Sorry, I guess I misread the bent of that post. [Reply]

I've always thought the warm weather team thing was strange, because it's not like they're all from Miami or have even played there long.. just like players in Buffalo or wherever may not actually live in Buffalo and don't necessarily play in far more frigid games per year.
Yet, I was in SoCal for all of a month and the 60⁰ walks to the gym have started feeling colder than 60⁰ has ever felt, after just a few weeks of it being around 70-72 almost 24/7. :-)
Granted, if they think 55⁰ sucks in pads and while constantly moving around... seems extreme. They should have used it as a chance to acclimate a bit before going to Buffalo. [Reply]

The Bengals messed up scoring opportunities also. The biggest difference in the game was in the trenches. They CAN get pressure with their front 4 and we cant. Their OL can stop our pass rush, and ours cant stop theirs, in particular our Tackles. Unless we improve the pass rush with the down 4, and get better play from BOTH our Offensive Tackles, we'll have a hard time with The Natti, no matter where we play them.
The silver lining in the last Cincinnati game is our DL can only play better because they were as bad as you can be. [Reply]
