As far as my “bad” Burrow takes. I sounded the warning on him not going to last the season early last season to severe backlash……. Only to have been right. But I hate to say I told you so so I let it ride since we all hated to see it.
And I been sounding the alarm on the clutch situation. Only to face backlash and belittlement. Only for Burrow to continue to … lose in 1score games.
So my takes as people around here know aren’t bad. They are ahead of their time and the board always catches up. Eventually. And when folks do I usually take the high road. Not this time tho. Not wothout any backing and with another close loss there wasn’t one. I was t going to let y’all silence other astute posters. I walked so they can run and I’ll back them as they do.
the durability and slow starts are of course a legit criticism. the clutch crap is a joke argument. your 1 score narrative lacks context. its a biased take

Is it a biased take? Or a painful one. All we need is 1 score and so many times we’ve had the opportunities in the 4th quarter to win a game that isn’t out of contexts it’s the games we’ve all watched over the last 4 years. how many drives to end the SB and only needing 3.
You see it over and over in these close games. Blame who you want and many blame the coaches but it’s just not getting done when points are needed the most.
The 1 score game issue is the smoking gun.

One score games are the norm in the NFL.
The problem isn't Burrow. It's the same as it's always been... Ownership and management. It's the same ol same ol. Ring of honors and practice bubbles and some free agents hid it for a few years, but they have no idea how to sustain success beyond a franchise QB's rookie contract. Oh... And this defense is trash.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

you either havent watched all of the games from 2021-now, or you have bad memory. Youre just letting the bigger moments (super bowl, 22 afc chip) trump the clutch moments that werent those 2 huge games. Once again, I can point to the 2 game winning throws in the 21 playoff run against kc and tennessee. you'll just move the goalposts anyways. Plus there are games that the bengals ultimately lost, but Burrow would drive down the field to send it to ot (san fran 21)

there's a reason why the "Burrow isnt clutch" narrative isnt taking off nationally. Because people know it's ridiculous. a small minority of people are the only ones who take that narrative seriously

idk why i argue with the other guy here. its a lost cause. Burrow could drive down for a fg to take the lead with 1 minute left, then the defense will blow it and give up a touchdown as time expires, and the guy would blame burrow for only being able to settle for 3

Yes the defense is to blame. All of the blame should be sheltered by the defense. That’s the big picture view tho.
When you pull back the curtain they got stops when needed the most.Gave the offense a chance to win it or extend the lead. This game should have never went to OT. A clutch QB gets a FG with 1:23 left. We were supposed to have faith it would get done. Like we would have when Burrow was drafted. Like all the fans of the greats. Other fans should be saying they left too much time on the clock for Burrow. No one says that. We are more likely to get a 3 and out then the game winning drive.
If some how the Offense could score 3 more points. In those last couple drives.
But this loss is on the defense. And I genuinely believe that.

well a botched snap and hold certainly prevented that
