October 1, 20197 yr Author One of only 5 teams remaining with no wins. The Cardinals have no wins but they do have a tie.
October 1, 20197 yr Author We have took first place in one category passing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the most 0-4 starts since the merger. The Bengals now have had a total of 11 years of starting a season at 0-4.
October 1, 20197 yr That was, quite possibly, the worst offensive line performance I have ever witnessed. Could not do anything. Usually you'll see a man or two on a line have a bad night. Or maybe they can run block, but have difficulty pass protecting. Not last night. To a man, nobody got a passing grade on anything. Horrible, horrible, horrible. You could see there at the end, that Dalton was getting ticked, because he knows that there'll be people who lay this loss on his shoulders. But it wouldn't have mattered if you had Tom Brady or Joe Montana back there last night...they'd both be coming away with an L after that line play.

But it wouldn't have mattered if you had Tom Brady or Joe Montana back there last night...they'd both be coming away with an L after that line play. The line play was absolutely horrible. So you are correct no qb would have had a good night. Then when you add in a qb like Dalton who's pocket awareness has never been good, it just adds up to straight embarrassment at all levels.
October 1, 20197 yr I usually try to find the positive, but man that was bad. I don't like giving up, but at this point they need to try to focus on next year. One of the biggest things they should try to do is to trade for Trent William's. I wouldn't give up a 1st round pick next year with the qb class that is coming out. However, at this point I would see if they would do a trade for Green for William's straight up to give Haskins a top wr. If they could get William's and then move Jonah William's to right tackle. Going into next year at least starting offensive line wise they could be decent. This year may suck, but its honestly the year they may need to have. They weren't winning anything with Dalton even if they fixed all the other areas. So they need a year where they are drafting top 5 to get hopefully a franchise changing QB. Then spend the rest of the draft picking more linebackers and more lineman. Which this may be a horrible year, but I think I still like Zac Taylor though. The 49ers two years ago started 0 and 9 under Kyle S. and now they are undefeated and ranked third in the NFL. It just may take time to get the players needed for his system.
October 1, 20197 yr Don't matter who the QB is with an o-line this pathetic. One would have thought if Mike Brown learned anything from his Dad. Success comes from down in the trenches. First player drafted by the Bengals in 1968 was Bob Johnson at center. I'll always be a Bengals fan but good Lord!!
October 1, 20197 yr Things are very bad right now, this is back to some of the baddest of bad. I can’t remember the OL ever being this bad.
October 1, 20197 yr I hate to pile on, but I am not sure Williams will ever be what he looked like when he was drafted. That injury is one of the worst for an offensive lineman.
October 2, 20197 yr Author Nobody ever gave me any opinions on what I asked last night, you go into a draft with what you know is a weak O line AND THE WORST set of LB’s in the NFL and you take a TE with your 2nd pick that has not contributed anything, somebody please explain that to me!!
