Here is a stat that will shock a lot of people.
In 2018 the Bengals scored a TD 71.1% of the time they were in the Red Zone. That ranked #3 in the league.
Here is one that will shock no one
In 2019 the Bengals have scored a TD 37.5% of the time they were in the Red Zone. That ranks 29th in the league.
Have to get back to scoring TDs in the Red Zone if we are going to start winning.

Tyler Eifert is 100% now and they need to target him more. I am a little surprised at how little targets he’s gotten so far. I like the idea of having ham and Tate on the field at the same time along with Boyd and Erickson .

Doesn't surprise me one bit Fred.
AJ Green is a TD machine inside the 20. We are really missing him when we are down there.

0 for 3 in the Redzone again tonight. Ended up with just 3 points.

This is like discussing a leaking faucet on the Titanic.

A healthy trio of Green, Boling, and Glenn might have been able to help out with that stat. Maybe Redmond could've helped with some of those 3rd an short plays as well. This line reminds me of the line that Marshawn Lynch used to run behind for the Bills(constantly hit in the backfield). If Mixon leaves for a team with a good run blocking line we'll probably see similar commentary of "gee, how could they have let that great RB do so poorly" as we saw with Lynch.
