Yes we went 2-1 against Buffalo and K.C. but I think that speaks more to how great a QB Burrow really is even with a weak O-line and also speaks to how good Lou is as the DC. Ultimately though the Bengals lost the game that mattered most because of a subpar O-line, the same as last year. Nobody that has watched this team should be trying to claim the O-line isnt the problem. It should be clear to everyone the O-line is the teams biggest issue that has prevented them from winning 2 Super Bowls.
As far as players, Jonah will make 12.6 million this next season. He is not worth that and should be traded if anybody is interested. That is 12.6 million that could be used toward a legit LT instead of being spent on the guy who leads the NFL in sacks allowed
Collins did pretty good in run blocking but not so well in pass protection. Pass proctection should be the #1 priority. Collins was very inconsistant and then was injured. He will be unavailable for most of next season if not all of it. You absolutely need someone else to play RT because Collins wont be healthy and your only other option right now is Adeniji. You think the Bengals can roll Adeniji out there next year? They need to sign someone better to replace Adeniji for the RT position. If you are going sign an upgrade at RT why keep Collins when he is injured and wont play anyway plus you could save 7.7 million in cap space.
Volson was just a rookie but wasnt that good. I understand being a rookie you cant expect the same level of play as someone who has years of experience and Volson doesnt cost a lot of money but at the same time you have to be honest and say the LG postion play was below average and needs to improve.

Trying to get positve, but watching Mahomes have all day back there and winning another MVP, another Supebowl and hosting 5 consecutive AFCCG's just seems like we will never ever win a Superbowl in my lifetime or maybe ever.
Put whoever you want at QB, our O-line has to be perfectly healthy or it's all down hill.
The thing that bothers me the most and I just can't get out of my head was watching watching our o-line completely suck ass when it mattered the most. It was like nothing changed from the year prior. Watching the Chiefs straight whoop our o-line like they were playing a High School JV team. Just sucks so bad. I really thought this year was it. Nope.
Sorry for the rant. Just sill so disgusted with that Chiefs game and our o-line. And then the whole Bills/NFL bullcrap. Just an absolutely horrible way to end the season.
Not a buyer the OL wasn’t improved until the injuries. We won 10 games in a row and got beat by the SB champs last second with 3 OL starters out. It’s still a huge issue. Not a buyer we need to go spend more money again in FA. We are going to have to get it done in the draft. The money is needed elsewhere .
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
