Burrow was only healthy for 5 games, only the very dimwitted does not understand the negative impact that has on the offense, especially since he played very well in the 5 games he was healthy and we beat good teams. If you are not capable of grasping this concept I suggest you become a putt putt golf expert instead of NFL message board analyst making insanely odd comments.
There is always an excuse for the offense not getting the job done especially if it has to do with the 55 million dollar injury prone Burrow. When you invest that kind of money into players and the offense, they need to do a better job. Burrow has zero 4th quarter TDs in playoff games in his career. Defense had to score in the Baltimore playoff game last year for the Bengals to win because Burrow and the offense couldn't get it done. The K.C. AFC championship game the defense held K.C. to just 23 which is a lot better than the Eagles did in the Super Bowl. We had a chance to win that championship game in the 4th quarter but the last two drives Burrow throws an interception then takes the team on a 7 play possession and punt. Every year its some excuse, Burrows hamstring, his wrist, his finger, his offensive line, his TEs, his running backs etc... etc... etc.... The Bengals have the 6th highest paid offense in the NFL including the 5th highest paid offensive line. At some point dont you have to stop making excuses and expect more out of your offense?

What point are you even trying to make with this statement? This year even with Burrow's cap hit being 20m, the Bengals are still spending 106 million on offense which is more than they spend on the defense. That is a fact. Guess what happens next year? Burrows cap hit goes up close to 30 million, then it goes to 46 million. Yes Higgins and Chase are making more this year than last year. Next year they will be paid even more. Does this come as a surprise to you?

You simply do not understand how the salaries work...
I understand how it works, it appears you are the one that doesn't. If you take away proven talent like Bates and Bell because you dont want to pay them and you replace them with guys who are not as talented but cheaper like Dax Hill and Nick Scott, you end up with a less talented defense but you saved money. Its pretty simple to understand. Im not sure why you cant grasp it.
