Make it make sense.
We have the leading passer and leader receiver in the NFL. The sack leader too.
The thing is there is no middle ground with the roster... they are either peak-NFL players, or they are hot garbage.
Problem is, is that our top end guys are about 5 guys on the entire team... it's just a really lopsided and poorly built team. Some of it is age, some of it is regression, a lot of it is not plugging gaps sufficiently... i.e. drafting like crap.
If you'd have told me pre-season that Burrow's wrist would be fine and he'd be playing at this level, I'd certainly have assumed we made the playoffs at the least. And we won't be anywhere near them I imagine.
As for the topic... the Bengals are not winning 6 straight... we've beaten literally nobody this year, and lost to any team who have any quality. This was becoming clear prior to the weekend, but the Chargers loss is absolutely nail in the coffin. Peak Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase are ripping everyone a new one, and we're still losing games frequently... it's done.
