3 things that Must change next season

[kevin]

Main Thing That Must Change :  Starting 0-2 or 0-3.....and Why do the Bengals start 0-2 or 0-3 ???  Because starters take off all preseason games.  Oh, we are wimpy, we don't want an injury.   So instead they think they can just throw their jock straps on the field and play themselves into shape in regular season.  Every season they start 0-2 or 0-3, the hole is dug, forget play-offs.  

What MUST change is a stronger preseason.  This wimpy approach to preseason is carrying into start of regular season.  The Bengals are never ready and keep starting 0-2 or 0-3.   That kills the play-off chances right there.  Forget who they signed or drafted.  Weak preseason leading to starting 0-2 or 0-3 is killing this franchise.  Bengals Fans will say they don't want Starters in preseason games, but I say it is causing the 0-2 and 0-3 starts.  They could have the best players in NFL, but if they are not ready to start the season, they will keep starting 0-2 or 0-3 in September.

That HAS to change, but my fear is it will NOT change, because Bengals think wimpy preseasons are the way to go.  Losing Septembers keep showing Bengals are Wrong. I will say one thing about Coach Lewis.  He put Focus on being ready to Go in Game One of Regular Season.  Not being ready to go is a Coach Taylor weakness. Someone needs to remind the Mike Brown Family that Paul Brown had his teams ready to go start of regular season, because there was nothing wimpy about a Paul Brown preseason. Same with Forrest Gregg out of The Lombardi school of coaching. Grass drills until you puke was what Gregg brought to Bengals training camp, Gregg saying come the 4th quarter, we will be the team in the best shape from all these grass drills and hard practices.  People forget that the year Sam Wyche went Super Bowl, Paul Brown came down and showed Sam how to run Training Camp not so wimpy.  Paul Brown said Sam needed a guiding hand on that.  Paul Brown making it a tougher camp resulted in Bengals in Super Bowl.  

Wimpy preseason MUST change, or 0-2 or 0-3 starts will continue, knocking Bengals play-off chances away first weeks of season.

What a great take.  '#2 WR Hopkins' has 1 catch on 3 targets for 11 yards in the Chiefs 2 playoff games. 

I hope you dont work for the Bengals FO

Dont be salty; you said he still a #2 WR and comprable to Tee Higgins.

Much like your previous stats, you're just making shit up again. 

I can guarantee that I never said he was comparable to Tee because in this very thread I referred to Tee as a #1 WR multiple times. I did make fun of you choosing a cutoff point, finding out that it didn't prove the point you hoped it proved, and then choosing a different arbitrary cutoff point that helped you better (though still didn't prove the point you hoped).

This is actually kind of sad, dude. You made up stats two different times, made up a logically wrong excuse of why you made up stats, and were just blatantly wrong about 5 or 6 different players.... and now you just can't take the L and let it go.

Saying Hopkins is still a #2 nfl wr is the big L, talk about embarrassing

You said that. And he’s going to be 33 next season.

Thank god you’re not a talent evaluator for the bengals.

You said 4,363 divided by 5 was 545.
Then you made up an excuse and said 2,956 divided by 5 was 545.

You said that while literally on a computer of some sort with a built-in calculator. What an enormous L, super embarrassing.

Thank god you're not a grown ass adult who has at least a mandatory middle school education. Otherwise you might do things like make up a lie about what someone said in the exact same thread where they clear-as-day for anyone to see didn't say that. Nobody could warrant that big of an L, right?

So you are still saying Hopkins will be a viable #2 wr next year at age 33.
