Every single one of our top three CBs missed multiple game. We started 11 different guys on our O-line in something like ten different combinations.
As much as I rip on Taylor I realize no coach would have had much success with these problems. Good teams have better guys at #2, but we were playing third string guys and no one in the league has good players that deep on the roster.
Plus, we were extremely weak in the trenches. No HC, not even Belichick can win many games with terrible play in the trenches.
We need Reiff and Hopkins back and we will be right back in the thick of it. Thankfully the Steelers beat the Ravens to help us out a
bit. I couldn't root for the Steelers to win but after we lost, it helped us, have to admit. We just need to get healthy on the OL. Our
DL dang near got us a win against the Chargers before the Mixon fumble. They were imposing their will, too bad it didn't matter
after the Defensive TD and the following 2 series.
