When given time Andy has carved apart defenses this year and even did so yesterday when he had more than 2 seconds to throw!  However not having any time and getting sacked is what we saw a lot of yesterday.

Don't get me wrong and think the is a negative thread the O-line has been stellar all year just wondering what happened yesterday?

When there's rush everyone points fingers at the line. The fact is Gio while making his blocks was pushed back into the QB often. Eifert was beat a lot in pass protection. Steelers brought the zone blitz forcing the bengals to keep guys in to mass protect. Combine that with the receivers not getting open on their hot reads means a long day for Dalton. The worst thing about the line was bad snaps between the center and QB and the pre snap penalties.
