Offense: Interior line play. I may not be the biggest fan of Zampese, but the way the offensive line is playing in the interior in inexcuseable. Getting pushed back with 3 to 4 man rushes. Also getting disengaged too easily in some spots. There's been lanes but if you don't stay engaged on your man, the holes clog up and nothing happens. It seems to be communication errors as well. Especially in the 1st game.
Defense: Pass rush. Sure, some can bring up the run defense, but the defense has been on the field 4th most in the NFL so far. Gone against Forte and Williams but still have given up 0 TDs to the rushing attack. The pass rush, however, only has 2 sacks this entire season. Ranking them 24 with Cleveland, Indy, Oakland, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and NYG. Only 2 teams have less sacks than the Bengals. The defensive line struggled to get Fitz on the ground and struggled mightily to get Ben on the ground. If they actually get Ben down, that game has a different outcome, but they struggled to get him down and allowed him to find one on one coverage deep down the field (look at the Coates long pass over Dennard).
