    Carroll said they needed "1 more second" and the bengals wouldn't have had time to kick the tying fg.

    a) it was 5 seconds when they kicked it.

    b) if your lb doesn't give Dalton a shoulder kill shot and instead wraps him up, tackles him to the ground, slowly gets off of him, etc that might have been difference.

    That's nice and all, but it shouldn't have gotten to that position.

    In the final 33 minutes (inc. overtime) hawks had 53 net yards and three first downs.

    Cincinnati had 76 plays, we ran 53.

    Our offense is below average home or away, the defense is above average and elite at home.

    This is still a playoff team. It's not elite/top 4/one to beat etc.

    It's on the upper end of the 24 teams in the middle that on any given Sunday

    Pretty much every loss since 2012 was bc the D blew a 4th quarter lead. They even almost did in the CCG against SF. Its not an elite D. Offense sucks though.

    How can you say it is not an elite D? What is an elite D? Haven't they been ranked #1 defense statistically the past few years?
