I never said the offense didn't have its share of the blame in this. They didn't have to wait until the end of the 4th to score points. But the fact remains that the Bengals offense still ended up tying the game only for the defense to give up more big plays leading to a walk off FG win for the Texans. And according to you, it's only Burrow's fault for the loss.
That's not what I said. What I said was that YOU were wrong in saying that Burrow is to blame for being 3-16 when the opposing team scores more than 24 points. I was providing context that you were ignoring that maybe the defense has some, if not more blame in that 3-16 record.
Except Burrow doesn't need the excuses. People don't consider him a top QB because of the excuses. They do so because of his stats and winning record.
I have not once ONLY blamed Burrow. I am implying he needs to be better which apparently is unfathomable.
I’m just going to say this one more time. When the Eagles have 3 wins when their defense gives up more than 24 points this season, Mahomes had 5 wins last year and Stroud has 2 in the last 2 games- blaming it more on the defense and ignoring that you have a 250 millions QB who absolutely CANT win shootouts is a problem.
I’m done with this argument. You keep thinking Burrow is untouchable and absolutely can’t take it to another level- but I’ll tell you this. If he DOESNT take it to another level- we will be outside looking in this year. Sorry, a Top 2 defense with an above average or at least average roster doesn’t sit outside the playoffs,
