This game it was a snap. Against KC a penalty. Against NE, the offense was flat. Against Wash, it was the defense.
This is precisely it. Bad teams find ways to lose all the time.
The Bengals this year could easily be 4-1. But we're 1-4 because we couldn't get going against a bad Patriots team... threw away a win on 4th and 16 with a dumb defensive play. Threw away yesterday's game with a bad hold and an avalanche of defensive howlers.
KC haven't been anything special at all this year and yet they're 4-0 because they haven't spent all season tripping over themselves.
I would argue we should at least be 3-2 on the balance of play this season. We had the Chiefs game won, and we should've had yesterday's game won multiple times. We didn't turn up against NE and defence was a disgrace against Washington, but we didn't do enough to win those games when it comes down to it. But we're a bad team right now so we're 1-4.
