btw, while we're finding a new play caller, lets get a new Oline coach.

Zac Taylor without Joe Burrow ......

4 wins
28 LOSSES
1 Tie

So how do we resolve this reality?

Well true. But I think you may have overlooked the obvious. Burrow is hiding Zac's (and coaching staff's) serious deficiencies. One dead monkey should not stop the circus. In this case, we evidently suck without Burrow even though we have the same talent on the field.

I'm not in the fire Zach boat, I don't think he's a bad coach. However I do have issues with some of the staff and unfortunately that does fall down on the HC. I don't question as much of the play calling as some folks because I look at it a little differently maybe. Right or wrong that's just my outlook, however I have growing concerns about our O-line and no matter who we bring in it seems to not be getting a whole lot better. We haven't developed a draft pick O-linemen in a very long time. I do but I don't put that on Zach, sometimes it's very hard to see issues when you can't see outside of the situation because you're stuck in the middle of it.

Meat your question on OL got me thinking when was the last time they drafted/developed a good OL. Well had to go all the way back 11 drafts to 2012. Since the Zeitler pick Williams is the only one you could say is NFL starter quality (below average stater but one of top 64 T in NFL).

Warning the below list will make you sick to your stomach.

Year round player
2022 4 Cordell Volson
2021 6 Trey Hill
2020 6 Hakeem Adeniji
2019 1 Jonah Williams
2019 4 Michael Jordan
2018 1 Billy Price
2018 7 Rod Taylor
2017 5 JJ Dielman
2016 5 Christian Westerman
2015 1 Cedric Ogbuehi
2015 2 Jake Fisher
2014 4 Russell Bodine
2013 5 Tanner Hawkinson
2013 7 Reid Fragel
2012 1 Kevin Zeitler

Keep drafting your skill players and get your Oline via free agency.
I was crazy back when being crazy really meant something.

The problem there is, we haven't been great in FA either!

Just checking in to see how everyone's doing?

I can honestly say I haven't watched an NFL game since Burrow got injured. I haven't watched a highlight, seen a score or listened to a single down on the radio.

And I can also honestly say I haven't missed it.

I have no idea who's won, who's lost, who's been injured or who's made a great play. I don't know who's moved into first place or who's fallen to last place. I have no clue and I don't care.

Like I've said before; I love pro football but I HATE the NFL!

I did however, watch the Grey Cup from Canada a few Sunday's back and it was one of the best sports watching experiences I've had in several years.

The pre-game band was some group I've never heard of but they set up in the parking lot of the stadium and just played music. The crowd sang along and everyone seemed to have a great time. The half-time band was Green Day (Naturally). A stage was set up in one end zone and the band played four or five of their songs. Just like the versions on the radio. No extra long guitar riffs, no virtue signaling, no one smashed their guitar after the set was over, no one shouted out any political message. No one tore off their own or anyone else's clothing, no elaborate background set pieces, no dancing sharks. Just a short concert of their hits. That's it. The crowd loved it!

As for the game, it was spectacular. The underdog Montreal Alouettes scored the winning TD on a long pass with 11 seconds remaining to beat the heavily favored Winnipeg Blue Bombers. No phantom holding calls at the last moment to alter the game. No purely subjective roughing the quarterback calls to swing the momentum. No questionable PI calls to artificially keep a drive alive. And most importantly, no targeting calls that cost a player or team a huge penalty at a critical moment.

After the game the crowd cheered and ultimately left peacefully. No fights, nobody got beat up or knifed and the camera didn't pan up to some celebrity in the booth four or five times. Just good old fashioned football. It was like watching an NFL game from the 80s or 90s again. It reminded me why I fell in love with the game of football as a kid.

I've followed the CFL since I first got cable TV back in the mid-80s and games like this are the reason. Its just football without all the nonsense and corporate greed that's ruining the NFL.

Imagine that!

I don't expect I'll watch any more NFL games this season, least of all till the play-offs start. Then maybe just to see some team I hate get beat.

I'll check back in when the draft threads start, earlier than usual this season sadly. But then, we're Bungal fans, we're used to it...
