Could be the Oline, but the enthusiasm, energy, and swagger just isn't there on Offense or Defense. I haven't seen any fire or "will" to win since the JETS game where even under heavy pressure the offense still dictated to the defense and did what they wanted to do. This is where we miss Hue, Hills celebrations, Burfict, Sanu's physicality and MLJ threat to go deep any given play.
You win and lose in the trenches.....we're getting our collective asses kicked up front....both units, really.

Yeah, he has taken a beating....he has literally had his helmet knocked off of his head, three times. It should have been a penalty at NYJ, but nonetheless, he's getting killed. If not for his mobility and 40 yards worth of scrambling yesterday, those numbers could be even worse.
