Put your hand up if you think we don't need at least two starting quality O-linemen. As for free agents, not sure what we can afford. I sure as hell don't want another Saffold.

If we beef up the O line then yes, we are still vastly superior at the most important position.

Buscaglia you're a real party pooper.

I blame the Mexican immigrant with no green card who polishes the floors - never liked that guy.

This may well be a valid contributing factor as to why we were soundly beaten but really, it's a distant third on the reasons why we lost list, the first two being soft play on both sides of the LOS and coaching / preparation.

Sounds good Gooner! I would also like you to expand that topic on O-line draftees which you opened before Christmas. I'll dig it out later.

What I don't get is how we all see it - and have seen it for the past 2-3 years - but they don't. It's irritating and perplexing beyond belief.

I would say that Singletary is a good RB and could be even better behind a proper run blocking OL - so I disagree with you slightly on his assessment. The rest of your analysis is, sadly, bang on the money. The picks used on all these guys have been wasted. Only the 3rd rounder used in the trade for Kelvin Benjamin can be considered a bigger waste IMO.

Your analysis is completely validated, but only on the proviso that: - He demonstrates that he is serious about making changes, either at the DC or OC position, as well as perhaps the DL coach - He (along with BB) heavily prioritises the offense at both the draft and free agency I think he has earned the right to try and fix what is broken.

Yep. Our six-man O-line couldn't withstand a three-man pass rush. And thus Knox is wasted. Barf.

Guy might be a scumbag but as the old saying goes -winners are grinners and the losers can please themselves.

I have been fairly consistent with my thoughts on McD - the best NFL coach with regards to establishing a team-first culture and setting standards, but questionable as a game-day coach and as a sounding board when it comes to drafting and trading. That said, it sounded to me like his exit interview was full of accountability. Yes, there were some cliches and platitudes, but for the most part I thought it sounded very genuine. I certainly don't think he has deserved some of the vitriol he has copped from some here, even though the buck stops with him. My gut feeling based on his comments is that some big changes are coming.

If Subway ever decides to launch a new high-fat, low-energy sandwich with all the bad stuff like ham, baloney, salami, pepperoni, roast pork, bacon and then drench it in ranch and greasy cheese then I would propose that it should be called "the Saffold". The finishing touch would be that instead of a napkin they give you a roll of toilet paper because they darn well know that it is going to give you the sh*ts!

Yep. The crowd was every bit as embarrassing as the Bills. When a lift was needed, it never came. When we needed a deafening noise to at least try to put Burrow off his game even a little, it didn't happen. A limp-wristed effort all round.

Still can't get over this limp-wristed effort....stepped into the ring without virtually throwing a punch in anger. Sickening.

...and the fans at the stadium who, quite frankly, were as p*ss poor as the team and coaching staff.

I am full of alcohol.and.it.is.just after lunchtime in my neck of the woods so you might be right. I just ask that you cut me.some.slack.as i am uber depressed.

If we are going to be realistic, the scoreline flattered us big time. And this one is also on Beane - he has not nailed a single defensive draft pick, whilst criminally neglecting the O-line. There is obviously an element of bad luck with the injuries to Von and Micah, but that should have been offset by the weakened Bengals O-line. What a depressing end to what was a promising season.

Just woke up, it's going to be a beautiful day, I can feel it.

Can I shoot the alligator between the eyes before wrestling with it?

That table says that both Ed and DaQuon are equal third!!

Dawson Knox to have a 100-yard, 2 TD game

Would we be laughing if he somehow managed to bring Rodgers with him?

I take it that Torell was not an 8-time All-Pro, yeah?
