no real experience from anything other than practice.

Offensive-minded? Could have fooled me.

The right side of the OL was my biggest concern coming into the season, and I feel no better so far.

The nfl really could speed the game up by going to commercial break while they sort out an infraction. Ridiculous we have to wait through that then go to a commercial break

I don’t know what people are expecting, but with no pre season, you can’t expect Joe to line up in the NFL and just start hurling the ball all over the field. Especially with a suspect line.

At least he stopped at a hug.

I'm not expecting either team to look like Chiefs or Ravens...more preseason looking

I was on the edge of my seat for the penalty during ST.

I love Burrow's "never give up in the face of pressure" attitude. It's literally what made him famous in college.

But it's harder in the NFL. He's going to have to give up on a few plays here and there.

[*Awful Llama*]

That was ugly.

[Destro]

Would be nice to know the best O lineman in the draft, but since so many colleges opt out, we may get screwed on that.

Ida know, if Gardner Menshew can win so can Burrow.

[BrownAssClown]

Now Joe looks rattled, Thanks oline.

[*Synric*]

Horrible play designs. I mean horrible.

[Nicomo Cosca]

Well...we look horrible.

Burrow doesnt trust the line. He looks scared.

The oline has buckled and Burrow making rookie throws.

[Joelist]

That series was embarrassing.
