They also have some of the best offensive skill players in the game. And good depth in both of those areas. Just two years ago, with a similar cast of characters, they were having a season that looked like it was headed for a deep post-season run. Management allowed a couple of the most important assets (Mike Brown: "why should I pay for 'blockers'?") to depart. With better leadership, the Bengals wouldn't have one of worst o-lines in the league.

A horrible O line destroys the running game, makes the passing game hurried and, in general, f--s the whole thing up.

But, today, the defense is far from one of the best.
