Let that number sink in, because it’s the amount of points the Bengals have allowed per game on average in 2018. That’s awful and Cincinnati is one of the worst scoring defenses in the league. Now sure, playing Carolina and Atlanta can skew the scoring defense statistic because those teams can score a ridiculous amount of points but come on!
Yes, Cincinnati is 3-1 and for that I’m glad, especially with Vontaze Burfict out. But this defense, um, it’s terrible. Coverage on the back end is loose, the linebackers are nowhere to be found, and even the defensive line gets gashed a lot.
This defense may well be a work in progress but I wonder what Teryl Austin has in mind.
Nah.. I disagree, our defense is good, we wouldn't be 3 - 1 if we had the defense we have now. Definitely not one to brag about, but what you probably didnt notice, eventhough we give up lots of 3rd downs and lots of points per game, they always seem to put a stop when it counts and have come up clutch to get us a win. Dre does need replacing though.
