This. Joe got all his bells rung tonight. Repeatedly.
For him to stay in it like that? To the end?
I don't think he quit making plays at all. There were no plays to make because his o line was non existent.
We ALL knew the o line has been the weakest link, but we got to the big dance with them and that's all we had. Good news is they can fix this mess relatively easily. Sign Norwell ASAFP and pick up some more FA talent.
The Bengals of late seems to have finally come to the realization teams need to sign FA talent, not just aging guys to 1-2 year deals, AND build through the draft.
