People keep bashing the offense

I'd also 15th in passer rating is about where I would expect Andy to be and that's a solid stat; just not as high s our D rates in the two main defensive categories: yards and points.

I really don't know what folks are trying to do in this thread. I thought it was a comparison of our offense's performance versus our defense's performance. Seems folks will agree but still want to argue. Our defense is not the reason this team sits at 3-6 

Why's that? I'm saying stats. Dalton is in the top half of the league and even top 10.

Our defense is not THE reason. It is A reason.

They gave up two game winning TDs. But I guess that's the offenses fault, huh?

Yep. They give up yards. But over the last 6 weeks they've never allowed more than 17 points.

Plus, you have to look at competition as well. The Patriots have a much tougher schedule than the Bengals.

The Patriots have gone against 4 of the top 10 offenses in the NFL. Only 1 team they faced is in the bottom 10.


The Bengals have gone against 1 of the top 10 offenses in the NFL. Played 5 teams that are in the bottom 10.

I know that doesn't fit your narrative, but they competition is polar opposite there.
