I fully believe this is a coaching loss. There is just a pattern at this point for a game every now and then where the team just does not show up.
It sucks, but I would take this for 14-15 games a year where they give it 110% and win more often than not.
This is the Aaron Glenn defense that gave up a combined 133 points to the Eagles, Broncos, and Seahawks in 2021. It’s also a reason he has gotten interviews and no offers for his own gig.
The offense can score 30+ points. The problem is the defense. Going for it there would desperation and abandoning your defense. And you wouldn’t win this game without them.
I don’t really get it but it seems to be part of what we get with Dan Campbell. Maybe the schtick and getting guys to give it 110% doesn’t work for every game across an NFL season.
2021: Bengals and Eagles
2022: Patriots and Panthers
2023: Ravens
