The story of the NFL season is not like an RPG, this game just wants me to crawl back into a hole and play video games. Like, OK, I need to stock up on phoenix downs and antidotes. When the boss does this, I am going to do this.
The boss is also human and not an NPC now, they also have a brain. It's very tough to maneuver our way back to this same "final boss" position.
The story is Burrow dragged the worst line in the league to the superbowl and almost won it, fans who didn't see the Bengals play before saw that clearly. If only it was as easy as "give him a line and he'll win" because of all of the other unknowns. For example, could Burrow win with a bunch of scrubs but a great o-line? Is that the mark of a champion, getting the best out of everybody? I think he did get the best out of everyone, but some of our players are amazing (WR core).
Burrow had an elite team in college, he was also part of the reason they were elite. He can't win them all, he plays a lot of chess, I think he will keep maneuvering until we win a ring. Before this happened I thought Burrow might win us multiple, and he still might, but after this loss - I realize I'm happy with just 1 if possible.
When the Cavs won 1, it was enough, I don't need to go to my death bed without a ring. lol.
That game was confusing because we basically did the best we could with what we have, some questionable penalties (logan's is going to be stuck in my head). The same story kept getting written over and over these playoffs, seemed like the offense got us to the playoffs and the defense was supposed to win it. I wonder if other superbowl loss teams have these same "destiny" stories in their head.
It seems like with Burrow you have a chance to win, a great chance to win, and that's what every team wants. There are no guarantees, people just want higher probability.
