Granted it helps having Chase Brown making plays too, he definitely has some wheels. But generally speaking it just looks like a smoother offense with the 'eye test'.
But this offense is currently at a pretty high level without Burrow. And Burrow is a much better QB than Browning, but the offense hasn't dropped off a lot. So what that tells me is maybe there is something the Bengals need to look at to maximize the offense next year with Burrow. Maybe Burrow has too much say in what plays are being called at the los? Is that a fair question to be asked or not? I think it is, because as much of a fan of Joe, I don't know if he is at a big brain Peyton Manning later years level. Anyways just stuff I hope the Bengals coaches consider.
I know very little about the X's and O's. But I totally agree with you. These last 2 weeks is what I expect out of a Joe Burrow Bengals with all this talent. There is just too much talent to look like what we have looked like.
Even last year I remember thinking why are we so stagnant on O with all this talent. Something is different. This is the O I expect with the players we have.
I have no idea what changed, but this O, at least the last 2 games, is a lot more representative, imo, of the talent we have.
I couldn't care less if we win with Burrow, Browning or someone's Aunt Betty. I just want wins and I want to see a Superbowl victory in my lifetime.
Maybe Browning is the next Brock Purdy or maybe he goes down in flames next week and it all falls apart. I am really hoping this success continues. This O has been fun and exciting and the players look jacked up.
