As with most losing seasons, there's a lot of blame to go around, and that held true tonight...but I can't help but feel piss poor blocking is making the offense look a lot worse than it really is. You're right about lack of speed and separation though. I also wonder if Zamp just isn't coming up with anything creative to get these guys some space. Even slow receivers can be schemed open.
This is absolutely true. The schemes are the reason that receivers not named Green or Eifert have a difficult time getting separation. Those two are so uniquely talented that they would make even a bad plan look good. Cincy's passing offense has been exposed without them, but it's not because guys like Boyd and LaFell aren't good. They're just not Green (in Boyd's case, not yet.)
GO STRIPES!!!
