But the Defense is the reason we are in the Superbowl. I'm trying to remember if Burrow has had a game since he's been here when we had to win a shootout. I know we've scored a bunch of pts in some games and had big comebacks. Just not touchdown for touchdown situations. I'm just a little concerned about the offense heading into the big game. The only thing that I can really point my finger at is I think Burrow has been a little of on his deep throw in the playoffs. I know it was a point of emphasis this offseason and he more than showed that focus paid off during the regular season. The deep shots I'm thinking of mainly involve Tee and he always has a guy with him but he has a clear height advantage and I believe would go up and either make the catch, incomplete or PI. Maybe he's not wanting to force anything or put the ball at risk. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this?
Well the first time we played the Chiefs in January Burrow won a shootout with Mahomes even if the D helped.
Agreed though, the Defense is the main reason we are in the Superbowl. You know why Burrow isn't scoring tons of TD's?
The O-line is terrible and we have been playing great DL's all postseason and we are still winning cause Burrow doesn't turn the
ball over like every other QB would be doing. This is what makes him special, he can win ugly and that is all that matters. Sure
would be nice to see some decent blocking for him against the Rams so we could explode on Offense but with the Rams DL going
against our OL hard to see that happening. Think we will have to win ugly again with our Defense and I am actually expecting so.
Not betting against this team even with our poor OL against their great DL, that is how good our D, Burrow and Shooter have
been playing.
