That was my choice in the normal game ball thread on here. It reads as Divisional Game Ball Thread. I choose OTHER, and I said a game ball to the entire Offensive Line. 3 of 5 starters out, many teams would have crumbled. Not our Bengals. The back-ups at O Line pushed the Bills Defense up and down the field all game long.
So I'm with you Go Cards on the O Line. The unsung hero's. Fans love quarterbacks and receivers. The O Linemen only get their name called if they make a penalty. Some say you win with Defense giving credit to them, which is right. Still, every Super Bowl Champion had a great Offensive Line, from Lombardi Packers on. You can see it in the Super Bowl highlights of how the O Line took on a great defense and won the Super Bowl. Some great O Lines. The 69 Chiefs. The early 70's Dolphins and Steelers and Raiders and Cowboys. The Washington HOGS and the 49ers of the 80's. The 90's Giants, Cowboys and Packers and Broncos. The 2000's Steelers and Patriots. Every Super Bowl Champ had a great O Line, even if their names only got called on a penalty. Not as flashy as the glory boy quarterbacks and receivers, but you can't win without them.
Going into todays game, the big question was the Bengals O Line minus 3 of 5 starters. They answered by kicking the Bills butts up and down the field all game long.
