The defense at least has an excuse. On Offense they add even more talent with Orlando Brown Jr. now part of the tremendous talent they already have on offense and the offense drops to #20 in scoring yet people want to blame the defense. You cant keep expecting Lou and the defense to bail out the offense when the Bengals have made the decision to let talent leave from the defense so they can spend the money on offense
We have the highest paid DLine in the NFL.
We just extended TWO LBs coming off of very good seasons.
We replaced Bates with a 1st Rounder that had a year to learn.
We replaced Apple with CTB.
We replaced Bell with a Super Bowl starter.
If Lou such an awesome D Coord we should have dont better, especially since he is defensive back specialist.
We were just bad on D, offense always sputters at times, and we couldnt win field position with our punter.
