But Burrow no longer has his source of power

If the offense can click...yeah we can run off wins.

Imagine how much trouble they'll have fielding a team when Burrow makes $40 million a year. Assuming he starts to play like it.
Joes play this year is not worth 40 million

I mean they put a lot of money in free agency and the line still sucks. It is really frustrating as hell as a fan to see the team trying and still falling short.
Last week wasn't a great day for the line, but it wasn't nearly as bad as some thought. This week, there's just no way around it...they stunk from start to finish. Just getting beat off the ball routinely and allowing constant penetration.

Basically gotta go at least 10-5 from here on if we lose today. And if we lose, we'll have lost to two really bad offences. Ol' man Joe Flacco might Mike White us next week!
I saw a decent amount of the Jets browns game earlier on redzone. The Jets look decent on offense or at least they did today. I think we are in trouble.

That's the troubling part.
Could Zac ruin him? Could all the hits and sacks?

On runs too.
I think the issue last week was 100 plays and people remembered the pressure.

Gonna call it a night.
Season is only 2 weeks old, but it’s been a pretty awful 2 weeks.
Burrow will play better and the D will remain good, but they’re going to have to overcome Taylor’s calls and game management. Not an easy thing to do.
Hopefully they’ll tame the Ghost of Joe Flacco next week.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

When did we last have a remotely decent O-Line? At some point we have to realise the players aren't the problem.
The Bengals historically have had really good o-lines. Just not recently. I still remember Mike Brown saying a few years ago, "why should I pay blockers?" as he let guys like Whitworth and Zeitler walk.

Like this has to be a coaching problem. Like, these players except for Volson are good and very good players. What is Pollack doing?

The 90s was largely causes by horrible offensive lines.

For those of you with the benefit of a DVR, Re-watch the game. The O-line looks even worse if you focus only on them.
Burrow played badly, as well, without any doubt. O-line was just so, so bad.

Karras, Kappa and Collins are not wide zone players. Neither really are Volson or Jonah. All of them are much better physically suited to more of an angled drive block scheme that attacks the defense instead of waiting back for the defense.

If the Jets are even competent on offense they will get enough extra possessions from us to score enough points to win.
Our offense right now is basically non existent

3rd and 3, Burrow had a choice, throw out to Boyd and scan the field.. he choose Boyd.. the ball is in his hands not our coaches hands... im not staying not to throw to Boyd but Burrow is in control there

And let me guess…..our runs and passes have been more of the types of plays where we wait for the lineman to come to us?
