oh brother

just wait. Its gonna happen again. Dude will meltdown like he normally does

he'll get the MVP

I'll be going with KC, Buff, or Ravens vs. Lions, Vikings or Eagles in the SB.

My longshot SB pick will be Chargers vs. Bucs

Would love nothing more than for you to be right. I hate them almost as much as Pittsburgh.

It is not Andy Ried's job to get Burrow and the Bengals into the playoffs.

 

It has to be annoying to BUrrow, although he's not faultless, Anarumo's defense was trash most of the year. Contrasting with KC scored 30 points zero times this year and were 15-1.

THe NFL seems to be pushing Mahomes getting 3 in a row, I doubt he will get another chance to do it again (?). If it's not KC, BUF, or BAL in the AFC-C it would surprise many I believe.

Reid isn't dumb. He doesn't want to play Burrow. Us not making thr playoffs falls on the team, and mostly Taylor. Just think if we could just go .500 at the start of the season. The 17th game of the season was the only time we had a winning record. The consistency of sucking ass early from Lac Taylor killed us.

Of course the Nets will probably win since the Broncos are in…

Just stat watching now.
Burrow will lead in TD passes and yards….Goff would need 521 yards to over take JB.
Chase looking good for the triple crown. Bowers with zero catches so far and St Brown would need an 18 catch/5 TD night just to tie Chase in those categories.
Only thing possible is if JJ goes off for 220+ yards.

other than flacco's one year, it's a baltimore problem. you could bank on flacco throwing a 4Q int.

i think lamar's probelms in the playoffs is he forgets he runs better than Vick. Allen embraced it this year with so few passing TDs.

Can't say I agree with that. I personally wouldn't go along with it.

I always look forward to Bengals-KC matchups because they're some of the best footballs games you'll see.

Team did poorly, as well. Being a good QB sometimes is not enough. I know the feeling.

100% JJ will try.

Ultimately it's the coach's fault, do the players have any say also? Like I don't like Zac that much either but a more objective person might still look at his 0-2 starts as problematic, how much is it on the players too. We do get out of the gate really slowly, I wonder if Burrow is not firing on all cylinders for the reasons we think or is it something else.

Playing burrow for only 1 quarter here and there in pre-season may not be enough.

Yep. And I just saw that I typed Nets instead of Jets but I think that fits so I am not correcting it…

I haven't watched a lick of the Broncos game, Bo Nix's performance and the score was highly predictable.

But I get the need to look form the dark clouds. 

It’s a terrible place to be. The worst pick of non playoff teams. There’s really not an argument

The furthest thought in reids mind is playing burrow or not...dont let the bengals lil winning streak against marginal teams fool you..coaches with good teams salivate at the thought of facing the bengals defense

Bengals and a zillion other teams in reids position have rested their starters in the last meaningless game of the season

its not a baltimore problem. They went to 3 afc title games with flacco. Flacco performed

its all on Lamar. He's limited as a passer and gets exposed

you cannot excuse a 75.7 career playoff passer rating. You just cant. He is an all time choke artist
