was predictable. A huge defensive line for the Rams versus a Bengals offensive line that is inept at best, cannot pass block as was shown all year, does not run block very well either, and yet for all the moves the Bengals made in personnel to become a better team, they did NOTHING to imporve the most glaring weakness they have, the O line.
This game was lost due to that glaring weakness. If you keep the Rams defense out of Burrows face this game likely would have been a much wider margin of victory for Burrow and company.
As it was in reality, if the RAMS would have lost, shame on them.
I like Aaron Darnold. I just wish he would learn to keep his mouth shut and be a little gracious. He played against inferor linemen opposite himself. So he beat up on the little kid down the street. He's a big man , right?
The Bengals management had best address the O line big time this off season if they expect to be contending for AFC titles in the future. Burrow running for his life is not the correct offensive scheme.
So, congrats to The Rams for winning a game they were supposed to win. They almost choked.
Zac Taylor, do something abut the miserable state of your offensive line. The rest of the team is really great and press corp, JaMar Chase is far and away a better wide receiver than cooper kup could dream about and the other tywo, Tee Higgins and Boyd are not any worse than K Kup either.. Tired of hearing about this person who is nothing more than average receiver who gets the ball thrown to him on short routes a whole lot..
I'll take the Bengals THREE wideouts over K Cup and his compadres every day of the week.
The difference was the O LINE in this game. Period. The D line of LA overwhelmed the O line of da Bungles.
That is what was expected and it happened. period.
I turned the game off in the second half and back on in the 4th quarter. Nothing unexpected happened or changed.
The Bengals will not be back until they do something about the offensive line they ignored completely last summer. It had better be addressed this off season or fans in town are not going to be happy.. Many are already not because we knew this was going to happen...
HOW we got by Tennessee I will never understand... The RAMS pointed outthe problem very clearly. I hope coach Taylor noticed......
