Not trolling! Questions about your team.

Welcome to Seattle.
We dont see the Bengals very often, so I am a bit curious about our matchup.
My main question is how good is your run defense? Seattle loves to run so this matchup could determine the outcome.
Any thoughts about your game plan?

Well, we gave up over 2200 rushing yards on the season last year.... Good for 29th in the league. And our defense gave up a historical amount of yards. So, you know.... We're pretty damn good.

Yikes! Any decent upgrades in run D this offseason?

Well, we hired the defensive backs coach from the leagues 23rd best pass defense to be our defensive coordinator..... After being turned down by every other defensive coach in the league with a pulse.

And we got one defensive player in the first 140 picks in the NFL draft..... And no free agents.

So, I think we're doing pretty okay. What about you?

Dang, sorry buddy. Sux bigtime. Whoever is in charge maybe shouldn't be in charge. Whoever owns the team needs to hire the best football people possible to run the team or sell.
On our end, we originally had the Nordstroms as owners. They were great. They were muslead in selling the team to Ken Behring who later tried to move the team to LA. That blew up in his face and the team was again sold to all local own and fan, Mr Paul Allen. Everything changed for the positive after he bought the team.
Best of luck in finding a winning solution.

Yeah.... Well, your city is now run by tech bros which I gather some folks are pissy about. So there's that.

you don't need a good defense when your teams mission is to put the other team over for entertainment value.
