I'll start...the O-Line needs to gel/react accordingly. Didn't see a lot of improvement from last year. WAY too many sacks. Sacks don't win games.

Burrow would have been sacked a dozen times yesterday with last year’s OL.

Bengals offensive line in Week 1 of each season:
- vs Pitt (2022): 65 pass block snaps, 4 sacks allowed
- vs Minn (2021): 35 pass block snaps, 4 sacks allowed

Stop pretending like this isn't a vastly improved unit.
