Forced Fumbles by our D, or lack thereof

Seems like even when the ball gets put on the ground it always bounces back to the offense, too. Bad luck.

I think bad luck is a part of it but only a small part.

if the Bengals are playing from behind and their defense trying to get the ball back.....you can bet that offense
is securing the ball with runs off tackle.
QB isnt takng that 7 step.drop...hes rolling out....out of pocket on a high % throw to.a TE in the flat.
How many times have we seen in the past when the Bengals are driving to tie a game or take a lead  under 4 minutes in a game and Dalton is facing some heavy pressure.....he climbs pocket....ball is tomahawked out by a Terrell Suggs or whoever.
I noticed our DBs and LBers have issues stripping WRs of the ball in open field.

I can see that, you just play a little loser with the lead and take some chances.
