TB?
regardless, whether they're 'exactly the same' isn't really the point. The point is that losing more than half your starting OL will make a difference in how well your offense executes, n'est-ce pas?
CIN went into the AFFCG last year without the OL they had when they played us in the regular season, fact. it probably made a real difference in how they executed.
Just as losing 4/5 of our OL in 2020 changed how our offense operated. Fine, maybe not in exactly the same way, but in both cases the loss of several starters on the OL hurt each team's ability to execute as well as they did when they had those starters.
