Jeremy Hill hanging on to the ball on one carry would not determine whether or not Marv was a good coach or whether he'd still be here.

Let me say that claiming that Marvin Lewis would be here for his 30th year is a facetious take, and even mentioning Jeremy Hill without damning him to hell is taboo on this board.

I'll say that the Chase TD to INT was unfortunate, but in my personal opinion any sort of "Burrow played well enough to win, save for some bad luck" goodwill went out the window when he threw that redzone TD.  I was ready for things to be interesting or even be respectable and within reach but (with bias) I have to say when you mess up on your own accord you lose some of that "bad luck" excuse you once had.

I know one game and one play and so on is very situational and things can go this way and that and have a profound impact on how things look, but still even switching that INT to a TD puts us in the L column and Burrow's stats behind Herbert's so meh...tomorrow is another day.

I'll give you this...that darn sHerbert is REALLY GOOD at throwing the ball high and near his wide receivers. I wish Burrow could do that. 

Can someone ask Mike Brown to draft some tall WRs that run really good so Burrow can do that too?

Wait...i wonder if Orlovsky was talking about the type of game by game, sustainable throws that Burrow made vs the throws that sHerbert made and came to the determination that throwing the ball up to your tall wide receivers isn't going to work week by week for the long term?

So uh, forget about asking Mike Brown for some tall WRs. 

Well, I do love to slag on Mike Brown's GM-ing so the idea that our stacked offense can't compete with the Chargers' WRs bailing out their QB would fit my schema.
