But that’s not our offense.   Defense plays good enough to give our offense a chance to win in the end but has folded 3 out of 3 of our losses at the end when it mattered.

this should be an offense that hangs with the elites

but they're playing like Houston

keep giving them a pass though

6th best defense in the league? Yea, blame them instead

(10-10-2022, 01:02 AM)matmaven Wrote: Not whatever.  D is one of the best in the league and the offense is hot garbage.  They have given up ZERO second half TDs. ZERO.  And they are on the field a lot with all of the 3 and outs from the O.

This goes back to the Super Bowl (although they got ref screwed there). The great defenses close games out - they don't allow game winning scores 4 times in the last 6 outings.

Serious question; are you bipolar?  Throughout the week you have some decent football talk, but on game day you completely struggle with the worst possible defeatist attitude.  Calm down my man, before you have a heart attack or aneurysm.

but no. The offense isnt doing it's part. The defense is doing all it can to keep the offense in the game, and the offense constantly under performs

a bottom 12 offense the bengals have, and you people are criticizing the defense? 16.4 points a game? not 2nd half touchdowns allowed?

this is sickening
