 With that said I think the coaches hands are tied from up top.

Like I heard someone else say the afc is like the NBA eastern conference,it's just not strong anymore like it once was. Can they beat Pitt at home? Why couldn't they ? Pittsburgh has lost against worse teams then us. But...i really feel like our coach needs to help this team out. You have the worst center,your right guard is sucking . We got no run game,it's the worst it's ever been run blocking. Do you keep telling them to keep practicing ? Do you say oh well if they don't get it done I guess we just lose? It doesn't make no sense.

I feel like if they went for it next game,and got Ross the ball by designed plays , experimented with the line like put in tj Johnson at center, Redman at right guard or westernan.we could potentially go farther then people expect . Call me crazy but I think them moves would get us to the afc championship. And that's putting faith in Dalton also and the coaching staff.

But will they do it? I seriously doubt it. This is why I can't take Marvin Lewis anymore,always playing the wrong guys. I will be ecstatic if he made any of these moves though.

Not THAT optimistic.    I see a COACHING issue. I ain't at practices so... I can't say just WHO is a weak link.. and I fear there's multiple weak links.  GOOD teams? You got TALENT and OVERACHIEVE.  Mediocre..... the talent sucks or you UNDERACHIEVE. I think we UNDERACHIEVE.  

We have  3 rd 2 Rb's. They.. slowly, have becom pretty good. We have OYT's who were rd 1 and 2 and.. are NOT even average. Our superfast  WR, a TOP 10 pick... isn't used.  Our Rd 1 TE... was GOOD.. then can't stay healthy.  Eifort and Hill may both go Free Agent and GONE.  Meanwhile.. our O-Line is NOT okay.  We DID invest draft picks but...the results ain't even " average".  Big question...WHY?
