Lessons from Bears loss to Bengals, good or bad, impossible to sort out

Upon reviews, bad games and performances are rarely as bad as they seemed at the time. And the good ones are likewise seldom as good as they were on first impression.

Apart from isolated individual good plays, it is difficult to envision mitigating details showing up on film that didn’t show up on the field of Paul Brown Stadium Saturday night.
