A positive today (for me)

Anyone who read the thread comparing him to Brady knows what I'm talking about.

Today he changed my mind a bit. I think this was one of the better games Joe has played.  If not for ZT going soft I think he completes the comeback and this would have been a game we looked back on for a long time for both Joe Burrow and possibly this team.

Some of the throws he made today were incredible and thats while being bombarded on basically every drop back. In the next year or two once (hopefully) we get the line revamped we're going to be really freaking good if we get anything like today's Burrow.

Today really really sucks. But I think we're still about where most of us expected this year to be, even if our expectations changed a bit given how we started. A game like today makes me think year 3, 4, and 5 with Burrow are going to be some of our best.

Sadly this is not a legitimate NFL caliber franchise it is the Bengals. They either have to arrive and make it immediately or they never will. Not quitting is irrelevant and "wait till next year" is the battle cry of people and groups who are failures.
