The bengals at 5-2 (one loss being an OT loss to packers) had real playoff aspirations. Are you telling me they couldn’t have done “something” to help get burrow protection?
Instead we sat on our hands, lost our RT and our OL before and after that loss hindered us throughout the rest of the season.
We won in spite of a huge problem
The past is the past, but there was AMPLE opportunity.
The rest of us were talking about the offseason. What great O-lineman became available when we were 5-2, and how would we have obtained him with less than $6 ,illion in cap space?
