[THE PISTONS]

Our defense was awful and logic says our offense wouldn't be able to keep up with that all year long. 

Asking your offense to hang 30+ every week to even be competitive isn't a recipe for success. 

Surely you agree, but I think you're just looking for an argument.

Yeah people act like we started 4-1 then Eifert, Green, and Dalton all got hurt in Game 6. The reality is:

Bengals were 5-6 with Dalton and 5-4 with AJ Green.

Week 3 they allowed 31 points, Week 4 they allowed 36 points. Week 7 we have up 45 points. Week 8 34 points. Week 9 51 points.

The defense was relatively healthy and pretty historically bad.

Then once Dalton and Green got hurt and we couldn't move the ball on offense...the defense started giving up less points.

Really hard to look at all of that and say this would have been a 10-11 win team.
