Bengals the most upbeat of NFL's winless teams























I read an article about the Cincinnati Bengals and their 0-3 start. It was written by Joe Kay, an AP sports writer for Fox News. The point that the article is trying to get across is that the Bengals are not out of their season just yet. Chad Johnson(wide receiver for the Bengals) said, " A lot of positives, and there was couple missed assignments across the board, we look good on film." That was after the loss against the previous seasons Superbowl Champions, the New York Giants. The changes that need to be made in the next week is their offensive line needs to man up. They gave up just 17 sacks in last years season alone. This season they have let Carson Palmer their quarterback get sacked 9 times in 3 games. Carson broke his nose in the preseason this season, and it had bleed after 2 games in the season, because of the beating his is getting. Bobbie Williams(offensive guard for the Bengals) says, "It kind of makes me feel like I'm not doing my job." Joe Kay says that this coming weekends game against the Browns is going to be the most important this season. Because the Browns and the Bengals are tied for last in the AFC North division. The team that looses is going to be in a lot of trouble for the rest of the season, the team that wins is on root for a decent season. Joe Kay mentions that the Bengals may still look good on film after their game against the Browns but if they don't win the game it will then be a long season. Last time the Bengals started 0-4 was in 2002 when they went 0-7 and then 2-14 for the season. That is when Dick LeBeau was the Bengals head coach. After that season he was fired, that means Marvin Lewis(Bengals head coach now) better get his team together or he may be next.
