They played decent against a good defensive front, but let's not pretend like they're not a problem.
True, but they are getting better as Burrow gets better which is awesome for all us Bengal fans at this point in the season.
I think we are going to go on a tear similar to last season but hopefully ending in a Lombardi trophy this time around.

I think our line is getting better weekly.. which mirrors last season. It's never going to be elite with its current personnel, but it can be good enough to win the last game of the NFL season.
Nice post IcoHolic. As long as we aren't hit bad with injuries right at the worst time (right before the Playoffs) we should be much
better than last year when our guys went down besides Ted.

To be middle of the pack/borderline top 3rd under these circumstances is an improvement.
Truth Ike. Now we can judge better with a mobile QB how good the OL is.
The Burrow injury tilted the entire Offense where you couldn't really judge much.

Yes sir, the calf strain completely took away his accuracy for large parts of all the first 6 games this season for sure.
