Is it on Lou that our LBers can't make simple tackles? Is it on Lou that DTs can't win a single pass rush snap? 

What I see is an unathletic defense that can't make routine plays that you see every other NFL team make in their sleep.

We at least have the hardest piece to get right already in place. I do think better coaches could mask some of the FO deficiencies, yes.

Are these trick questions?

Of course it is

Agreed.  JN should be unlocked immediately once the game concludes, regardless of outcome.

Said it before the draft and I'll say it again.....the Bungles should have drafted Payton Wilson.  The only thing that kept this guy from being a high first round pick was his knack for getting injured.  The Bungles just do not know how to scout.  I mean how many first round picks have they had over the years that have been busts??  Many, many, MANY.  You take the Squealers........they can take a guy in the late rounds and he'll be a star for them.  Why?  The Squealers have viable scouts that actually know what to look for in a player.

Likely, it's to stop the flood of repetitive rage threads in that forum.

It’s 9 AM in Cincinnati. People are at work and business hours are upon us. Mikey Boy is likely in his office at the stadium, blissfully consuming breakfast he bought with coupons through a drive through where the cashier smirked at his ‘91 Lumina. People should be fired left and right this morning with extreme prejudice.
