Bengals fire DC after giving up 51 but the Panthers stay pat

Thoughts....reactions......or fug if we will “fix” this

We had a short week and played away. Cincy had a normal week and played at home. They have zero reason to let a team hang up 50

Oh the drama.

Bengals are the first team in NFL history to give up 500 yards in 3 straight games. Our defense is bad..... but it’s not that bad.

I agree with the earlier post. Cincy had a bye week to prepare for Saints offense. We had 3 days and had to travel. However, if we give up 50 again I assume Washington and/or Brady Hoke get shown the door.

Big alcoholic Ben had more td then incomplete passes let that sink in carl !!!!!

The Bengals have the worst total defense in football, giving up almost 35 yards per game more than the team that's 31st (the Browns). They are worst in the league against the pass and are 31st against the run (with only Miami being worse), and 31st in points per game (trailing only Tampa).

Two completely different situations.

Washington is a excellent coach. His coaching resume backs it up 100%.

Didn't you hear Ron explain that "at the end of the day this poo happens"?

We must continue to place complete trust in this trustworthy fellow that loves to stifle offenses and then trots out a poo defense that surrenders 50+.

[LinvilleGorge]

Did anyone honestly expect any different? Yes, it's obvious that Washington is trash but we all know that Ron values continuity over all else. I mean, look at how long he hung onto Shula.

The defensive debacle on Thursday was not a one time thing. Pitt also played on a short week. The defense this year has not been good. People can make excuses and downplay it all they want but we have no pass rush and the scheme and play calling have not been good.

This is quite possibly the worst defense we've fielded since 2011, if not even farther back. No excuse when there's talent on that field. Comes down to poor planning, poor strategy and poor execution.
