They got it done in the red zone and again, they were top 3 in pass-blocking efficiency. Bodine was bad but that's one player. The rest of the offensive line did more than their part. You were able to hide Bodine because the o-line was good. Smith had his struggles but was nowhere near as bad as Ogbuehi was. Yes, Dalton got the ball quickly, but that had to do more with the fact he has one of the fastest releases in the league. You don't want Dalton holding the ball longer than he has to. Let's not lie here. Bengals had a great offensive line in that period and there are many articles out there that said it if the eye test failed you.

I won't be hurt if they don't trade for Rosen. This isn't about hating Dalton. But I'm willing to bet that Rosen will flourish in a different situation and the Bengals will once again look stupid if he only gets away for a 3rd while Dalton leads another disappointing season with the new coaching staff and there will be no Marvin or Bill Lazor to blame.

How does sucked so bad they want him gone in a year equate to will flourish in a different situation?  How often does that happen?  Seems like a leap of faith beyond what reality dictates.

They had a lot of rushing TD's because a crazy amount of them from the five in.  YPC says it all about a run game.  I watched every one of those games in those years and never once thought damn, that is a great line.
