IMHO this has been one of the most nail biting ,/ heartbreaking starts we have had in a while. This team is literally a play each week away from 5-2 / 4-3... The Chargers game ended on a iffy push off call and a cramp away from winning Burrows NFL debut. Browns beat us straight up. PHILLY , we had so many chances to put that away. Wentz juking Carlos in the 4th QTR comes to mind in this one. Jacksonville dominating win. Baltimore dominated us, Burrows 1st bad rookie game. Defense played well. Indy , blown 21 point lead. Burrow , plays lights out , but the D cant stop Mayfield's 4 2nd half TDs and no incompletions but a spike.. Lose in the last seconds..
It seems like playing as a complete team been one of our biggest downfalls for the longest time... Either the offense shows out and D sucks or the other way around. Never a complete performance. We are as close as you cant get to being a contending team. Atlanta is the NFC Bengals. This season also reminds me alot of Boomers first year starting in 1987. The Bengals lost 7 games by 5 or less or something close to that. We all know what happend in 1988... We are getting their guys.. Gotta keep faith in the process at this point. We dont really have another choice..
Just that close in so many games.... one more successful draft and a couple of more free agents and this team will have a very good record.
