Ok WTF was that defense? - J24 - 10-31-2021
Seriously WTF D? How do you give up 80% completion to a rookie QB on his First Start?
As much credit that defense has gotten this season that game plan slash effort was flat out embarrassing.

Thank you. The middle of the field was open all freaking day. I’m old and fat but have completed dump off passes like White did all damn day. Not an adjustment was made. Try clogging up the middle to make White beat you deep or sideline routes. What the hell!!!

They handled our DL for the most part, and their WR's were open all day. All he had to do is deliver the ball and he did.
RE: Ok WTF was that defense? - The American Dream - 10-31-2021
They all had food poisoning or learned thier dog died before the game, only excuses for that kind of performance.

They stunk today for sure, but one bad game doesn't erase how well they've played overall this season. Hopefully, we see a much better performance at home next week against the Brownies.

Why play Prevent all day?????

Yeah, watch us play the same defense we did today.

Mike White is technically not a rookie, but yes, that was just a pathetic defensive effort (outside of Hubbard).
Probably Awuzie’s worst game as a Bengal. There was also some vintage Bengals tackling on display today.

I told my son the same thing. Am I missing something or are we playing deep prevent for a reason? First quarter to the end of the game. SMH

Only thing left to do is try to learn from the mistakes,and get ready for the Cleveland Browns.

That was no Brady/Rodgers we were up against. Yet this defense GAVE him the numbers to think we were.

They picked on our linebacker all game long and we made no adjustments. It's was awful.. every play was a dump of to the flat and Logan Wilson was either late , missed the tackle or like the Jets last touchdown just let the guy go...itwas terrible performance today

This was a preventable mistake. This is a new QB (either way whoever was starting). No different looks. No real pressures. Just plain vanilla Prevent deep zone. And I am willing to bet that the deep ball was this one QB's weakness and we didn't challenge him on it.

Lou seemed incapable of doing anything right. Almost like he was paid off to call the same sh!t all game. It's mind blowing that this happened. As soon as I heard Harlans say it was White's 1st start I told my brother "we're gonna lose".

Or members of the Jersey mafia paid them a visit before the game.
RE: Ok WTF was that defense? - MasonDT70 - 10-31-2021
The D just kept with the time honored tradition of letting no name, backup scrub qbs destroy them. They never stood a chance. As long as baker or keenum start next week they'll be back to normal.
RE: Ok WTF was that defense? - TecmoBengals - 10-31-2021
Zac isn't going to give us any clues in pressers either. He'll talk about players on the field and not coaching shortcomings during the game.

He threw one deep ball to a completely uncovered receiver and missed by ten yards.
RE: Ok WTF was that defense? - michaelsean - 10-31-2021
Well everyone else has a game plan against us I guess, and there isn’t a QB in the NFL who can’t pull it off
RE: Ok WTF was that defense? - thompson19osu - 10-31-2021
It was almost as if the D was told to allow them to win from the get go. The tackling effort was atrocious and obvious from the beginning. Jessie Bates at the goal line in the hole and dove down looking almost as if he was trying to avoid the tackle.
