Cant disagree either. Geno and Dunlap are getting a lot of double teams, as MJ is a far cry from his 'one hit wonder' season. Clark and Hunt have done a good job for their roles. Peko is Peko, and should have been canned after that personal foul in the playoff game when he came on the field from the sidelines.
The o-line is nothing special obviously. They cant dominate in run blocking, they cant dominate in pass blocking. Zeitler doesnt deserve a DeCastro sized contract. Boling is looking good. Ced is looking good for the future. Whit is aging but still good. Bodine is weakest link at the second maybe most important position of the 5 lineman.
Basically, the Bengals did absolutely nothing in upgrading the trenches this last off-season or in preseason. As they are rolling out the same ones from last year for the most part. Unless they somehow turn it around, the OP is right, we will never beat the upper leveled teams (unless its a fluke), especially in the playoffs.
