I put a couple tweets and Facebook post sending out updates about the game, and there was definitely some frustration in the comments. After scoring no points in the first half and just a field goal in the third quarter, that feeling was very justified. Despite the 21-13 victory, the starters, especially on offense, did not perform very well at all.
The offensive production was very reminiscent of the first two games last season. Under Ken Zampese, the then-offensive coordinator, the Bengals did not score a touchdown either game. Andy Dalton looked particularly bad those games, making bad throws all over the field.
