CHAD MAKES MOST SENSE
AFTER WEEK 1 DEBACLE
===LUDWIG AT LARGE salutes Bengals wide receiver Chad Ocho Cinco (nee Johnson) for making the most sense in explaining the team’s rat performance at Baltimore.===
IN CHAD’S WORDS:
We’re 0 and 1. We’ll be fine. It’s not a sprint. It’s a marathon.
People keep forgetting who the hell we just played, man. We don’t have to deal with that every week. If last week was a game of chess, that would be the hardest it gets. So everything gets easier until we get to them again.
And now that we’ve seen what they’re doing, the chess match gets a little bit easier for us because now we know how to play against ‘em.
What the Ravens threw at us was completely different from everything we’ve seen the past seven years. It’s like they’ve never been able to figure us out, and all of a sudden, BOOM!, year eight, they got it. You feeling me where I’m coming from?
So now we make our adjustments and it won’t be the same next time. People just have to understand that.

So, what Chad’s saying is in week 13, when both teams are hopelessly out of contention, the Bengals will make the necessary adjustments to be less confused in the rematch?By JJWON

I see better than I hear Chad. If what was said is true in that everything will be getting easier, than are we to expect a playoff victory? Fool me once shame on you, fool me 17 times, well shame on me again…By Troy
