[Trademark]

Riley Reiff is likely done for the year according to Zac Taylor. Ankle was getting worse, not better.

And the season is starting to go down hill....One of the best linemen on the team gone for the rest of the year....

There is a big drop off at certain positions between the intended starters and their backups.
OT is definitely one of them.

Fred Johnson will start in his place this week with Isaiah Prince still sick

You're up Carman...

The loss of the Bookend Tackles Williams and Reiff protecting Burrow is Bad News for Bengals play-off hopes.

nothing has happened to Jonah...he is starting on Sunday

[Clark W Griswold]

On Sunday Sample is going to have to do what he was drafted to do - block.
They are going to have to help Johnson out big time or Burrow is going to get crushed back there.

Thoughts and prayers to Burrow

Up to playcalling to get the receivers open quicker on shorter routes so that the OL doesn't have to block as long.

Doggone it. That sucks.

Oh boy can’t wait to watch that 2020 offense back in action!

[*Nate (formerly eliminate08)*]

Shit. Well, I was still holding out hope that we at least make the Playoffs but now I need to just hope one of our backups
doesn't keep this from happening. Need either D'Ante Smith, Carman or Prince to step up and play very good or we aren't
going anywhere. This really sucks man.

Pollack needs to work some magic big time.

Well I mean what do you expect?
Either the team tries to reduce the time that the OL needs to block or they don't and have higher risk of getting sacked because backup players are in.

I’m gonna need a heavy dose of Mixon. Particularly to the left side of the line behind Jonah and Spain

Have to establish the run. That’s priority number 1

Carman is not up. He was not drafted to play tackle, he was drafted to play guard. Fred Johnson is up, and if necessary they will move Adeniji out to tackle.

Last report was Prince out with an illness and Fred Johnson starting at RT

Well yes, but you can't call all run plays lol.
Also, Denver has the #2 scoring defense and the 7th in yards allowed.
They are 10th in rushing yards allowed and 2nd in rushing TDs allowed.

I won't be surprised if this is a low scoring game.
