Offensive line train wreck in slow motion

1. This line is the worst in team history. That's not exaggerating one bit.
2. The choking culture.

Fix the line and give us a good head coach (think Jim Harbaugh) and people would be amazed at the difference. Of course, the biggest problem of all is the one we'll never be rid of. The Brown family. But I do believe in Dalton, Green, Mixon, Gio, Atkins, Dunlap, and Burfict. WJax and Lawson are also good young players.

When Marvin has great pieces and a non-historically bad o-line, he can get 10 wins, but something he's doing is causing this team to constantly lose against the Steelers, and prime time games...and playoff games. I'm not sure what that is, but we have 15 years of evidence with 2 different cores, multiple QBs, coordinators, you name it.

Everything's been flipped around 3 times at least, yet the results are identical since 2003.

For sure !

If you go back and look at all our "big games" with a handful of exceptions (playoffs excluded) it's the same story over and over again. We get horribly out coached, out played, out scored, out intensified in the 2nd half, bad !

When it really matters we fold ! We're averaging scoring like 5 points in the second half vs. Steelers of late. What's our second half playoff score average ? doubt it's doulbe digits.

Mike Brown $%u#$ @$# but that's not his fault. Marvin Lewis led teams = choke artists, period.
