Heartbreaker

The Bengals 3 min drive to score the "winning touchdown" was inspirational. Brandon Stokely's lucky grab was heartbreaking. But there is more to be taken from this game. The Bengals offense is more dangerous than the scoreboard suggested when the score read final. They were able to move the ball when they needed to. What does this suggest? It suggests that the Bengals need to understand their offense is most damaging when it isn't predictable, when they are in MUST win situations. They need to stop being conservative. What needs to be recognized in this game was the defense. They allowed 6 REAL points. That is something worth noting, and even including the bullshit touchdown, allowing 12 total points is impressive enough. Now its just time for the offense to stop playing not to lose, and its time to start playing to win.
