Ben got pressured way more then Dalton did during the game at Pitt. The difference was they made big plays down the field and the Bengals couldn't he open. Siemien was hit and had pressure during the game too, but they made plays down the field.
The Bengals problem is their run game blows and they don't have anyone who can get open down the field right now. I agree the lines have both been weak, but stop acting like Dalton is the only person facing pressure. Outside of one game by a few people, the offense as a whole has been bad, even when Andy does have time.
We're suppose to have one of the top lines, instead we're tied for last. That's different than a QB getting pressured and sacked some.
The running game problems are on the line. We have lots of people who can get down field, starting with AJ Green and including LaFell, Boyd and Bernard. But if the QB is on his ass before they can get 20 yards down field, there's little point in running multiple guys on deep routes.
Giving up sacks on consecutive plays, then getting called for a hold on the 3rd play to take the team out of field goal range right after a turnover is rather wimpy, if not down right little girly like.
Oh, here they are, I found a gif of our OL.
