Our last offensive play from scrimmage before punting.  Went back and looked at it with my rudimentary , but trusty , timing device.


Chris Jones beat Adeniji within about 1.7 seconds. Adeniji is flat-footed and Jones just goes around his right shoulder. And about 2.5 seconds after the snap Burrow is in the fetal position going down.

Pretty much a near exact repeat of what Aaron Donald did to Quinton Spain on the Bengals last offensive play in the Super Bowl.


Damned if history doesn't , indeed,  repeat itself !!!!  A couple more seconds and we might be on our way to two straight Lombardis



F***  !!!

interesting I saw Jones talking about the same thing last year , he missed Burrow or KC would have been going to SB last year.. guess this year he was not going to be denied, he played a hell of a game.. I also think smack talk came back to hurt Bengals.. we lost the humbleness....  

Offensive line has been our downfall since we drafted Burrow. Honestly not much else will matter until we have a line that can protect.

Agree 100% .

Nothing like watching an All-Pro dominate your backup all game long, and still not giving him any help.

We had 2 absolutely terrible lineman. 40 some percent of the time Burrow was under pressure and many were under 2.5 seconds.

And people blame the officials.

Jones beat double teams occasionally.

The Chiefs did a great job moving guys around. Sometimes only lining up on edges. Burrow did a sneak against it once.

The Curse of Max Montoya continues

Injuries hurt ask the 49ers and Shanahan with Purdy. 3 OL starters missing will have an impact.

It was our downfall before we drafted Burrow, when did we actually have a good line with a 2-3 top to medium tier  type players ??

Agree but it's hard to argue the point being both teams were tied with seconds to go in the game.

O-line and bad calls were both culprits along with Bates, Hillton and a few other no shows. 

They used Jones to attack the weak spot of our line just like Rams did with Donald in last year’s Super Bowl. Stacked their linemen on one side making it impossible to double him. Jones wins over Adeniji every time. Sad.

That's a failure in coaching preparation and game planning, then. It wasn't like it was some new unforeseen wrinkle the Chiefs invented to throw at the Bengals...

2022-23.

Unfortunately 2 of the 3 got hurt.

Oline has been our downfall since 2016!

Absolutely the no call(s) on the punt return were bad. This same stinking OL was enough to propel them thru KC last year so blaming the OL is fine, as it's just a matter of when it catches up, but they're 2 terrible calls from going to OT.
