AFC North football is about hard fought, close games - not about sloppy garbage football. Sloppy garbage football is what the offense and Hugh produced for much of the game. In spite of all that the defense kept us in it, which was tremendous.
They made the plays they had to in the 4th Quarter which is the sign of a good team, but I would have preferred to see them come out and play a clean game after 2-weeks of rest.
We all would prefer perfection every time out.
But, I am very optimistic as we are undefeated with lots of room for improvement. I am hopeful we are peaking come January versus limping so I have no concern we played poorly (offense) most of the game because in the end they fought and clawed and won which is very hard to do against a team backed into a corner in front of their home and hostile crowd.
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.
