I love Burrow, but i'll believe it when i see it as far as him making it through the offseason and into the regular season with no injuries/issues. Then we refuse to play anyone in preseason and come out looking like dog crap while other teams are rolling.
Then the stat I just learned about with QB's/coaches and SB's in the first 5 years. So unless we break an almost 60 year old streak we won't win a SB with Burrow/Taylor if we don't do it this next season.
Then our o-line. Look how much pressure Clevelands backups were getting. Joe going to get killed next year.
And our secondary. And defense overall just sucks.
We had our chance. Should have had 2 SB wins. Our oline effed it up big time.
Like I have had to say for the last 35 years, maybe next year. Effing eff.
There is one sliver of hope though. The Bills McDermott/Allen are in year 6, so they should not, due to precedent, win it this year even though a lot of people keep saying 'team of destiny' etc, etc. If they're able to pull it off, then the 5 yr window goes out...the window. If Buffalo proceeds to screw it up again, as history says they will, then 5 yr window is still on for next year for the Bengals.
