You can't have all all pro bowler team, it's just impossible. So you have to build around your strength, ours is Joe Burrow. Get him a real line and watch it unfold.
I'm not saying totally ignore the D. However you basically have to choose one or the other ( O od D ) it's hard to have both be top 10 units.
Get an Oline, a real Oline and things will change.
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.
