Well, they sure as hell don’t have an OL

oline looks terrible and so does the defense. Cindy will be drafting top 5 again in the draft.

Cincy has the worst OL I've seen since Derek Carr was qb for the Texans.

Hell, they had 1st and goal inches from the goal line and had to kick a FG.

Mixon had 40 yards receiving midway through the 2nd quarter. He didn't have much room to run but was productive at times in the passing game.

He didn't catch any more passes, partially because Bernard was on the field more in the 2nd half.

My fantasy league gives 5 bonus points for 50+ yards in secondary categories (i.e. running backs with 50+ receiving) so I was watching this part of it more closely than usual.

With the problems on the OL, Burrow will need Mixon to be productive for survival alone, whether that's running the ball or catching short passes.

Definitely not on him. Read earlier that he was hit at or behind the line of scrimmage on 50% of his runs last night. That is atrocious

I believe I heard a stat this morning in Columbus radio that Burrow took 26
hits. Bengals have to establish the run. He can’t throw it 61 times. That’s a recipe for disaster. He’s not playing against any Big 12 defenses. Steelers twice, Ravens twice, Redskins. Browns again. All very good D lines. He won’t survive the season. Bad NFL teams often are only good at ruining good QBs, and I’d hate to see that happen to Burrow.

or a D line. If they don't find some defense soon and keep having to become one dimensional on offense due to playing from behind, Joe will continue to get pounded.

There's a reason the Bengals had the #1 pick in the draft. They sucked!

It is painfully obvious to everyone that knows anything about the Bengals is that they have the worst O-line in the NFL.

Mixon is a really good RB, but you can't establish the rush when your O-line sucks and you are playing from behind the entire game. The ONLY reason the Bengals were in the game at all is the Superman performance of Joe Burrow.

Burrow, unfortunately, is going to be hit and harassed all season. It is what it is with that Oline.

Mixon is a good back. There is no holes like you said. That oline will take years to fix IMO

The issue isn’t RB, it’s offensive line and the entire defense. They got down by 2 scores, so needed to throw more.

Thought Drew Sample the TE looked good for Cincy, could use some upgrades at WR. OL definitely needs more talent, but the Cincy D gave up way too many big plays keeping Cincy in the hole the entire game, + the stops the Browns made on D. Mixon looked good overall but he and Joe B aren't going to survive with current OL play and playing from behind every game.

Mixon is one of the best in the league behind arguably the worst OL in the league.

You tend to throw more when you’re losing.

They can't pass or run black, but might as well try to quick pass.


Golic jr on espn radio said last night that the bengals will be dangerous once they get burrow a deep threat we.
That won’t matter because he won’t have time to throw it deep.

They damn sure ain't got an offensive line. Burrow is gonna take a beating this year. They will definitely be picking o-linemen in the next draft.

Yeah they have to build that offensive line, but they definitely need some more weapons for Burrow.
