BengalSIS Posted December 6, 2015 Report Posted December 6, 2015 Despite more recent losses, the Bengals look good this year. Good luck for the post season. I'll be paying attention. How do they look in terms of mental toughness? I don't like Marvin's post season preparations with the team. Do they have more discipline this year?I haven't watched many games this year as our family had too much going on (mine and Shayne's dad passed away Nov 24 from complications from foot surgery), and we spent most of the previous month in hospital with him.Shayne was blessed to get called to Atlanta the weekend of dad's funeral (they let him fly back to attend), and is at least getting some kicks this year. I think fate stepped in and let him be unemployed for the weeks leading up to dad's passing to allow him to be there with me and by dad's side until the end and help plan and be a part of the service.
VonBlade Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 We've got loads more discipline this year. Losing Gresham has helped tremendously. Sad, but true. We also seem to be better prepared, and far more adaptable. The old "half time adjustments" joke doesn't quite hold water this time around.There are still a few areas of concern. Mainly the right tackle and centre spots, but Vontaze has shored up the centre of the field and if we can stay healthy there is no reason why we can't make a run.Sorry to hear about Shayne's loss. Glad he managed to have enough time to make preparations. In the shadow of such a loss getting a spot to kick is small potatoes. Good to see you around, Sis.
|schotzee| Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 Hi Sis. Sorry about yours and Shaynes loss! From what I have seen, the mental toughness is there much more it seems. I think the Seattle, stealer and Cardinal games showed this even though they lost at Arizona. Happy to see you're still a Bengal fan.
BengalSIS Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Posted December 11, 2015 Thx guys. Good to hear about Bengals and half time adjustments also.As for dad, it's major blow to both of us. But we'll get along like so many that lose loved ones. But Shayne has definitely been focused. Losing dad was one of his worst fears. He has no fear now.
oldschooler Posted December 12, 2015 Report Posted December 12, 2015 Sorry for your loss. I know that feeling all too well. They say time heals everything. But I'm still waiting. Glad to see you're still around. Merry Christmas and best wishes to you and Shayne.
BengalSIS Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Posted January 12, 2016 Did discipline do it this year again? I missed the game, but the news I read seems to indicate a lack of emotion control.
