They gave up 13 points. One of the field goals was directly associated with the jones fumble on the 20 yard line right after the half. They gave up legit 3 points in the second half and kept the offense in the game. They got the ball back to the offense at the end of the game to drive down and win the game.
Did they get run on a little bit and miss some tackles? Yes. But they were 10000% good enough to win the game Sunday.
No one is to blame for this loss other than the offense. You people just like to complain I swear.
LOL. Again. don't let the number of points they gave up against a team that MIGHT average 10-11 ppg. this season get in the way of logic, which, you're vastly short of here. If NE wanted to throw the ball another 15 times they easily could have and been successful but they did not need to as they controlled the clock easily and played "flip the field".
It was like holding somebody under water and just letting them come up for air a little bit at a time. Cinci. had good outside pressure a few times by Trey. That was it. ZERO interior inside push by tackles which is pretty important in sustaining a pass rush and continually gave up running room to probably the slowest QB in the NFL. Continually gave up the inside of the field to the WR's on the slant.
In you believe that not getting to the QB, missing tackles over and over and over, not being able to defend the same pass play presented over and over and over and not being able to stop a team from converting that you know is only running the ball then you really need to buy a book called Football 101.
