The defense still played like crap against the Seahawks. They let them stay on the field forever by letting them have about the same amount of rushing yards as what Wilson had through the air. The defense didn't play a good game against the Seahawks by any means.

They let Alex Smith have the most yards of his career against us. Letting him have almost 400 yards, and the run game had a little over 100 yards too. I don't think the defense stopped them from scoring once. Good thing our offense was going off at that point, or we would have lost.

The Bengals also played Arizona (who was the #1 offense), and Pittsburgh twice (who was the #3 offense). So, it's not like the Bengals had a cupcake schedule in the second half of the season.

The defense looked a lot worse before Burfict came back. It shows in the stats, and if you actually watch the game.

This "if you watch the game" crap is tired and weak, but since you still insist on arguing the same point:

Carr was injured right before halftime.  And with Carr, they got ZERO points....in their stadium....in week 1 of the NFL.  Looking at what the Raiders did to some other teams, it was a heck of an effort by the defense.  

Regardless what you say about the defense playing like "crap" against the Seahawks, they gave up 17 points to them.  The same Seahawks that put of 39 against the steelers and 38 against the Vikings.  17 points, and they shut them down on three straight drives to get the ball back to the offense, allowing for the comeback victory.  

As far as Alex Smith having his best day against the Bengals, he got ZERO TDs, and 21 points, all in FGs.  The chiefs were destroying teams at that point, and they still had Jamal Charles at that time of the season.  The Bengals defense held them to 21.  

Arizona put up huge numbers (and actual points, which is all that really matters) against Cincy after Burfict's return.  

The fact that you say they didn't play cupcakes (referring to the offenses on the other team) the second half of the season is questionable, when they played a hapless Browns team twice, a pathetic Rams team, and a horrible 49er team.  That's the 3 worst offenses in the league, played 4 out of 8 games.  

Sorry, shoe, I love Burfict too, but the defense played well with and without him.
