The 5 year run with zero wins isnt awesome.
The Bengals didn't exactly have a fantastic record before Burrow went down.
They had lost a couple games at least they were expected to win going into the season.\
Maybe after seeing Browning play now the Bengals should have played him over a hobbled Burrow after all early in the season

I’m saying the afc north is better than it was during the 11-15 Dalton years. And that’s because the browns are better now than they were a decade ago
"None of those teams can compete with the top of the NFC"
Not sure the schedules agree...
The Cowboys lost to the Dolphins and were destroyed by the Bills.
The 49ers were 1-3 vs the AFCN.
The Seahawks were 1-3 vs the AFCN.
Lions were decimated by the Ravens
Packers were 2-3 vs the AFC.
The Eagles who have imploded to the Cardinals and Giants the last 2 weeks were good vs the AFC but they are a struggling team.

hey if u think the dolphins, texans, bills, steelers, current chiefs are actual threats to win the bowl? go right ahead
and Lamar is a known playoff choke artist. It's really either gonna be Cleveland or Buffalo in the super bowl. That is how weak the afc is in 2023. Especially with no Rodgers or Burrow playing

We were shit with Burrow for multiple games.
RE: 5 straight - THE PISTONS - 01-08-2024
Extra playoff team now too.

When healthy Burrow was 4-1 and dropped TD away from 5-0 with outstanding stats.
Like I said asterisk.

I dont think I am saying anything, just that the Cowboys had 3 horrendous losses. The Eagles have had terrible losses. The 49ers are likely the best team and they couldnt beat the North. The NFC has their issues as well.
I hope Lamar doesnt win a playoff game.

Will we ever see the 5 straight feat again? If not, how can folks thumb their nose at the accomplishment....

I highly suspect had Burrow not gotten injured at the start and end of this season, we would be sitting at 3 straight right now on our way to breaking that streak. It goes to show how tough Dalton actually was.

Having 5 shots at it is better than 2.
I'll take 2 shots with a bazooka to knock down the Super Bowl target over 5 shots with a rubber band gun.
The one thing I'll say about Dalton is dude was tough. He was fully healthy in every season with us except for the end of 2015 and 2018. In his 7 other seasons with us, he played in every game until we benched him for the tank commander in 2019.

The AFCN owned the 49ers.
Asked 3 weeks ago, I would have agreed with you. That said, the eagles took a huge step back down the stretch.
We will find out in a month.

Don’t forget dalton missed the 2015 playoff game too.

Agreed and ends the thread for me.
RE: 5 straight - TheCincinnatiKid - 01-08-2024
Depends on the value you put into a playoff streak I guess? It was an achievement making the playoffs in 5 straight years for sure, but it really takes something off that when you lose all 5 games. Little point being regular season warriors, even if the feat was impressive enough.
If Burrow recovers well and is able to keep himself on the field, there's absolutely every chance we beat 5 appearances in a row. Far more chance of wins when we get there too.

Marvin's teams missed their shot, 5 times in a row. So, no prize..

I don't think people are thumbing their noses at making the playoffs 5 straight times in a row; I think they're thumbing their nose at losing the first game of the playoffs 5 straight times in a row.
RE: 5 straight - jj22 - 01-08-2024
Yes they are definitely judging the results and not how difficult the feat was.
Should the Bills feat of 4 straight SB mean anything given the loss, yet given how hard that is to accomplish?
