Remove both HCs from the equation. What would the Bengals record have been if Ja'Marr Chase gets hurt early Week 8?
There's a reason why they're called game changing players. They change the game when they're in it, which means they obviously change the game by not being in it, too.
That's nothing to do with either HC, and it's not even touching on the fact that Burrow > Murray. I'm just saying when you lose an elite top tier WR, you will be shittier. Do we honestly believe the Rams win the SB if they didn't have Kupp for most of the year and all the postseason? '19-'20 Drew Brees lost about 4% off his previous league leading completion % without Michael Thomas, and 1 TD%, and ~10 QB Rating.
You’re not wrong, but Kliff has a long history of late season collapses going back to Texas Tech. This is eye popping-
2013 Texas Tech- Started 7-0 went 1-5 finished 8-5
2014 TT- started 2-0 went 2-8 finished 4-8
2015 TT- started 5-2 went 2-4 finished 7-6
2016 TT- started 3-1 went 2-6 finished 5-7
2017 TT- started 4-1 went 2-6 finished 6-7
2018 TT- started 5-2 went 0-5 finished 5-7
2019 Cards- started 3-3-1 went 2-7 finished 5-10-1
2020 Cards- started 6-3 went 2-5 finished 8-8
2021 Cards- started 7-0 went 4-6 finished 11-6
Quite the track record of the wheels falling off. Likely not just coincidences.
