NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

What I got from last night was that the Bengals still aren't a team that can do any damage in the playoffs and hand in hand with that is Dalton's inability to remain a consistent and successful quarterback worthy of taking a team deep into the playoffs.

They had opportunities and they also gave Miami a lot of opportunities, but bottom line is that a game like that is expected to be won by any Super Bowl contending team.
So, what about the previous weeks where they beat the Packers, Patriots, Lions? Dalton was awful, and his inconsistency continued, but making blanket statements like this based upon a road game on a short week is silly. I don't even believe myself that this team is capable of a deep run at the moment, but that logic just doesn't sit with me. Especially in November. 
 
The loss last night is waaayyy less of an indicator of the Bengals' playoff odds than the fact that they just lost their best player for the season..

I remember when him and Dez were at Oklahoma State they said Blackmon was supposed to be the good guy.
 
Justin Blackmon of the Jacksonville Jaguars has been suspended indefinitely without pay for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.

Blackmon’s suspension begins immediately. He will be eligible to apply for reinstatement prior to the start of the 2014 season.
 
So, where are all the people who said Blackmon was Dez without the off the field problems? And that he'd be better? LOL
