I dont think the players are buying in, or they would be playing harder. They came out in the 2nd half already looking gassed and defeated. There is no sense of urgency. What worries me the most is instead of getting better every game, we're getting worse. A sign he's losing the team, imo. I will give them a chance to find a few competent blockers and LBs but dang.

I don't get it.  The team came out against Seattle playing fast, crisp, with energy.  The last few games, it is like they are either not in condition or the players are confused and over think plays.  This team is playing in slo-mo.  I do not see good tackling technique.  I see miscommunication.  I see Pre-Snap penalties.  They feel ready to play but appear not ready.  I thought they simplified the defense to play fast.  Yet, a team runs Jet sweeps and the defense looks lost on back-to-back plays.  

In the NFL, if a team Cannot run the ball or stop the run, the team is in trouble.  Mixon was the AFC leading rusher.  Take away Boling, Redmond, and Glen, and replace Price with Hopkins and you have this...I get it with regard to the O-line.  It needs fixed.  but the other phases should at least resemble an NFL team.  Bengals played tough against the Bills and Seattle.  Not so tough against 49ers or Steelers.  Monday night game, the team just looked slow.
