I was getting so angry that the offensive line is so bad the defense was waiting for Dalton when he dropped back to pass.
Dalton is a huge bright spot on this completely disappointing 2016 team we have.
No doubt. Believe it or not, Dalton has a 96.2 passer rating as of now, with only 2 INTs (0 fumbles), despite 17 sacks and dozens of pressures already. We're on pace to allow 54 sacks, which would be more than 2008. Maybe the most in Bengals history.

Next week is almost certainly an L. I guess the most positive thing I can say is that we started 3-5 in 2012 and wound up 10-6. We have more time to turn it around than that, but something needs to change fast.

We knew the (basically) rookie OT would struggle, but Z is surprising.
Get Jake Long and Jonathan Cooper in her pronto.
Cincy.com put 2 sacks on Bodine today. I totally agree on bringing someone in though. Maybe 2 players.
Anyone on the street can play as good or better than what we're getting right now. Hell, get Winston in there. He can't possibly be worse. Bench Zeitler too if need be, although that's a tough one to figure out.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
