Tampa had 500 yards offense today, Brees hasn't been sacked in three weeks, has had 3 other games this season with over 80% completion rate, has won 8 straight games, and has perhaps the top offensive line in the NFL with Two elite RBs, The Steelers just put up over 50 points against the panthers, and the Chiefs have a QB who is having a season that is comparable to only Tom Brady's 2007 season and Peyton Manning 2013 season. It's not like these teams are not just playing well against us there doing it against the whole NFL.
2.) Really three starters wouldn't make a difference to a team. Especially considering that 2 of those guys have been absent for the last 4 games and another was just comming off a suspension.
The first 5 games of the year the Bengals averaged 7 YPPA ; while during the last 4 the Bengals have given up 9.4 YPPA. You're telling me that those guys don't make a difference especially Dennard and Vigil who played a ton in those games.
I am not going to dispute that our defense has been bad this season or that it is on a record pace. however what I will acknowledge that know else will is that having major injuries and playing Elite offenses at the same time have been attributing factors to the lack of success.
Again, it. Doesn’t. Matter.
Are you happy just being mediocre? These are the same teams we’d be playing for championships....are you fine getting a 6 seed and then getting punked in the playoffs again?
