I was so excited about the fixed OL. So frustrating, how do other teams keep that unit healthy?

Can't watch..... So far I don't feel like I've lost anything.

You’re lucky

Cincy D really must stink.  A lot.

We started most of our drives near midfield last week. Too many weak spots on the o line to start drives inside the ten 

[Parfigliano]

Special teams gets in on the dumb penalty parade

So far the Oline seems to be getting beat on stunts and delayed blitzs. Seems that’s likely to be more of a product of a smart defensive mind as much as it is talented players. 

[Aggies7]

Looks like we’ve completely abandoned the run 

[nicksaviking]

Right through Addison hands.

[Aggies7]

Fortunate 

[Aggies7]

Wentz is taking a ****ing beating 

[Parfigliano]

Wheels Wentz

[Vanimal46]

Kelly’s gotta retire before his brain becomes too scrambled 

[Aggies7]

We’re cooked. Can’t protect. Cant block. 

[Parfigliano]

O line backups getting pounded and that INT probably game.

[Mike Sixel]

Hard to win with no starting OL....

[Aggies7]

It would be nice if Van ginkel could stay on the field.

Yeah, I want to be mad at somebody, but hard to point any fingers. The front office went all in trying to fix the OL.

And you can't expect three back ups to be good enough to win. Otherwise they wouldn't be backups.

And a bad QB. I see on another site people blaming koc.... This isn't on the coach.

Some of the guys we expected to play haven’t been great either. Hockenson totally whiffed on a block last drive 

[nicksaviking]

Stupid fantasy apps spoiling the game. My streaming is at least two plays behind.

They better find a way because it appears at minimum they are going to be down 2 OL starters for the foreseeable future

I like when someone asks me to play fantasy sports as if my own teams don’t make me sad enough

I don't like the OL coach. Lineman also have no idea what they're doing out in space. This team has to be the worst at running screen passes; the big guys seem to never know where to be or who to block.

[Aggies7]

Of course there’s a holding penalty. Very undisciplined this year

Ha, my fantasy teams do WAAAAY better than my favorite real team.

Broken screens have been a Vike tradition for years

I was ready to trade him in the off season, but I get why they didn't. Looked like a great trade for some time......

There complete inability to develop OL picked in the mid to late rounds needs to be addressed. Or, really, any players not picked early. 

[Vanimal46]

Shocked, shocked I tell you that Wentz turned back into a pumpkin 

[Aggies7]

I thought we had an innovative offensive coach and we’re trying to throw 50 yards down field when we can’t block anyone
