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

Recommended Posts

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.

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

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+.

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 

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.

    • Man, what interesting polarization here.  Some, hard pass while others would jump their own mom to make  the pick (ok, I just inserted that mental image, ha ha). Warren produced despite being the main focal point of the Penn State offense.  I didn't watch Penn State, but that's what a lot of talking heads are saying so take that with a gigantic grain of salt here!  When I watch the highlights and listen to the analysis: dude is a bully.  He's big, strong and fast enough.  Not a home run threat of a guy, but someone who can use his size and strength to his advantage, like how Gronk did.  Does that make him a sure fire HOF player before he plays a snap?  No, of course not! But I think it's also very important to look at what's happened to other high draft pick TEs.  Top 10 TEs rarely make an impact.  Look at Kyle Pitts in ATL.  He's a great athlete, but was he a worthy high draft pick?  TJ Hockinson.  He was suppose to be a can't miss product, and was traded to the Vikings.  Here's a handy list (despite the source, eww): https://thefalconswire.usatoday.com/gallery/nfl-draft-falcons-tight-end-kyle-pitts-hayden-hurst-atlanta/ There has been much better value drafting guys in the 2nd-4th rounds.  I have no idea if Warren will wash out or not, but I'd MUCH rather draft the best pass rusher, CB or even WR than a TE in the top 10.  Now if the Panthers traded down into the late teens or early 20s and they are sold on him being a difference maker...  I guess that's a different conversation. It could also just be a smoke screen.  Since we telegraphed Legette last year, could be gaming some of the other teams.  Or we could have a hard-on for him. I do enjoy the off season 😃
