Did We get Lucky?

To say we wouldn't  have beaten the Giants, Dolphins,  and Cowboys is a bit of an odd statement. Considering that the offense was much better with Burrow at the helm.

Just seems awfully strange to assume victories on a 2-7-1 team. One of the two wins came from the 1-15 Jags and the tie came against the equally 4-11-1 Eagles. Most games in the NFL are 1 score games. That's the NFL. I did a whole thing a couple years back that if all 1 score losses were instead turned to wins for every single team, the NFL would have had only 2 teams with losing records at 7-9. That's the NFL. 

Also, the Dolphins were 10-6, had the 15th scoring offense and 6th scoring defense in 2020. Why is that an odd statement? As for the Cowboys, Dalton absolutely lit up the Bengals 30-7, Burrow wasn't going to do shit about that in 2020. For whatever reason Dalton absolutely has the Bengals number since leaving them, 2-0 and a 122.3 QB Rating despite both games coming on pretty bad teams.
