Cincinnati fans never seem to understand the other teams have players being paid to make plays too......
That goes back to the Palmer/Marvin era when it seemed like the Steelers and the Ravens always had the #1 and the #2 defenses (maybe I'm exaggerating but not by much?) and we had to give begrudging props to Palmer having a less than 100% rate making guys like Polomaulelululululu and Ed Reed look like chumps.
We spent so much time tipping our caps to the other team's defense that we looked like bobble heads...or something. I can't think of a clever metaphor. I can see why people would hope those days were behind us...not that saying Burrow sucks and it was his fault makes that better. Ehh...so it goes.
