The Pat's played well and deserved the win, no doubt about it...
The Bengals are in trouble, they have been exposed, they can't stop the run, if you can't stop the run, you are in trouble...
I would like to think if Henry played, they would have scored 2 touchdowns instead of scoring 2 FG's, because he's impossible to cover, he's taller, faster and can jump higher than any corner in the NFL, but who knows if they would have...If the Bengals go up 14-0, maybe it changes the complexion of the game...
They have some injuries and will get back a Line Backer and a Super Bowl MVP in Dexter Jackson, that will help, but probably not enought to make a difference...
Carson is getting sacked alot and looks out of sorts, given his injury, can't say I blame him...
The Bengals only hope is that the Offense kicks in like last year and they keep their Opponents from ramming the ball down their throat, I think they get better, but not enough to make the Playoffs...
