We will have the same record as last year after 6 games.
Our secondary needs to come together. Too many costly penalties and long fourth-down completions doomed us against the Bengals. Those can't happen. And being tired is not an excuse for a professional defense.chris98251":tk0qh1uk said:Just the offense, Defense got tired, Special teams over all have been better.

It's still absurd to say our defense didn't play well because they were gassed. They've been trained to play 60-plus minutes of football. It's their job. And it's not like the offense set the defense up with the goal line to their backs. The Bengals reeled off big chunks of yardage before scoring. But we're on the verge of putting it all together, so I'm relaxed and ready for better things ahead.chris98251":1nwkblcz said:Siouxhawk":1nwkblcz said:Our secondary needs to come together.

Being inept is not an excuse for a profession offense, not blocking is not an excuse for a professional lineman, not being able to call the right plays in the right situation is not an excuse for a NFL Offensive coordinator.
Doing so would keep the defense fresh, allow them to play downhill, which is what this defense does best.

Have you ever played football for 60 straight minutes?
In fact playing ten straight minutes with guys hitting you and beating on you while running sprints 40 yds or longer takes a toll on the best conditioned atthletes.
Doesn't take long to begin getting dehydrated, kinda the reason they have all those water coolers on the sidelines, also without a break in between your stamina wears down from muscle fatigue without rest.
