I went back to look at how bad our O was and came away learning 2 interesting facts that surprised me.
We had 10+ min TOP advantage. And we got 9 more 1st downs than the Bengals.
I was more frustrated immediately following the game, but after some time to reflect, I feel better about our team.
It really was a couple of penalties that killed momentum. A couple bad plays/throws by individuals. And WTF play calls that put us in bad positions to succeed.
Ive come away thinking all of this stuff is fixable. The only question imho is Ben. Can he make better/smarter/quicker decisions? Can he limit how much he’s holding us back right now?
The hope I have os Ben is building up the drama for an amazing come back. I think as the season progresses and the young players improve and the coaching improves, I think he could be set up for success down the stretch this season.
