They know they need to make up for not letting the Bills advance. Especially after he offered not a word of complaint, that we know of. He took the loss as graciously as a person could. Not sure if that made them feel better or worse, but I bet it made them even more motivated to make it up to him. He played his guts out and teed it up for them.

But many other QBs could have executed those TD throws they both made. I don't agree with this at all. In those key moments, in a pressure packed environment what those two did was nothing short of phenomenal. We have of course seen a lot of other great QB play but to trade such heavy weight punches is not common. They raised the level of quarterbacking and there must bea lot of teams around the league who are very worried 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't necessarily translate to achieving what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Another example of why the Bengals were smart to take Chase over Sewell in the 1st round last year. Good starting OL can be found in free agency every year. Top tier WRs like Chase are hard to come by. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would spend 3 picks on interior linemen, starting in the 1st round. When you have a generational talent at QB, you better do everything you can to (1) build the best line possible in front of him, and (2) keep as many good skill players around him as possible.

Good starting OL can be found in free agency every year. Top tier WRs like Chase are hard to come by. Except... Best WR in football, Adams was just acquired by the Raiders in free agency. Amari Cooper acquired by trade. JuJu signed in FA. Diggs acquired via trade. Hopkins changed teams two years ago. Added the bust rate for WR is 11 percentage points higher than an OT (30.3% vs 19.0%) Conversely the All-Pro and Pro-Bowl rate for first round OT's is 4-7 percentage points higher than WR. Further the success/bust rates for interior linemen in the first round is even better than OT. So basically, you are better off drafting OL in the first round and finding your star WR via FA or trade. 13 minutes ago, billsfan1959 said: I would spend 3 picks on interior linemen, starting in the 1st round.

While that sounds good, what do you do at CB? I agree they should address OL in top 3 rounds but they need CB and WR too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose Bates, we'll have to take a guy by the 3rd round at the latest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if Williams is still there but I would bet they go defense in the first yet again and draft a CB…. They are a defense oriented regime at the expense of the offense. McD already hinted at them being able to find a WR later in the draft so I wouldn’t be surprised if their first two picks are CB and IOL…. I'd love a WR like Rahan Dotson in Round 1. As could be a slot guy early on and possible successor to Diggs long term. Edited March 21, 2022 by The Jokeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea they’ve done a good job, it’s been painfully obvious even though Burrow possesses many excellent traits, ability to work behind a subpar line isn’t one of them.

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Sounds like Joey B is taking his destiny into his own hands with all this personal recruiting. If you can’t even sniff Burrow…really no secondary has a shot of stopping their passing attack.

If we lose Ricky Bates, we're down to Cody Ford and the assistant coaches, with an aging Stafford on the other side ready to pull up lame at any point.
