And guess what. We're scheduled to play the Chiefs in "Burrowhead" for the next two years. Possibly three if we land in the same division slots in 2024. The only way we'll get them at home before 2026 is if we have a higher seed and meet them in the playoffs.
How the $^#% does that happen if not on purpose? If we play them twice, it seems to me it ought to be once at each place. Oh well, we should just go in there and beat them so much in their own home they don't want us there anymore.
In the end, we just ran out of linemen. Like has been said, going into the game with a rookie left guard and 3 backups on the line is just not a winning recipe when you're facing a DPOY candidate at pass rusher. And we still took them down to a last second field goal to win.
Burrow will be back with a fire I suspect. If he could possibly get in a normal camp and pre-season, #1 seed is ours to take. And while of course I wish we were going to the big game again this year, part of me is glad we are not. I don't think with the current state of the line, we could beat Philly and Joe may very well get hurt. I we had the line we had last month, I think we beat Philly handily, but not with this one.
