The Bengals allowed the 12th fewest Sacks last year and were tied for the 6th fewest QB Hits allowed. They were also 8th in ypc. I don't really see how an OL that was in the Top 12 in every official measurable statistic can be rated 27th.
BTW, you claim Mixon's output was all about his "individual greatness", but he only had a good 77.8 PFF grade last year.
They allowed a ton of pressures is why they are 27th.
Redmond was one of the worst in the league at guard. Both tackles also struggled giving up a ton of pressures. Price wasnt awful in pass pro but also didnt stand out and struggled with 1vs1 run blocks against IDL. Boling also had a career worst year in pass pro.
That said... they did improve drastically over 2017 which had to be the worst offensive line play I have ever seen.
