The final portion of the game would have played out differently. If the fumble doesn't happen, KC gets the ball on a punt. Maybe they score, maybe they don't. Maybe there's a turnover somewhere. We can't change something from the past and then just assume everything plays out in the same exact manner. Chaos theory, butterfly effect, all that fun stuff.
Yeah, i think people don't always get that one single random play, if different, changes the entire outcome of the rest of the game.

I am 49 years old. I have NEVER seen anyone use "unforced error" in the way you're trying to use it. The word you're ACTUALLY looking for is "careless"; not that I think Burrow was careless either, but "unforced error"? SMH

Did you even watch the game? Burrow was forced out of the pocket! So, according to you, Burrow should not have tried to escape the sack? What if he stood there, got sacked and fumbled it anyways? What would your be advice to avoid THAT particular "unforced error"?

If you are on the witness stand and a lawyer asks you a question and you say something incriminating that you didn’t have to say. Sure you can say it was a forced error because the lawyer asked. But what do they call it?
That’s what the Burrow fumble was. Maybe I’m using the wrong term. I’m confident enough people know what I meant based on the feedback.

Get pressure, the defense starts to improve.
Sunday night would be a good time for Rankins to start earning that money.

this is gonna be another high scoring game where Burrow is going to have to play perfect in order for cincy to win
which is a risky strategy, as we all see

Mahomes should have never got the ball back to get in FG range.
There was 1 other opportunity after the go ahead FG in which Iosivas dropped a pass and then Burrow was sacked on 3rd down. I guess it's Burrow's fault for making his receivers drop passes and for his OL not blocking defenders?

Well if you don’t believe me Google it the saying. That fumble was on Burrow not protecting the ball as he went down. Not some miraculous skilled play by a defender like you’d see in a strip sack. It was a clumsy fumble.

No one would call that a "forced error".

For lies you still haven’t proved. Still playing from that tired fake news playbook. I’m still waiting for that quote proving I said what was claimed. I remember you backtracked with you tail between your legs. Caesar at least held strong.
I’m sure he remembers you throwing him under the bus.

So, it's your assertion that Burrow would still have fumbled the ball if those 2 defenders were NOT there tackling him? That the 2 guys tackling him had no effect on Burrow's ability to hold onto the ball? Ok.

No, but I do get frustrated when our own fans are severely uninformed and instead of accepting their obviously incorrect statements and moving forward, their pride and ego force them into expanding their arguments by moving goal posts and creating their own form of linguistics with words that already have a true definition.
