Anyone who doesn’t see that the defense came out playing better tonight is blind.
Take away Zeke’s fumbles and we have a 7-3 game despite Gallup’s drop.

The offense is worse. Defense is better. Two costly turnovers and our weekly Worley breakdown. Otherwise, there is actually some positive stuff going on out there. Also, at least we know Martin isn’t lost and will return, even if not in this game.

If the defense continues to improve and we get Awuzie back out there with Brown and Diggs, I still believe Andy Dalton will shake off the rust and improve. I’m a cynic, but even the slight improvement by the defense gives me hope.

The defense still stinks. Murray was off early. He found his groove and that was that.

The defense has not improved all that much. They still don't generate turnovers. They still give up too many 3rd and longs. They still can't sniff a QB.

Nolan is trash. When is that going to settle in for you guys?

I'm not so confident about this defense. The Cardinals have figured out that the deep shots are there and they've got lateral sweep runs whenever they want them.

Yall be tripping.
Andy be 15/20 for 82 yards. 81.7 rating.

This game is on Moore. He took away the passing game to the WRs and called dump offs to Zeke to get him going. Zeke fumbles twice CD fumbles once. This ain't working Lone Ranger. Go back to what got you here. By the way Lone Ranger Moore, if you ain't looked this is a FREE game. You can take chances and still lead the division. Ain't like you gotta get conservative now.

There are other routes on those plays, perhaps Andy just checked it down?

To bad they wasted a good Oline. Years of what could have been with Oline full of top picks. Now they can't even hold their ground.

Zeke is going to be a 3 yard back for the near future. Or for as long as they decide to keep a 3 yard back with no burst.

I will say though, Dalton hasn't looked good and to be fair, he gotta get his timing down. Can't really blame the offensive line too much. It ain't much different than the one Dak had. Can't turn the ball over anymore. Defense hasn't been bad. Just not good enough to be given short field.

I’ve watched Dalton torch the Ravens enough to know he’s more than capable... however... no team can win with this defense.

I’m actually enjoying watching him lead WRs when he’s had a second to throw.

Lead WR to incompletions?

Yep, that is awesome of him. The best "lead the receiver" pass he has had tonight is the pass that should have been a Pick 6. And we all know how important those "almost interceptions' are.
