There was definitely some naysayers way before that though. Nah. The heavy criticism came after the loss to the Chargers at home, year 3. I didn't even jump off the train till sometime after 2015. ![[Image: 4CV0TeR.png]](https://i.imgur.com/4CV0TeR.png) "The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."

For seven weeks Lou Anarumo had his men allowing only 17 points per game and for two straight games the Bengals have allowed 34 points. That’s Teryl Austin territory. Thank you for coming down off the crazy tower and making a legitimate, good post.

AJ McCarron came the closest to ANY quarterback in the Marvin Lewis era to winning a playoff game. Well, that didn't last long...

And it's only his 2nd year. The last few games he definitely has and it's come at the expense of Tyler Boyd. "The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."

The flea flicker today was the perfect example of Burrow not locking in on Chase (who was the vertical option), instead he hit Tee on a wheel. They do need to get Boyd the ball more though.

Yeah, they were pretty well split not too long ago and i'm not upset at how much Tee is getting targeted but the last 4 games, Chase 38 targets. Higgins 35 targets. Boyd 20 targets. Things would have looked a hell of a lot better today if Higgins and Chase hadn't dropped multiple catchable balls. "The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."

So we should all just relax and be happy that Burrow is on the same track as Jared Goff, Jamies Winstead, and Baker Mayfield? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

The WR’s only caught 2 of 11 contested balls yesterday. That’s not going to get it done. Tee, especially, should be coming down with more of those.

Absolutely, on contested balls and clutch catches. Keep in mind: Browns DBs always bring something extra vs the Bengals. To win the battle of Ohio: the team that runs better almost always wins. Zac failed at doing his OC homework or he got schooled.

The fact that folks are gleefully talking about the struggles of other 1OA picks to comfort them is........... Something.
Whatever makes you feel better. Misery does love company, so maybe there is comfort in other 1OA busts. Either way we've fallen so far since the promise of week 5. Burrow no longer pro bowler, Chase no longer rookie of the year, ZT no longer up for extension, Lou back on the hot seat, Oline no longer on the up and up, 240 million now looks wasted on D. Just a mess. Quote:"Success doesn’t mean every single move they make is good" ~ Anonymous
