Last year in the playoffs we needed a defensive TD to beat Baltimore because the Burrow led offense disappeared. If not for the defense bailing Burrow out, we lose in the wildcard playoff game. In the AFC Championship game the offense scored just 20 points. You cant beat K.C. scoring just 20 points. The defense gave us a chance. Burrow and the offense squandered it especially in the 4th where our last two possessions were an interception and a punt.
Burrow cant count on the defense to bail him out anymore. The Bengals organization has decided to let some of our best players on defense walk so they could use that money on giving Burrow a huge contract and big contracts to others on offense to surround Burrow with talent. Burrow does need to hit another level.
How many starting Offensive linemen did we have in those 2 games? My mind may be off, but weren't we missing Cappa and Jonah? Revolving door at RT? Boyd out in the first quarter?
I get what you're saying, but he can only do so much - especially against quality defenses with backup o-linemen
