1. From what I took in a response your wrote, you seem to mention that it was a farce to think we could maybe go to a SB without Burrow, i took that as you don;t believe we have the talent to do it without Burrow and I believe we do ( i did not indicate we could do it this year). No where in my response did I realistic say we could make the playoffs this year without him and stated obviously he gives us the best chance of making the playoffs.
I have felt we were an underdog even with Burrow to make it this year just did not seem like the team was at the level we had been last two years around this point in time and sitting last in the division was not a good sign.
2. I accurately pointed out on Burrow did not play at the level in the post season that we had seen in the regular season, totally accurate, never bashed Burrow, never said he did not make any plays plus he has been solid in playing low turnover games in the playoffs but 9 tds in 7 games, 260 ypg range is not what he had shown in the regular season, I pointed out that our defense played at a higher level in playoffs, totally accurate also.
3. You keep saying we have not shown we can win without Burrow but you really don;t have any prove over the last two years to that statement, since Burrow has played the great majority of the games, if you are referencing his rookie year, we were not winning with him either that year and now we have a much better group of players.
Just had to set the record straight with your response, know im moving on to enjoy more turkey .. :)
Again, I never said we didnt have talent, you claimed that I did.
I never mentioned the Super Bowl this season. This is another fabrication you made up.
You said we are good enough go to the playoffs and win without Burrow. I said you had zero evidence of us winning without Burrow, and you want me to prove a negative?
How about you try to prove your opinions without making false claims about what others say?
