I have fond memories of the days when the likes of Dick Curl (I know he wasn't a DC but you gotta love the name), Gunther Cunningham, Bob Sutton, Greg Robinson, and Romeo Crennel were roaming the sidelines.

Not sure what point you’re making if it revolves around 1 bad game out of 9, in a game that we won, against an offense that put up 47 the week before against an excellent New England defense. Our only two playoff exits were largely to blame on the offense. |

Or did our offense not stop the opponents offense enough? |

And I think Reid/Mahomes/Kelce/Hill/etc deserve a little more credit for the SB run than the defense that allowed 25 ppg in the playoffs. Again, I’m not trying to run Spags out of town, but it’s okay to call it like it is. |

7 points in the second half of the AFCCG 10 points in the SB, and 7 of those were off the Mahomes INT that gave Sf a short field. The offense followed that up by turning it over again, but that time Spags defense forced a punt. if not for that INT in the SB, Spags defense would've allowed just 17 points in 6 quarters of playoff action. Spags defense performed very well when we had to have it. Consistently. |

John Dorsey and Bob Sutton had so many opportunities to keep adding to this defense. Dee Ford, Marcus Peters, Tanoh Kpassagnon, KeiVarae Russell, Phillip Gaines. Do ANY of those guys even come close to guys you’d give a 2nd contract to? Now look at the guys Spags has drafted like Nick Bolton, Willie Gay and L’Jarius Sneed. Sutton was handed talent. Spags wasn’t |
Spags blows

We lost a 2 possession lead BECAUSE of our offense. |

We lost a 2 possession lead because the defense couldn't stop the Bengals offense from scoring more points. We lost because the defense couldn't stop them in 3rd and forever if their life depended on it. Point I'm trying to make is it always is a 2 way street. You can pick and choose any reason you want to find. The offense built a 2 possession lead. The Defensive Coordinator that you want to fall on the sword for has made public claims that his defensive scheme plays it's best when the offense has built a lead. Yet, that never seems to be the happen. Hold him accountable for his responsibilities. So many times it has been bad from his end. For just an example that is quick off my memory. There was an instance last week where it was 3rd and 4, Denver had the ball and he takes Willie Gay his best sideline to sideline LB off the field to insert a 4th CB. Denver converts the 3rd down with the RB picking up the 1st and eventually goes on to score. Point is this, put your best players on the field in those crucial situations. They don't convert there and they don't go on down and score. And this was with the shitty ass denver offense. Bengals and the Bills have to be licking their chops to face his defense again with dumb calls like that. |
