for an embarrassing pretense of a good football game representing the AFC.
Great teams are well rounded and have no realy singular outstanding flwas on the makeup of the team.
Such is not the case in Cincinnati. The coaching staff chose to ignore what was obvious a season ago, that we needed major reconstruction on the offensive line in both SIZE and ability to keep pass rushers out of the Quarterbacks face and running for his life.
So what did team management do in the offseason?
They improved the offensive skill positions, made some minor changes defensively, and that was it.
They refused to change the offensive line which was more porous than typical chain link fencing when it comes to pass protection and second rate at best for opening holes up for running plays.
A blind person could see it as well as anyone who actually knows football and has ever played it whether in high school or college.. I was a lineman in high school.
I played on a team that went to state finals for BIG SCHOOLS title three years..
I also learned whathappens when your O line meets a D line who is twice as big as you. It was't pretty then and it was BUTT UGLY last night..
My apologies for a waste of everyone's time. Zac Taylor had best change this in a hurry if he has any aspirations of remaining a head coach. THIS was obvious last season and remained obvious all year long.
Ask Jow Burrow.. He will tell you the same thing as it is HIM who always bears the brunt of this.
The RAMS should have won and did win although they did not play particularly well until the final quarter.
Congrats to the Rams. They had a great team this year.
Bengas have some linemen to replace. Do that and they too could have an exceptional team.
