The defining play of the season:

4 5:44 3 11 CIN 23 28 28 Trevor Lawrence sacked by Trey Hendrickson for -7 yards

We were 8-3. Hendrickson walks past a gimpy Little and Lawrence is hurt on the play. McManus misses the subsequent FG. We end up in OT, and lose. From that point on, the line appeared worse, Trevor appeared shaken, and the team struggled the rest of the way, ultimately missing the postseason. This was also the game we made Jake Browning look like Pat Mahomes, which said everything that needed to be said about the D.

It summarized the entirety of the year in one miserable sack.

The one play that could have been massive was the bad snap that Lawrence heaved up that Ridley had a chance to haul in. That game had us on the cusp of fighting back and being that same team from 2022, and it all came crumbling down after that ankle injury. It was all downhill from there.

If we win that game? We're in the play-off's easily I think. I am hoping that game is something we see out of Lawrence in 2024 at least seven or eight times. Minus the injury of course. That's the game you expect to see out of a Generational talent and that should be the Gold standard for him moving forward. Just give the kid time. That's all I am asking for this off season. Fix this line. Give him time.

....and here's the lesson to read the entire thread before posting.

Kinda sucks we share the same brain. Quit hogging it, I could use some wisdom every now and again!
