The Bengals offense, when healthy, was great. PD Jr showed in article after the season that 9, 1, & 5, when healthy, was best offense in the NFL during that stretch. And, you know what else was really good during that time? ... The defense.
Why? Because the Bengals weren't get the hell beaten out of them in field position & ToP was evened out.
Bengals w healthy Burrow would have gone 3-1 or at worst 2-2 against 4 strong playoff teams. 2 of which went to conference champ games & 1 SB.
Burrow looked like he was ready to roll the Ravens. And, frankly, Boyd choked away that Texans game.
They could have gone 4-0 against top teams w a healthy 9. SHOULD have been 3-1.
The DIDN'T, which is what actually counts. But context matters. I don't understand people ignoring it.
Preach.
