I tip my hat to the squad for being able to play in that mind-numbing noise. It was very clear to me that the noise had to be an issue at times, or atleast a huge distraction that affected the finish on some plays.

My Pops and I were staring at the ball midflight from Dalton to AJ with just over 3 minutes to play and AJ was leaping for the ball but it sailed just barely out of his grasp. Like AJ said, he and Dalton need to go tune up their routes so they are so precise, that despite the intensity of the situation, they nail it. All the players on the team need to do the same thing within their position and units. Hard work this offseason will win your next season, believe it.

I think the team was completely awesome this year for coming back from a rough start to the season. I appreciate that, you helped make my football year very fun at times and it gave me a lift at times that I really needed. Thank you Bengals – each and every Player and Coach.

How about just zoning in on a great off-season of sensational workouts and the development of some more ‘chip on the shoulder and ‘tude. Some team in the AFC North has to take on the ‘Relentless, Annoying and Tough’ reputation next year – why not the Bengals? Who Dey!
