As I've said before, 2010 really blew up the "close game" narrative for me. We lost a bunch of close games and the Packers won a bunch of close game, we were a total joke that had to blow up some of the biggest spots of the roster, the Packers made the playoffs as a 6th seed and won the SB over the Steelers.
At any rate, this year isn't disappointing because we're a crappy team with a very promising QB. The issue I see is that saying stuff like Joe Burrow can win a SB and going on about how good he is going to be while we are sitting here at 1-5-1 with a HC who is setting losing records and our locker room is fighting makes me think of those "Will Burrow be wasted in Cincy?" off-season narratives.
So hey, Burrow looks good so there is always hope. I'll just leave it with that.
