My thoughts exactly. We are a freaking Super Bowl contender with this D, if our offense didn't completely suck. I love watching this defense, but I almost dread watching us play on offense.
I've reached the conclusion the truth on TT is something between the "haters and "fanboys". He's an inconsistent QB who makes great plays followed by terrible ones. He's an 8-8 level QB who might be able to sneak a team into the playoffs. Certainly having no playmakers doesn't help much either.
Agree, although I could argue that going after Dalton wouldn't be unwarranted. Lewis encourages his team to do the same to their opponents. The Bengals deserve it.
