Bengals Prez: Season A 'Massive Disappointment'
2nd December, 2008 - 5:00 pm
Cincinnati Enquirer - Bengals' president Mike Brown called the team's season a "massive disappointment" during an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer on Monday.

Brown characterized the season as a, "massive disappointment. We feel it. We're unhappy down here. ... We're in the morass and just have to work through it."

He placed a majority of the blame on the team's numerous injuries.

"It is hard to have success in this league without your key players. We?re playing with literally less than half of the people we thought would be our starters. ... We lost Carson Palmer, who is our linchpin player. We lost our best defensive player before the season started, (linebacker) Odell Thurman.

"The linebacker corps we thought that we would be playing with was (Keith) Rivers, Thurman and (David) Pollack. They are all gone, two for good.

"When you have that kind of erosion on your football team, it is hard to be successful. We have not managed to overcome it." [READ]
