Yeah, it’s pretty idiotic. The way they passed every down last year was pathetic as well. I get it when we were still in playoff contention—but the last couple games with Burrow we should have protected him better. Now we’re playing ultra conservative in an attempt not to get him injured. It’s such a reactive —instead of proactive—way of doing things. Protect your players and put them in a position to succeed. Any winning head coach would say you protect your qb with the running game. You don’t have him throw 40 times a game when you have already been eliminated from the playoffs (and have a garbage offensive line).

They’ve acted like everything is hunky dory with the offensive line the past 3 years. It’s not. They did invest a few draft picks (finally) this year. But they haven’t invested much money into the position. If you’re not going to sign bates, sign a damn lineman.

Why get rid of Bernard? He helped so much in pass pro. Go 4 or 3 wide with
Bernard and we have a legit extra blocker. Right now we can’t trust any of our backs in protection. It’s pathetic. The play calling isn’t helping either. Use extra tight ends in protection. Call a balanced game. This ‘shell offense’ isn’t going to work. Gotta mix up what you’re doing. Seeing Burrow get hurt was the worst thing this organization has done so us fans. We all saw it coming. It’s beyond frustrating.
