Shula won meaningless year-end games too...

Interestingly, we beat Jax and Pitt with mainly run heavy offenses.

The problem is, the guard play across the board was worse than the tackle play especially in 1st half of year regardless who we played.. there was very few options and i don;t buy too many passes,  for three very accurate reasons.  1.  We had trouble running..  2.  We were behind most games so we would throw more  3. The change in passing style in the NFL , today quick passing is like replacing 5 to 10 runs a game.. think about it how many pitch sweeps do you even seen in todays game? it is not just a Cincinnati thing.. it is a league thing.
