Funny that the people who are claiming the Bengals stink based on just one game are the exact same ones who claimed that we could not claim they were great based on the previous 8 wins.
So how important is one game? Is it enough to show that a team is terrible? If so is one good game enough to prove that they are great?

Fred the Elephant is still in the room even if you choose to ignore it. It's not so much that we lost, all but the most super homers knew we weren't going undefeated. It's how and when we lost.
Same old same old ! Prime Time, under the lights, National TV and we lay another giant egg. We didn't just get beat, we looked like hammered dog doo doing it. Stupid penalties, waaayyy to many dropped balls, Dalton throwing deep passes 10 feet out of bounds. Elite.ish WR fumbling just when we looked like we started trying to find some heart.
6 stinking points !!
Got beat by a QB with 3 games or whatever in the last four years, front four got zero pressure on 95% of pass plays. One could go on and on.
Does this mean the team stinks ?? NO But it does make one wonder if it's not really going to turn into - here we go again, same old song again.
I sure hope not and don't think they will pull another gigantic flop. This coming Sunday night we'll find out what this team really has in it's heart.

See what I mean.
For so long I have heard that regular season games don't matter, but now it appears that all our questions will be answered in the 10th game of the regular season.
I guess wins are meaningless but losses answer all questions.

I don't feel too bad about the loss because the game was still there to be won. It wasn't like we became a bad team. Just one of those things. Mistakes, penalties, and turnovers cost us...and.. throw in a great catch by the other team's receiver also.
