When I watched the last two games a second time, I noticed that on several occasions, if a play failed, the line had little, or nothing to do with it. Of course the line has their share of failures -- if every offensive line in the NFL was perfect, first downs and touchdowns would be at record highs. And the Bengals offensive line isn't near perfection. However, protection isn't contribut...

A win shouldn't ever be boring, preseason or not. Second of all, preseason isn't about thrilling chucking bombs to wide receivers making one-handed diving catches; it's mostly coaches learning their personnel in game conditions. Such as how far can Chad Ochocinco kick the football on kickoff? Finally, while the game wasn't a dramatic high-scoring affair...
