Short summary:
The exodus of coaches and players have definitely taken its toll on the team.
The offense has moved the ball fairly well due mostly to Andy and AJ, but has been woeful in the redzone. Tyler Eifert finally coming back should fix most of those problems.
The defense is really bad y'all, and it hurts to watch. Considering this is nearly identical team to a year ago is really weird. The biggest problem is that we had to replace nearly all of the position coaches, and it has had a tremendously negative affect. Penalties, blown coverages, and missed tackles have plagued the team all year and will continue to do so.
The special teams has also been bad. Mike Nugent early in the season was lights out from inside 50 yards, but the last few games he has imploded. Kevin Huber has been uncharacteristically bad this year, and Alex Erickson may somehow be worse than Brandon Tate. I didn't know that was possible.
In conclusion, this team is bad. At least the offense should be fun to watch.
Pretty much agree with all of this. It sounds hyperbolic but the defensive issues have been here forever, but in years past the personnel was good enough to overcome the endless penalties, missed assignments, etc. Not so this year, and the coaching has been abysmal overall. Paul Guenther and Marvin Lewis should both be updating their resumes but frankly I'll be shocked if either are let go. The o-line has also been pretty bad which has been a bit of a surprise.
