This defense flashed a few times, but the lack of depth was the true demise.
Lou needs to reevaluate a lot of things tho... we were playing 10 yards back from the receivers on a 3rd and 2 at one point yesterday and that’s unacceptable. We fear speed badly for some reason.
Look who the backs were.... Sims and Davis. Both could barely be considered practice squad guys.

Great another season where TJ Watt had more sacks then this
Entire defense.
RE: Lou Staying For 2021 - J24 - 01-05-2021
The Defense got worse as the season went on after a solid start to it. Yes there were injuries but there are always going to be injuries. (Look at the 2013 defense they lost their two best players in Hall and Atkins and still finished in the top 3). Then when you add the treatment of Geno & Dunlap it makes it hard for me to understand how the organization would back Taylor keeping Lou.
The Defense finished dead last in sacks, sack yards, and TFLs this season.

Was it just a couple months ago that the Bengals made a tweet with the words "No Excuses!" or did I imagine that?
So far today Mike Brown has used the "Injuries excuse" and some of the posters here are using the same excuse. I've seen teams like New England and Pittsburgh in years past play with 2nd and 3rd stringers and still have winning seasons.
No Excuses indeed.

So goes the lost decade part deux. We've read this script before and know how it ends. New cast, different crew, younger audience. But at the end the Titanic still sinks.
I appreciate those on the board who are still playing a tune.
But no miracle, nothing good, no fairytale ending is coming out of any of this. We all know how it will end.

And this scrub was offered a futures contract.
What in the world could they have seen from him to think, hey there is some talent there to coach up....

What is wrong with you? I have never seen anyone so thrilled about losing. And we are no where close to a "decade" of losing.
Being wrong during all those playoff seasons must have really pissed you off.

Yep. It said major shakeup to assistant coaches on Taylor’s staff. Bengals have parted ways with 4 coaches and a 5th chose to leave. By Bengals standards, that is “massive.”
Sled just trying to discredit Elise again.

So I guess it pissed you off being wrong all those years also, right?
Enjoy these double digit loss seasons. I don't think they will last for a full decade this time.

Great....we keep the incompetent DC whose braindead scheme sets up his players to fail.
RE: Lou Staying For 2021 - fredtoast - 01-05-2021
Given the problems with injuries this year I would almost be willing to give Lou another chance if there was anything on his resume to indicate that he could be successful. But there is nothing. He has never even been a coordinator before and he has never had any real success as a position coach.
If lack of talent was the problem then why did our defense disappear in the final 2 minutes of the half/game even with the same players on the field?

I don’t see where the reasoning is that the front office would see his performance as a DC these past two years and say, “Let’s keep him on for a third”. Yes, if he had a resume from past success as a DC in the NFL you would say ok let’s keep him for a third with his past successes but there isn’t and this guy has done nothing to earn a third year.

I think if we all take emotions out of it, or perhaps even put ourselves in Lou's shoes©, we may realize that he was screwed before the season even began with injuries/opt outs, but then as the season started going, his players went down. I mean, it's not ONE player. It's MANY MANY players! He never had a fair shake this year. The fact that we won 4.5 games with the skeleton crew we ended with to me is astounding. To see the defense as fired up as they were against Pitt in a lost season with many lost players is nothing short of amazing. I'm not saying every game was great.
Yes, I've copyrighted Lou's Shoes© . Look for more upcoming episodes! Kidding....maybe.

Same HC: Check
Same OC: Check
Same DC: Check

When was the last time an NFL team gave up 4,750 yards rushing at 4.9 ypc in 2 years and kept the DC?
