Truly, I am a loss for words. For the first time in the Marvin Lewis era, it’s time to hit the panic button. Like many others, I try to keep my self distracted by keeping an eye on the college football scene and wondering whether Dusty Baker can bring the Reds back to the playoffs.
Luckily, today we play the Jets. It’s a shame we can’t play the Jets a few more times this year. This game comes at a good time. No, I’m not saying we’re going to win. If the Bengals win, well then, a win is a win, and we’ll all feel better tomorrow. If the Bengals lose, at least we know for sure who we can start looking at to draft with one of the first five picks.
It really has gotten that bad this year. But if your still hanging around after a Jets loss, consider yourself a fan. Haven’t you noticed people putting their orange and black away for some happier colors such as scarlet and gray? These folks were around for the peaks, but want to avoid the valleys. I’m sure if you asked them, they couldn’t name more than five Bengals’ players from the Nineties.
For anybody still watching, this is our team. We’ve been through worse times than this. Just think back to those games in the late Nineties or early Two-Thousands. The difference between then and now is that the Bengals have a core of players that can sustain this blow. They will have the ability to get back up and rise to the top.
Mark my word. Maybe not this year, but I’ll keep watching just in case.
That’s all I’ve got for now. WHO DEY!
