Burrow Will Want Out Of Cincy At Some Point

[Frank Booth]

do you think saints fans thought brees was trash when the saints' offense would be top 5, but the awful defense kept them out of the playoffs?

did dolphins fans think marino was trash when the dolphins defense would constantly end their season?

I know burrow isnt in that level, but its pretty much the same thing. Burrow gets none of the blame here. If youre blaming burrow, youre delusional

In all fairness your average football fan has a 0% chance of playing in the NFL but is simultaneously convinced he has more love and dedication for the game than those who spent their entire lives working to make it as NFL players.

True we don't. I assume (maybe wrongly) that it was run on 1st... throw on 2nd (which became a run)... and then run on 3rd to chip some yards off the FG attempt.. but whichever way around it was, the lack of success on the first two runs meant we probably had to run it on 3rd. To me, it's just one of those cases where we 'got behind schedule' on the plays and backed ourselves into the corner.

Totally agree, the run on 3rd was likely as much for alignment as it was for yards.

That said, the 3 runs were not bad calls considering the situation. 

Not bad calls, terrible calls.

Not at all. Understanding the situation is vital.

Joe Burrow would be in MVP conversation if not for the Bengals 1-4 start.

Touchdown passes (12) - 1st
Passer rating (113.6) - 1st
Completion % (72.2) - 2nd
Passing yards (1370) - 3rd
40+ yard passes (5) - t-1st

Bengals QB Joe Burrow is the 3rd quarterback in NFL history to have a losing record through 5 games despite throwing 12 touchdowns while completing 70% of his passes.
