NFL history is full of great postseason performances that never equated to regular season success. Yup I remember good ol' Dexter Jackson. Didn't he win the SB with the Bucs? Wonder what he's doing these days... RE: Pro Bowl talent all across roster except for Oline and maybe Punter - casear2727 - 03-12-2022 (03-12-2022, 05:23 PM)Soonerpeace Wrote: 14-2? Your premise is correct. A better OL and we definitely win several more games. Really if we can add a running game to this offense it’s going to be ridiculous to defend. Mixon is dynamic in the open field. Just being able to convert third and fourth downs with ease will do wonders. But teams are going to play a lot more dropping 8 against us. We have to respond with punishing them in the run game consequently Excellent take.

But I do believe we'd have had 3 or 4 more wins including the Super Bowl with a decent Oline. Agree completely but sticking to my prediction that we would have won every single game we lost by 3 points with better O-line. Now we may have lost the last game since the Browns had already had their way with us earlier. Think we would have won but will concede the Chargers, and Browns twice. Yet not going to lie, believe the Chargers game may have flipped and the 2nd Browns game as well. Yet will still call those three losses and an 18-3 record. Did not count 2nd Browns game in earlier post but calling it a loss for the sake of argument. Also sticking with both sides of the ball can be fixed this year if O-line is fixed in FA. Just think defensive starters are easier to find at 31 and 63 than O-line players. It's been a long time since the Bengals drafted one this late that was a viable starter and would hate to depend on it in our short window of opportunity. RE: Pro Bowl talent all across roster except for Oline and maybe Punter - Millhouse - 03-13-2022 Definitely no "pro bowl" talent with the oline and Huber. Obviously oline needs upgrades, but Huber should be replaced as well much sooner than later. He had a good career, but he just isnt like he used to be. I also would add TE to this list as well. Uzo is good, but I dont see him as that good tho. RE: Pro Bowl talent all across roster except for Oline and maybe Punter - tms - 03-13-2022 As much as I'm looking to improve the team, I could be tempted into building on the momentum of last year too. They're not necessarily the same. I mean, improve the team by fortifying the OL- specifically by adding proven talent. It goes without saying. But build on the momentum by adding some fun new pieces. Maybe Gronk at TE for example. Or Araiza at P. I don't think Uzomah or Huber held us back in any way whatsoever- in fact they were soldiers. Hats off to both those guys. But i'm not averse to having some fun headlines while we systematically rebuild our actual positions of weakness. This year it looks like the gardens of TE and P would be easiest way to feed that appetite. At the same time, I don't expect changes there at all. Uzo will be re-upped imo and even if Huber goes, Chrisman's waiting in the wings. I doubt ZT and Co. have any plans of fixing what ain't broke. I'm just proposing it as a fan... I wouldn't mind. |
