After blowing the opening day game versus the Pats, the defense literally played their asses off against KC, but both of the starting DTs went down with injury. Then a few weeks later, the injuries to the secondary and then Wilson came about. I don't know that last year's defense ever had a fighting chance of being more that what their stats and record shows. I do think that Lou should have made some schematic adjustments sooner, as I feel confident that he realized he was rolling with less than his best players out there.

I wonder if our weak ass pass rush is why Lou rushed 3, that single play kicked us out of the playoffs (amongst others), but I don't know how you are going to rush Patrick Mahomes (3) and think he won't make a play. Like if we rush more, we'r not getting to him. So he rushes 3 thinking we will be able to cover for a minute and force him to throw a bad ball (?). Someone explain since I'm dumb.

If Burrow gets all day you're in trouble, then again he has superior receivers.

When Pratt made that dumb interview comment after we missed a million tackles that game, and Lou had no comment and didn't bench him - one should have been fired on the spot. Do Bengals fire coaches mid season? I bet they knew at that time it's over but they were still going to try to make the playoffs.
