Why is this offense so bad?

on a play that should have been knocked away. That was a TD because of a stupid decision by a DB that wanted to look like an NBA player blocking a shot and "swatting it away". If he dives with an extended arm like an outfielder trying to catch a ball, it gets easily knocked away or possibly intercepted because the DB did everything right up to that point and the throw was under thrown and bit late. More lucky than good on Burrow's part on that one.

And massive kudos to Chase on that play. One of my biggest complaints about Cincinnati WRs for YEARS is that they run their routes and then stand there or barely float the area while the QB runs for his life. That's where idiots would say stuff like "Dalton needs to make a play". Chase flat out took off. I'm glad to see he was rewarded for his effort and I hope the other receivers learn from that.


Back on topic . . . any answer that doesn't lead with O-line is probably by someone that just watches the ball from snap to whistle. People saying play calling have valid points, but those points become less valid with better o-line play . . . That said, better play calling isn't going to improve this o-line. They're better than last year but not much.

It has been a problem for a long time and their attempts to fix the o-line have been pretty poor
2015 1st Ogbuehi - bust - Seahawk
2015 2nd Fisher - out of football
2016 5th Westerman - out of football
2017 5th Dielman - out of football
2018 1st Price - bust - NYGiant
2018 7th Taylor - out of football
2019 1st Williams - played well recently but still has missed more than he's played
2019 4th Jordan - currently FA
2021 2nd Carman - jury still out
2021 4th Smith - yet to be active
2021 6th Hill - played ST the last three games

How about outside free agency?
2017 - Andre Smith
2018 - Hart
2018 - Andre Smith - in season waiver wire pickup
2020 - XSF
2020 - Spain - in season waiver wire pick up
2021 - Rieff

This is why I was team o-line early and often. I love watching Chase play, but the biggest problem area on this team has been o-line for a long time and they still lightly dusted the position.
