In defense of Allen (gulp)

Already l am seeing a bunch of fire him threads, which l think is very unfair of some of us
Yesterday we without our starting quarterback, 3 starting wide receivers, pro bowl corner, first round pick tackle and lost our starting tight end ( who was actually playing pretty well ) early
We were still very competitive, the only team l see as beat up as us is the 49ers who lost to a pretty bad Atlanta team ( wonder if their fans are calling for their coaches heads ? )
We lost at least two games this season mainly due to awful referees
He did not put us in this cap mess, we went all in in previous years and it would be hard for any head coach to sign good free agents with the mess we are in
Give the guy a chance, a whole lot of things that are wrong right now are simply not his fault
Defense and Allen should not be used in the same sentence. Did you notice the difference between the Saints “prevent defense” and the Bengals defense on the Saints last drive?
The Bengals had 3 DL and 8 DBs: 4 10 yards deep and 4 20 yards deep. DA typically would have 4 DL, 1 or 2 LBs and 5 or 6 DBs. That defense costs us several playoff games.
