Anyone care to take a stab at where the Bengals have stood in the "With the game on the line" stat over the years? I'm guessing it ain't been pretty..
You know... I'm going to actually disagree with you here, since we're talking mostly about the offensive line here.
Assuming by "with the game on the line" you mean "one drive to win it", I have a ton more faith in Andy and the offense than I do our defense. Offensively they've proven that in a close game if they need a score, they can go get it (Indy and Atlanta last year, Baltimore two years ago). Put the defense on the field in the same situation and they blow it a lot (Pittsburgh, LA, Pittsburgh 2 years ago, Pittsburgh 3 years ago, Pittsburgh pretty much every year...)
