Did Buffalo do THAT good of a job of adjusting?....
What happened to C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Kroft??? Or even the Mighty Eifert for that matter...?
It seems to me that somebody SHOULD have been open... It seems that way every week... and the O-line did give Dalton more time today than some of the games this season (still not a ton of time).
Is it poorly drawn up routes? Is it bad execution by the receivers? Is Dalton missing open guys? (Not one of Daltons best days today, so maybe)
I guess the lack of running game is really starting to effect the passing situation. teams were still somewhat honest towards the beginning of the year, but there is no reason to respect this run game.
AJ Green draws double-coverage...which enables guys like Lafell and Boyd to get open. The Bengals can't run the ball.
With Green out and the pass-catching threat of Bernard out...defenses are going to do their best to take Eifert out of games and a guy like Lafell will struggle mightily as a #1.
AJ Green makes every skill player on offense better and the only way to absorb his loss would be to run the ball...which we can't do.
