I agree 100% with this statement.

I think most of us were counting on those guys having good seasons with the other additions to the defense, but they have been two of the least productive players on D instead. Also, Lawson I know gets pressures and what not but his nickname may as well be "almost". He is decent but not the answer for us at DE the way it looks. We've seen enough of him to know, imo. He gets lots of close calls but doesnt finish nearly enough. He almost won us the game yesterday though... almost.

With Reader, Hubbard, WJ3 and Waynes, I really think yesterday would've looked a little different. If Dunlap wasnt acting like a clown it might help too. We dont have a DT that really disrupts right now with Reader out. Hubbard brings a lot to the table too and we are missing him big time.

I agree with both of those bolded statements.  Now, I just blasted the defense for not being able to come up with a single defensive stand to win the game yesterday.  However, I cannot support firing Lou Anarumo at this point in the season.

Aside from the obvious allowing opposing teams to score more points than the Bengals, I do feel like the defense played as hard and as spirited as they could, given the personnel they had available at game time.

The fact that the players that were available played hard tells me that they have not given up, or lost confidence in what Lou is asking them to do.  In fact, I sort of feel like firing Lou right now, would likely push the entire team into an irreparable state of chaos and calamity.
