The Bengals only managed a tie against the Panthers on Sunday, so labeling anyone either a winner or a loser would seem to be a misnomer in this game especially. The result was an especial letdown to fans who were hoping to see the Bengals come out and respond in a more desperate fashion following last week’s beating. Bengals players acknowledged the disappointment following the game.
I hate ties in sports. It's like all that for nothing.
