I know we have some key injuries and I'm sure it would help if we had those guys, but meltdowns like last week and today are unacceptable no matter what, imo.
Lou was praised after the Ravens game but since then he's D has been terrible and have lost 2 games in a row that we should've won. Carlos sucks too though. I dont care what system. He was in this system last year and played better. He is just getting flat out beat by OLmen all the time. As far as I'm concerned send Carlos and Lou out on the same bus and let them discuss it on their way out of Cinci.
Yeah they played well against the Ravens. But they are just way too inconsistent. We had no chance of wining that game and the defense played as good as they could. Yet in games we have a chance of winning they cannot close any games out/ shut anyone down. As a defense if you can't close out teams in the 4th quarter, you suck. Or the Chargers game too. 21-0 lead. Disappears in 1 quarter. I'm tired of all the excuses. They need to make a change.
Schematically and personnel wise they've made some great upgrades this year. However, they continue to look soft when it matters and the play calling just isn't good enough. Bring in someone who can right the ship. I'm mostly tired of the poor play calling. Zim kept us in games with his play calling. I see critical play calling errors on almost every drive with Lou.
