Who's the biggest disappointment at the half way mark?
#33
You don't have it listed in your 15.....but I think it is easy.....remember the word is disappointed....Now you can't throw up names of people you have been insulting for some time now, such as Mike Brown. That would just be these people being consistent in that you don't think much of them.....not really a disappointment......THE DEFENSE IS THE DISAPPOINTMENT......THE ENTIRE DEFENSE....We have became spoiled by having one of the top NFL Defenses these last few years. We came to depend on this defense keeping the score low enough for us to have a chance to win......The Bengals so far have one of the worst defenses in the NFL this year and that is a huge change....Defense wins Championships and our defense was a huge reason for 5 straight play-off seasons. .....Teams have just went through our defense so easy this year, running and passing. In spite of Atkins and Dunlap we are getting no pressure on quarterbacks. ...TV announcers talk of Jones and Sanu gone but maybe they should talk of Nelson, Hall, Hawk and Gilberry being gone...The news says Bengals are close to bringing Gilberry back on the team...They need to do something.....This defense sucks....The top pick CB's show little....Every linebacker looks awful...Jones and Burfict have no focus and get those penalties at the worst of times.....THE DEFENSE IS THE REAL DISAPPOINTMENT.....and we can't even hope to make a second half run unless the DEFENSE goes from one of worst in the NFL back to one of best in the NFL. ......Heck yes, re-sign Gilberry. Maybe we miss him. I like that he can play inside and outside on the line and he gets to the QB and he plays with fire and spirit.......If Coach Lewis has to take over the defense, so be it. Lewis is a great defensive coordinator and maybe he should kick a few D Coaches butts, and some D players butts because we are only one loss out of first place with 4 AFC North games left to catch up....Let Lewis take over the D, and let Zampese go on offense which isn't Lewis strong suit anyway. Lewis knows defense, so he should fix this mess.......ALSO, we have only had 3 home games. London is NOT a home game....We could use THE 12TH MAN of THE JUNGLE in our 4 Home Games with Bills, Eagles, Steelers and Ravens....If we WIN in THE JUNGLE, that is 7 wins right there...we have 1 road win for 8.....winning at Browns would be 9 wins...we at least need 1 more to get at least 10....10-5-1.....Hey, use the bye week to beat Giants on the road......Who knows, maybe even go 11-4-1 on the season.....but it won't happen unless Lewis lights a fire under the D...Maybe bringing Gilberry back and firing one of these D players may just be a wake up call to other players flubbing around on defense.
