Let's go ahead and get started.
We did some things well, the score doesn't indicate it. We have to keep running the bawl, get off the field on 3rd downs. We need to convert 3rd downs. We need to convert 2nd downs. We need to convert 1st downs. *giggle for no reason* We need to convert 4th downs. If there were 5th downs, we should try to convert those too, and so forth. I thought we had a good TD early on in the game. We were still in it. We've got to do better in all 3 phases.

Well, Ross did OK. Not good, but scored so OK. I'm surprised we didn't see more Erickson in the mix. Mixon did a fine job against the #1 run defense in the league. We are close if they figure it out.
You cannot begin to justify continuing to employ a DC that has his unit giving up 500+ yards in each of the previous three games. This wouldn't fly at some high schools, let alone the NFL.

But hey, it's the Bengals so why the f*ck knows.
And 480+ yards four weeks in a row. Just embarrassing.
The offense didn't exactly earn their paychecks today either.

Agreed fire him ASAP, Micheal Johnson and Non tackling Shawn Williams can go with him. OH and Marvin he can go too he flat out cant coach.
If the offense didn't suck as bad as they did today, the defense would not have given up more than 500 yards.
Not defending the D, they are a dumpster fire. But after the first drive, the offense did nothing until Driskel's drive at the end, giving the ball right back to the Saints each of those drives.

Seriously, what the hell? NINE straight possessions! We went 3 and out like 6 or 7 times in a row a few years ago.

And there's got to be a worse stat: yards per game, since we were on track to give up most yards in NFL history - it couldn't have gotten better since I last saw the stat 2 or 3 games ago.
AJ Green needs to leave this dumpster fire, he needs to pull a LeBron.

Would've certainly helped if the offense had shown up...but they showed up against the Falcons and Bucs and the defense still gave up 495 and 576 yards. So, even if the offense had a solid effort today, I'm not sure it would have changed the Saints yardage total all that much...if any. That's just how bad this defense is unfortunately.

True enough. Defense is horrific though, that can not be argued.
