The Trenches win games.

Fan Since the 70s said:
Where is the the objective evidence that games are won in the trenches? That may be the conventional wisdom, but conventional wisdom is often wrong. It's entirely possible that the most common outcome in the trenches is more or less a stalemate, where both lines simply neutralize each other, and the other players on the field make the difference.

I think there are plenty of times in the NFL....specifically late in the season when the weather is bad and cold, that Offensive Line play can certainly win games for you

Having a line that can give your QB time in the passing game is clearly important, but being able to run the ball when the elements take away an aggressive passing attack and being able to run the ball when you need to hold on to possession in a tight game are certainly elements that can win games for you

It isn't every game, but the idea that this isn't a critical part of a teams success isn't right either
 
So...right now, our starting o-line consists of oft-injured Armsted, Eich (yuck!!!), Meyer (who?), Jones (one of the ones that sucked at the end of last season) and Jackson (who had been below average until his contract year)

Chop has just started his nfl career and already people here are calling him a bust.
Zero nfl real games played and people want him to play like Cameron Wake .
Come on ,we can expect him to be a 4rd down rusher while learning to be a 3 down player.

Be careful. Some posters will remind you about how tired they are of hearing fans be excited about edge rushers for the past twelve years.

After all, they remember Dion Jordan. They know who they are.

Personally, I’m just waiting for the first handoff so I can watch Chop Robinson spontaneously combust.

Because their defense forced 8 turnovers in their playoff run. They then lost because of their oline....( Tannehill threw 3 int btw )

Burrow was very much along for the ride in 21 and 22. In fact burrow almost lost to Tyler Huntley in the playoffs but his defense scored a 99 yd td. He then got to face a bills team with an injured Allen ( torn elbow) and no Von Miller.... We literally almost beat buffalo as they were absolutely decimated compared to the team they were earlier. In fact we have only beat buffalo week 3 in 22 when their entire team was hurt lol

Joe " cool" then threw 2 int and lost to KC scoring just 20 pts against a bunch of rookies in the KC secondary

He's good but for whatever reason ppl have burrow as this elite QB when he not. It's extremely weird. I think burrow has a losing record vs Lamar if I'm not mistaken
