Give it up for the O-line!!

[In Ben We Trust]

What Munchak has done with this unit has been nothing short of sensational. The men in the offensive trenches rarely get the credit they deserve but they were unbelievable tonight.

 

[Wingman]

They have been playing better all year but had a few big gaffs tonight. Pounceys rolling snap surprise, and Fosters attempt at getting an official Bengals jersey were a couple of plays that were potentially very bad in the game.

very clean pocket all night long

That Foster call was marginal at best....

 

[SteelBuckeye]

very clean pocket all night long

Them maintaining that level of play next week will be key

 

[Stryker]

Thanks Foster, for Helping to keep Ben on a long field so he could get the passing record!

 

[Steeltime]

The Bungles repeatedly failed to get pressure rushing four, and inexplicably refused to blitz.

Dumervil and Suggs are much better pass rushers, but this offensive line is simply superb at pass protection right now.

This cannot be overlooked. Ben has so much time back there when it comes to protection then you combine that with the weapons he has and this team certainly has the offensive firepower to give any team in the playoffs a hard time. I personally want the Steelers to have a shot at the ******* Cheatriots! I wanna see our O-line absolutely lay waste to the Pats front 7 and see our Defense gobble up Blount and pound Brady into retirement!

One angle I saw did show him holding in a big way. With that said they did a good job tonight and can continue to improve, they are playing much better than they were earlier in the year. I think those plays will be a topic in the film room and I expect better focus next week than they had this week. I do not think these guys have peaked yet but can continue to improve which might be a really good thing.

 

[Atlsteelers]

I agree with what Munchak has done with the line for sure but staying healthy for the most part has really helped as well.

 

[CharlesDavenport]

Absolutely! Best surprise of the season, next would be the secondary, but the O-line is all of a sudden best in class. Munchak proves that coaching matters big time.

Just got a boner.

What Steeltime said. There were few if any blitzes tonight and made their job a lot easier. If they can do the same against a blitzing defense then I'll be impressed.

Props to the offensive line for what has been accomplished this year, but nothing from today will get major kudos here. The Bengals are terrible at rushing the quarterback and there was no room at all for the ground game. They will need to be at there best next week against a much more physical defensive front seven.
