    If our OL had 5 players as good as Tunsil we would've won 15 games this season and been superbowl favorites.

    I'm rooting for Las Vegas. The Chargers and Steelers are pretty comparable to one another but Pittsburgh is really struggling, having lost 4 in a row. If there's an AFC team that's limping into the playoffs more than us (although today's Texans game was a spirit lifter), it's Pittsburgh. So Las Vegas wins, Chargers lose, we play Pittsburgh in the first round.

    When it comes to the playoffs, they say look to the QBs and head coach. Chargers have the advantage in both respects right now with Herbert and Harbaugh. They are the worst matchup for us in my opinion.

    Last year our matchup was against a fossil Joe Flacco and an inexperienced coach. Demeco was also inexperienced but we had the QB advantage.

    Pittsburgh has had bad QB play right now, they'd have to rely on TJ feasting on this crap O Line and the Slowik factor.

    I'd prefer Pittsburgh but let's face it, we're in trouble regardless.

    LOL. If we had Burrows or Josh Allen or Jackson and Barkley or Henry we might have won 15 games too. Seriously though, why has it been damn near impossible for us to have a top 5 Offensive Line?

    Our second string players are better than Kansas City's.

    How many of those teams have never had one in 22 years?

    I'd argue that Duane Brown, Wade Smith, Chris Myers, Mike Briesel, and Eric Winston was a Top 5 line or close to it.

    I hate to say it, but we’re gonna be obliterated by the Chargers. It’s gonna be bad.

    Seems like ages. That was before Call took over. No great O Line since.

    The Chargers arent that good...lol. Solid team. Very beatable. I remember everyone was sure that the Browns would wipe the floor with the Texans last season in the playoffs.
