Of course it's not "Just" the defenses fault. It is just Burrow's fault, right?
Defense still gave up 30 points! Burrow throws 3 TD against the Cards this year and according to you, that's not a good game. Defense gives up 30 points but got 3 turnovers and, according to you, that IS a good game.
Burrow has not had an even average OL his entire NFL career, the defense that's carried much of the load in the playoff wins is inconsistent in the regular season and almost nonexistent this season. Burrow hasn't had a fully healthy offseason yet and has started the last 2 seasons with injuries that affected his play, and you consider all that "perfect"?! Oh, and despite all that "perfection" he still has a winning record as a starting QB.
I never said giving up 30 to the Texans was a good game by the defense.
But going 2 quarters, 6 drives and 32 yards after the first TD had just as much, if not more to do with the loss than the defense.
You’re the one who said we only lost because the defense sucked. I’m just pointing out how wrong you were. Don’t get defensive because of it.
This post is littered with excuses. Many of which I agree with, but let me ask you this- if the supposed top 2 QB has to have excuses for his play pretty much his entire career, is he really top 2?
