The defense has to find a way to at least get half way up from where it is toward where it was last year, for the Bengals to get to the playoffs, IMO.  At least Guenther seems to be doing whatever he can to fix it.

Offense has been gaining momentum, as they adjust to their handicap on the OL.  Unless Andy had an off day, I feel pretty confident in their ability to put competitive points on the board.  It has to start with the defense stopping the opposition, giving the offense more possessions.
