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.

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.

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.

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

Ego.

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

    • agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it. 
    • I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.
    • I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
