So maybe people aren't ignoring the fact that we had a bad defense but more realize that we've had more than adequate ones before and have had the same results. We've also been relatively healthy in previous years, and we've hosted a playoff game.
You keep on quoting our defenses regular season ranking. Why? They didn't play well in the playoff games. Period. Andy Dalton put up some decent stats in those years regular seasons also. But then he didn't play well in the playoff game. That's your problem with him. So why bring up that the defense was good in the regular season? It doesnt matter if we had the number 1 ranked defense all 3 of the years you listed above. They didnt show up in the playoff game. Like the whole team.
