The game log says that Joe Burrow threw a 4 yard TD to Mixon to go up 10-7, and then the very next drive the Ravens scored a TD to go up 10-14. Then the next drive Browning came in. Also ignoring the fact that the Ravens lost Andrews even earlier in the game and Lamar got his ankle twisted.
Also the Steelers games can just as easily be "Steelers Game 1: We played Kenny Pickett" and "Steelers Game 2: We played Mason Rudolph".
Browns Game 1: If Burrow played in a hurricane, that means the Browns QB also played in a hurricane, and their QB was Watson who has been terrible for them.

Just seems like trying to make way too many excuses and putting too many asterisks from purely an our side point of view.
I am not ignoring anything, Im just not being a pessimistic whiny ass. We are absolutely more competitive with a healthy Burrow. You guys can b!tch and moan all you want, but without Burrow this team isnt doing much. With Burrow we beat the 49ers and Bills, and we were holding our own vs the Ravens, that tells me we could beat any team even with the bad play of the defense and the coaching mishaps. There are areas to improve, but Im not going to cry about this season without Burrow, simple as that.
