I'd have a much easier time buying into this if it wasn't for that damn Bengals game.  Maybe that entire game is excluded as "garbage time" because that pretty much summed up my experience watching it.

I still find it hard to believe, but that's what's up

I'd really like to know what happened in that game from a coaching perspective. 

heads rolled afterwards. would love to know what those two hacks had done prior to that.

The same defense that let Seattle back into the game. Twice.

The same defense that forced Seattle into the situation of having to fight to get back into the game twice.

scoring a TD with 14 seconds to go while down 2 scores should not be classified as "let X team back into the game." 

 

It was defintely our youth showing though, if Horn tries to make a tackle there instead of a pick, the game ends there.

 

 

This is also the same defense that held the seahawks to under 100 total yards in the 2nd half and only 3 pts.... until that final drive.

Yeah that same defense.  That would’ve never been in that situation had they kicked the FG or hadn’t attempted 4 consecutive passes down on the goal line coming up with 0 points

If it weren't for the Bengals debacle, it probably would look even better.

Didn’t we fire a couple of Rhule stowaways on the defensive side of the staff after that game?

Yep.

How do they define garbage time? Was the entire Bengals and 49ers game considered garbage time?

Our defense is good and I would consider them a borderline top 10 defense. They definitely aren't the best in the NFL and we have lucked out we haven't had to play many elite offenses. Honestly, outside of the Bengals and maybe the Seahawks, have we played a good offense this year (not sure what to consider the 49ers pre-CMC and with no Mitchell)

What about the 49ers or Browns? One theme running throughout those 3 losses. Defense couldn’t stop an elite, or in the case of the Niners elite scheming, running back and the offense had to shoulder a ton of the weight. Which pretty much never turned out good for the offense.

I believe garbage time is classified as final 8 minutes of the 4th quarter and 3 possesion+ score difference
