I just heard Ken Broo say that Michael Jordan is down with an "illness", not COVID.

Well, we have been saying the offensive line sucks all season, and now the entire line will have been replaced. Ugh.

lol four backup o lineman on one of the worst o lines in football... what could go wrong?!

Incoming best PFF O-line performance of the year?!

Shaq Calhoun getting the start at LG.

This means the offensive line will be Adeniji, Calhoun, Price, Redmond, and Johnson. Fortunately due to the wind the Bengals should be running the ball most of the time.

No way Spain starts.

Poor Joe, poor offense, goodness gracious. This is just pitiful, man.

They should also be crowding the LOS and run blitzing with LBs and Safeties in the A gap.

They should also be playing Ross over Thomas.

They should also be giving some carries to Traveyon Williams.

They should be playing with an extra lineman and rushing the ball against this defense.


Think they will do any of this?  Me neither.  It is either a tank job, or they literally think doing the opposite of what is logical will somehow results in a Costanza-like positive.  

"Hello, my name is George, I am unemployed and live with my parents"-  Hot woman totally interested.

"Hello, we are the Bengals and we are going to employ defense by France (run the other way with our arms waving in the air)" _  Tannehill fumbles five times without being touched?  Seems likely.  

What a year.

Lost me here. Ross provides nothing special over Thomas. Thomas does everything Ross does and plays ST. 

Man that sure is a patchwork Oline.

Well this should be interesting...

Better be rotating all 3 backs today because they should be getting a lot of carries.

Exactly, Murdock! This is NOT the game for Joe Burrow to pass 50 times!

On que, the bengals pass the ball 60 times. 

We have no business winning this game. Our defense is atrocious. Would our offensive line even start on a college team?

So there's only 2 backup linemen and one of them was just signed three days ago???

Thomas does not take the top off a defense.  Not remotely.  Say what you will about Ross's drops, but the guys underneath ate very well when Ross was going vertical.  I STILL can't understand why they never screen the guy.
