This is our total Tds for Burrow and Mixon in 1st quarter 4 TDs.. average that out for a season if you did just 1st quarter, Burrow would have around 12 TDs and Mixon would have around 4 TDs, that is a receipt for having to come behind too much.... We are 5-1 under 30 attempts this year, 2-5 over.... enough said.. lets get the lead over the majority of the next 4 games and I believe we will go 3-1. If we continue the way we have been playing in 1st quarter probably looking at 1-3, maybe 2-2
That’s not how passing works. You’re trying to say if we throw the ball less than 30 times that it is a fact that we win more but you’re leaving out other possibilities of a pass play, such as a sack or scramble. If Burrow drops back, it is a pass play and sacks/scrambles are results of a pass play. There is no correlation to the Bengals winning more if they attempt less than 30 passes. Burrow is the most dangerous offensive player that Cincinnati has and giving him less opportunities will only hurt the offense.
EDIT - Changed bolded for clarification.
