This loss showed that, even when the team cannot get out of their own way, including 5 consecutive 3 and outs and multiple explosive plays given up by the defense, the team is so good they still SHOULD have won against an ascending team that has a genuine star at QB.

That's not the mark of an average team.

This team is very clearly well above average.

It's just the 1-3 start due to Joe Burrow's injury makes it feel like we have been average when we have actually been terrible, and then elite, and then stumbled here due to a variety of unique factors.

If this was our 2nd loss and we were now 7-2, no one would be calling us average. Unfortunately, we gave away the game to the Browns and Titans early on due to a non-functional offense to start the season, so we are in catch up mode, effectively, for the remainder of the season.
