O-Line Cost Us a Championship

Maybe Perine can get a yard with a better OL?

Defending the OL at this point is silly.

It’s like defending ryan tannehill on the titans.  He was clearly the reason they lost that game.  No shame in that. If they had a better QB, they very likely beat us.  If I’m the titans I’m looking to get Russ, Rodgers, Watson or someone that would prove to be an upgrade.  The rest of that team is ready to deliver.

Now tannehill isn’t a BAD qb, but he isn’t a SB winning QB on that specific team.  His defense got 9 sacks and he still lost.

LOL. You promise me, huh?

Again, maybe Perine gets the yard with better vision.

Maybe they get THAT 1st down with more creative playcalling.

Maybe Burrow would absolutely love to get back the "forced" pass to Chase on 4th and 1 on the first drive when Higgins was wide open.

Maybe Burrow would have loved to not overthrow the RB wide open in the deep flat early in the game.

Maybe Boyd gets the 1st down the series prior if he doesn't drop the ball.

Maybe this, maybe that.

Maybe this, maybe that.

Again, to dummy it down, there were lots of plays that could have happened even with an OL/QB that allowed 5-6 sack the 2nd half.
The OL struggles is NOT a recipe for future success but on SB sunday there were other plays/calls that attributed to the loss.
