Also you keep bringing up how bad the defense was in the middle of the year they were but you ignore the fact that the defense was playing better at the end of the year. If we had a healthy Dalton and Green maybe we beat the Chargers, Broncos, and Steelers at the end of the year. You add three wins to our total that makes us 9-7.
Bengals were 5-6 with Dalton and 5-4 with AJ Green.
Week 3 they allowed 31 points, Week 4 they allowed 36 points. Week 7 we have up 45 points. Week 8 34 points. Week 9 51 points.
The defense was relatively healthy and pretty historically bad.
Then once Dalton and Green got hurt and we couldn't move the ball on offense...the defense started giving up less points.
Really hard to look at all of that and say this would have been a 10-11 win team.
