Bengals are NOT the team to beat in AFC

If we are taking Burrow's smarts over anything else, he is better than most, if not all. He may have to start adjusting to the "old man game" earlier than he wanted due to injuries, Jordan started taking turnaround jumpers when he couldn't dunk over everyone anymore.

Most QBs struggled statistically in week 1 and stats are showing the big yardage plays and games are being taken away from offenses.

The stats can look bad, only the win matters - but I would think for now, we need to feed Ja'marr Chase until he breaks one. It's sad to see college offenses way better at creativity and misdirection than us. Burrow needs to start making more suggestions, I think he's smarter than our coaches, if that's saying anything.

Yes the league is leaning into cover 2 but the Patriots used more single high coverage last Sunday.
