Clearly you did. 

That game was long over by the 4th.

And anytime you see a lot of yards in the 4th quarter you are dealing with losing teams and garbage time stats. QB's playing from behind. Opposing defenses sitting on leads in prevent mode.

Talk about intelligent. How do you not know this? That's why you don't see any top 5 QB's in that top 5.

But I get it. Yall have Burrow in with the Geno Smiths of the QB tier so now I understand where all this is coming from. 

I was viewing him as a top 5 QB. I get it. Those posters who have Burrow in that tier are the true Burrow haters. 

Long over, eh?  The Bengals scored a TD with 9:42 left in the 4th to make it 31-26 and failed at a 2pt conversion that would have cut it to 3. Is a 5 pt defecit with 9:42 to go in the 4th "over" to you? With a defensive stop on the next Wash drive, would the Bengals have been able to take the lead on that single possession? They obviously didn't get that stop but to say it was over at the end of the 3rd is absolutely ludicrous. 


Here's the thing. I like to believe i'm as honest as anyone you can find when it comes to Burrow supporters. I'm not afraid to point out his shortcomings when they happen or assign blame where others may not. Last night i was wondering how many times Burrow has had a chance, with the ball in his hands to tie or take the lead late in close games but it was too late for me to do any research then. So today i went and looked at all the Bengals one score losses and soon i will go watch the end of those games to find out how many times he failed to get that tie or lead and i'll update this post with the results. The thing is, thoughts of a young Aaron Rodgers have been dancing in my head lately in regards to Burrow not pulling games out late. I know specifically, in 2013, before the Bengals played the Pack in Cincy, people were posting "oh nooooez, A-Rod" and i made a post about, regardless of how elite he was, he's failed numerous times late in games and shouldn't really be considered a clutch QB.

So, for now i'll post the Bengals close losses with Burrow and later i'll watch the game to see what position he was in and how he did. 

Losses since 2020 with Burrow starting a game (injury games included). First number is point differential and 2nd number is how many times they've lost by that score. 

1 - 1
2 - 1
3 - 13 (twice in the playoffs)
4- 1
5 - 2
6 - 1
7 - 0
8 - 0

That's 19 opportunities to tie or take the lead late. There's at least one game (Bears) where they were down big and the final margin looked closer than it was. There may be more, didn't check for that specifically.
They've been "blown out" 9 time with 2 of those being his injury (season ending) games and the Browns were the team in 3 of those 9. 

I'll update this tonight or tomorrow, when i have time and as long as i don't start feeling any worse than i do now with this sinus bullshit.
