We draft athletic DB's and expect them to be disciplined and tackle well in a zone defense. Our Db's do not do well with this. I would almost rather have the other team score quickly every once in awhile instead of letting them chew up clock and wear our defense out
Field goals add up especially when you arent kicking them too.
Isn't that the story of the Bengals? We look good about the bad teams...but struggle against the big boys in prime time games.
It's like our scheme and team is built to beat up on the weak teams.
