Burrow was terrible but it’s not hard to put some blame on Tee at all. He sucked. He’s supposed to be a 50/50 guy and he didn’t win a battle all day. Should have caught the one low to the ground, too.

After this Elves smack talk and the “Burrowhead” garbage from last year maybe this team will learn to just STFU and play.

DaWand Jones had a much better game than Miles Murphy. DaWand Jones looked like the second coming of Anthony Munoz compared to whatever the hell Williams and Karras were trying to do. 

[BrownAssClown]

On to Baltimore.

Tee was not average. He sucked. Didn’t win a single battle all day.

Yup

I think he was drinking the same thing Burrow was before the game. Suck sauce or something?

I've never been a fan of his. I didn't like it when they brought him back. I've always felt he's a better talker than teacher.

Maybe a little easier. Baltimore doesn’t have Myles Garrett and Nick Chubb. Saw Dobbins went down with a torn Achilles today, too.

No reason to negatively judge any WRs or TEs this game. Burrow could not have been any worse. Zac will never ever be Andy Reid as a play caller or offensive designer.

[Gdale_Bengal]

If anyone blames the D, they need to leave. Can’t be upset with that unit when they play a full quarter more than tge offense.

Ravens likely will not have Humphrey and lost Dobbins for the year today.  It's a shame we have to rely on the other team's injuries......

Bates having an all pro game today for ATL was something….

They shouldn’t have put a friggin elf on their 50 if they didn’t want people calling them that.

Damn that kid can’t catch a break.

275 Million well spent. 
Some spent 400 on Sunday Ticket and this is the performance fans received. 

[2MinutesHate]

Today's display by Tee Higgin's likely cost him at least a million per year on his next contract. 0 receptions and 0 yards is difficult to overcome. I would think this game will be on his mind for awhile.

Yup

I'm not going to freak out  about anything over just this one game. Joe Burrow did not look good at all, to say the least. I still love him

But it is what it is. Lets hope it doesn't look like this anymore.

Exactly, the cowboys canned him because he never develops or coaches anyone up.

Absolutely crazy how the franchise trusts him to protect their 275M investment.

Our line looked as bad today as it has ever been...we need another McNally type who can find
the diamonds in the rough and develop a potent line.

Oh I'm not saying Tee played well. But it was like an AJ game where most of the throws to him (and other receivers) were out if bounds. He played defense well on 2 balls to prevent possible interceptions because of bad decisions/throws by Burrow. Our offense seemed to have 0 strategy of what they were trying to do which falls on ZT and Burrow, to me.
