During last year's game against the Rams, we had a total of 3 red zone TD's (or just outside the redzone). We also had a field goal.
During this game, Tyler Eifert caught a redzone TD pass (or close to the redzone). There's also a play during the 2nd half in which Gio Bernard fumbles after a long gain, only for it to be recovered by Eifert. The drive led to an AJ Green touchdown.
Case in point, without Tyler Eifert in this game, we are missing at least 12 points in this game (possibly more).
That would have brought the final score to Cincinnati: 19 St. Louis (or LA now): 7, including a Leon Hall pick-six, and 2 AJ Green touchdowns. A day carried by the defense, Andy Dalton, and AJ Green (seem familiar?). Our offense during the game against the Rams doesn't look so great now.
The Rams of last year and the Dolphins of this year seem comparable in quality if opponents and at these points in their respective seasons. I believe that the redzone woes of early 2016 for our offense come down to 2 things: A missing Tyler Eifert, and a sparkling new OC who is just now getting his feet wet.
When Eifert comes back, these redzone issues will be cut in half (at least). I'd argue that is a safe wager.
