I was at the game today, and had a wonderful afternoon. The team looked like dog shit, but it's a good day to be alive.

I'd give it a go as your lead blocker...

Nice to see some positivity on here

He is upset, too. Some players have the heart and fire to win. I saw some today seem like they rather be home instead of playing football. If you ever busted your ass at work and watched a bunch of other coworkers under perform, not pull their weight, generally suck at everything, then you understand. You get home, have a drink, play with the dogs/kids, and let it go. He likely did the same. I'm not mad.

I will say, I was slammed for saying Mixon may one day pull a Dillon, a la shoulders pads, but now some can see it.

The stadium looked quite empty and seemed to favor the 49ers. I do not think the players and ZT et al. know fully what they are dealing with in terms of the Bengals fan-base.

The fans of this franchise has been through hell for over 30 years. Lewis brought back some capital but now that capital is gone.

49ers had the #1 rated pass blocking OL in Week 1 (at least according to PFF).

Doesn't matter how good a DL is when it comes to the run if the LBs are absolute crap. At the end of the day the O has 5 OL, and a TE, a FB, or both all blocking... and the DL has 4 guys. That's when the LBs need to do their job.

Mixon posted an apology to fans on Instagram. He said he’s sorry for his performance the past two weeks and will do better.

You mean the board that gets shut down during games because immature assholes can't contain their emotions? Why should we give him slack? If he really wanted a measured response, he should install a three hour window of "not allowed to comment" after games.

Plus, he was trying to improve the team. If a fan that can "do better" shows up with blocking skills, win-win.

Overreact much? Maybe you should give yourself a one-week window for replying

I dont really understand why Mixon feels like he needs to apologize anyway. Adrian Peterson in his prime couldn't muster up 50 yards behind this O-line

There it is!  2 games in and we've already resorted to the "INSERT HOF PLAYER" couldn't succeed here, statements.  Ha, I love it. 

Brady couldn't play behind this o-line, Adrian Peterson couldn't run behind it, Bill Bellichick couldn't win under Mike Brown, and Jimi Hendrix couldn't even play this crappy guitar I have and it's not my fault because it's the guitar's FAULT!!!!!

Blame the hammer not the carpenter.

Sounds like the fans and players are in mid season form.
