Against CLE he was 14/31 for a spectacular 82 yards. The Seahawks W was completely due to the defense. Burrow was 24/35 for 185 yds, 2 TDs and a pick… mediocre play at best. You’re right that he played wonderful against the 49ers and the Bills, but really that was nothing more than getting the job done on that side of the ball in response to the D getting it done on their end. Joe’s good but not irreplaceable, even though I wish he was.
Bengals defense gave up 206 yards rushing vs the Browns. We had 75 yards rushing.
Bengals defense gave up 173 yards rushing vs the Titans. We had 72 yards rushing.
Bengals defense gave up 544 total yards vs the Texans. We had 66 yards rushing.
The Bengals defense got the job done vs the 49ers only giving up 460 yards....?
Vs the Bills we got the job done with 54 yards rushing?
You have only enforced my take even more. I hope we win out, but this narrative that we are a super solid team and anyone can step into play QB is a farce. Your opinion simply reveals a total lack of understanding of our offensive scheme which depends up on WRs winning every play and Joe making the absolutely correct read and throwing perfect ball. And the defense has been pathetically awful.
Keep your pom poms out all you want, but many of us being realistic are not being a bad fans. This team has a lot to improve upon in order to win some games.
