this year (I mean, when was the last time we had the first six players drafted all making significant contributions?) they will fill those holes with players that want to win and the team will be a contender. I honestly believe that.
Miami got the chance to start clean and got rid of a lot of wasted money talent, collected picks, nailed there draft, and are reaping the rewards. the Bengals jumped in with both feet in FA, but they didn't totally clean house. That has to come next.
I am embarrassed that any Bengal fan would claim that A.J. Green and Geno Atkins do not want to win.
They were key parts of the most consistent winning team in Bengal history and now they are considered lazy sandbaggers who are holding back "Taylor's guys".
