Horrible defense but they are still in it

 Might as well Ross is lost out there.

He hasn't done shit thus far in the NFL. You are here ready to crown him as Football Jesus without earning it just makes you seem like a Jets fan with Mark the "Sanzchise".

Played 6 quarters in the league and already made throws and runs that Dalton never could.

You have to like being a contrarian or be a Dalton honk to not see this dude is awesome.

Agreed.  AJ jumped awkwardly for that.  Maybe he was of balance, I don't know but it was a great pass.

Joe Burrow is having a hell of a game he is the guy. Its up to Duke Tobin to build a championship team around him.

He looked awful. I hope they put price in. He at least looked solid last week

[jfkbengals]

Put Price at RG and bring in a lead blocker into the backfield and we can wear their defense out.

He looks really out of shape. A lot of huffing and puffing. From what I'm seeing, in particular to the last throw, he's extremely out of shape. That was fatigue. Fatigue will easily diminish technique. I'm still worried though. If he's doing this week 4-6 I'd be concerned.

AJ looking rusty. Hopefully it is just rust and he hasn't lost a step. Burrow looks decent. Still some rook mistakes, but it's only his 2nd game. Our D is getting shredded. Doesn't matter if it's 3rd and 2 or 3rd and 22. They get it every time. We need to have a great 2nd half

[Destro]

Between the Steelers and Ravens, Burrow may end up like Greg Cook without some O-line help.

Yeah, he’s ass.

[jj22]

They can't have burrow throw 50 attempts. That's not the winning formula.

Oh, your post...yeah I'd bet my left nut Burrow will be great but lordy if he doesn't break Baker's rookie record I want ZT fired out of a canon AND fired...and then fired out of a canon again.

We need a solid OC. Zac can be HC, but he doesn't need to be OC. The kid is playing fine, considering.

Yeah, F Lebron. 

Hope Burrow becomes great, but there is only so much slurping I can handle while he isn't great yet.

what're u talking about? I only said that because u keep bringing up our old qb for no reason lol

[CardCounterChris]

I mean, I didn't have high expectations for this team this season, but I'm glad to see Burrow playing well. If we can shore up the O line, get a bit better on Defense, and I think we have a legitimate team in a year or two. Takes time to turn things around, but I like what I've seen from Burrow, he operates the two minute drill really well!

Burrow does alot of things Dalton could never do

He has incredible accuracy. He doesn't "throw them open" as they say, he can just put it into some really tight windows. We have a QB.
