Trenches.
No rush offense and zero interior DL depth.

The D wasn't effective the first few games. Give them time to click. They are getting better each game. They were gassed today and honestly think they are shifting gears. Call me crazy, but it is what I feel.

I don't wanna blow it up but some changes SHOULD be made. It's too late at this point, but this off-season, if I'm the Bengals I am stripping Pollack of his "Running game coordinator" role if not flat out replacing him. I am then gifting my new run game coordinator (and possible offensive line coach) his pick of RB with a pick in the first two rounds of the draft (the OSU homer in me REALLY wants Trayveon Henderson, and if it takes a first round pick to get him, so be it. Goodbye Head-Cheerleader Mixon!) Yeah, yeah I know..ya don't spend high picks or big cash for RBs yada yada. Don't care, still want a good RB taken high.
I would also look into improving the coaching on the defensive line. We have some quality players there. Yet, aside from Blackout Trey, they have little to no pass rush. Why?!

It doesn’t even take that much. They usually start going off the rails after a couple 1st downs.

I'm still rolling with we can be like the 2011 NY Giants. We'll go 9-8, make the playoffs, get hot, and win the Super Bowl.

Depends on what you are trying to take away from it.
For anyone looking to see who has not taken their meds, this thread is very informative.

If you have been doing this, you are far more disturbed than I thought

What? Stupid people that dont know ball? Lol, we have the same ones every game that spew nonsense immediately in the 1st Qtr. I understand a couple, the ones that make comments like they know ball are the ones that crack me up.

Definitely. And let's be fair, the Bengals have generally played their better ball at the important points of the past two seasons. The hope is we'll do the same here too.
A team who beats the Niners and Bills somewhat convincingly in back to back weeks, is not a bad team overnight. Today was shockingly bad, but I wouldn't bet against these Bengals being in the mix, until they aren't. Today was ironically a good example of that... we had no business not losing today's game by about 21 points, and yet we would've won it without that Boyd drop. Getting into the dance is all that matters, not fussed if it's via a Division crown or not. I'd be surprised if we're out of it before Week 18.

C'mon Sled, you've been on this board long enough to know that yes, people ARE just that stupid. Especially on a Sunday evening after a tough loss.
It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so damn sad.

Just got back from the game.
My take is that this team game planned for a Texans team that was second or dead last in the league in rushing. They showed no respect for the run game, and Houston happily ran it down their throats.
I'm unsure is the coverage issues are the secondary or the pass rush not getting home. I lean pass rush, as Stroud had an eternity on some of those deep 3rd down conversions, but the safeties are an issue.
Hill has the potential to be great, but he's not what Bates was in his current state. People liked to badmouth Bates due to the contract shenanigans, but he was probably the best in the league playing center field in single high. I was worried about how they'd replace him, and I'm not overly surprised at the drop-off.
