To a degree, but not one that’s make that performance ok. The Bengals OL has been pretty bad this year. 

Granted, but I think their biggest advantage today was in the brains department.

They figured out they could exploit the left side of our D and did it all day.

I'd add that sn NFL defense shouldn't be as vulnerable to simple draws and screens as ours was today. That's coaching.

Tried to tell y’all that the defense was going to be much worse off without Snow.  I despised Rhule, but Snows defense was good when not put in bad situations

Well you are looking correct. Particularly today.

 

You can’t openly disagree with the prior defensive coach…then take over…and make it look much worse. 
 

Oof. 

[4Corners]

The first half clearly indicates that the team has gave up. I think our season ended last Sunday.

If I’m not mistaken, I read somewhere that Wilks did not agree with the defense Snow built…one reason was he thought they were too light and needed more size.

So he proceeded to fire Snow, promote his buddy and field a worse defence.

Good move, Wilks.

At least we got those two 1’s for Burns…

 

Oh wait

Oof. 

Yeah that’s ugly.  Wilks has a track record of being a poor defensive coach.  I like him as a person, but didn’t really expect an improvement based on his resume

This season is a lost cause. They are trying to win with fired coaches players that don’t fit the scheme they want to run. Nobody can defend what we saw today but it does not matter as a new regime will start in January.

Clean house top to bottom.

Well you can't change the personnel.

 

You can only change the scheme so much.

 

Same on offense.

So why change the (successful) scheme mid-season when you know you don't have the players to run it?

Ego.

Snow deserved to be fired.

That pretty much sums up the entire staff here.

This defensive scheme was not successful with Rhule/Snow. The entire team was terrible today. New coaches will be here in January
