The most disappointing thing. That the defense fell apart.
The most disappointing thing about the game

The defense has always been disappointing, but they only gave up 17 points but the blown coverage Green was unaceptable and that long catch run by Hawkins was pretty pathetic too. What was more disappointing was the offense, I think Mathews hamstring tightens up at half time and he isn't a factor in the game come the second half, Mathews has ran well when in the game and seems like we were pounding Cincy d-line. Then not being able to get Woodhead involved more effectively involvwed is disappointing and he was in dam near all the second half. How much longer can you live with Vincent Brown starting he did have one key reception but it was his only reception.

I didn't see anything that said "lack of effort." I agree that when the other team's OL is blowing you off the ball on every play that can look uninspired. But I think that's more a reflection on the matchup and their physicality vs our lack of same on D. And let's not forget, this remains a pretty good D they are throwing out there. They have a lot of injuries, esp with guys like Atkins and Hall out, but they are a tough group and they played very well.
Really, the offense was the part of the team that had a bad day, and it's not the first time I've seen that happen. I thought it happened at Tenn as well. We need more players and decent health. Considering all the injury problems and lack of depth, I'm satisfied with the year so far, and I think we can be as many as two games better next year.

Glenn was one of those who stated that Bolts were emotionally flat for this game. He said he saw that while on the Chargers' sidelines and it got worse as the game went on. Having our OL and DL get dominated as they did didn't help. 2nd time in 3 weeks that an opposing team's interior OL backups took our DL to task. That should not happen...Last edited by Boltdog; 12-02-2013, 09:28 PM.Fighting for Carson...and Wilmington...ity:

Originally posted by RobH View PostI agree. I don't think we lacked passion and effort. We lacked talent. Our OLB are just guys, and our DL was getting beat up at the end of the game. Up until that last drive, I really thought the D had held its own. Perhaps the DL just got tired. The BenGals were a very hard hitting aggressive team, and I think our DL just got too beat up to do the job on the last drive.
