Hear me out.... was thinking deep about this and crushing the numbers again.
We go 6-0, mad love fest for Joe Burrow for 6 weeks straight on HBO Hard Knocks. It becomes the Joe Burrow love fest show of the century - whole world notches up the Joey B love times a billion. Everyone's off on BYE WEEK... nobody's at the facility, cue the Hard Knocks entry theme. JOE is there, dialed in, not giving up.
Locked in JOEY B comes out hot on episode 1... we CRUSH the Steelers, then later we CRUSH the Steelers again.. which the world and media will love because nobody likes Russell Wilson - Mr. Unlimmmmmmited, no thanks. Then we crush BO NIX (dweeb)... everyone's new favorite guy to talk about as the next guy... beat the Colts, Browns, and Titans (Callahan Schmallahan), with ease.
Burrow ends up 1st in touchdowns, 1st in yards, and has no INTS over the last 6 games. Tee Higgins goes off looking like prime Andre Johnson with more speed, because he has to, to trick a team into paying him $150 million. Myles Murphy turns into Jevon Kearse. Fig Newton becomes Newton Island. Kris Jenkins starts looking like Kris GENO ATKINS Jenkins, etc. All EXTREMELY plausible in my opinion, we have seen the flashes.
I mean... has anyone else seen the motor on McKinnley Jackson? Dude cooks for a big dog. If they had an Olympics for 300 pounders and up, he'd win the 100 meter sprint with ease.
Plus... we got the ELITE dynamic duo of the Mormon Missle and Tycen Anderson... should both be first team ALL-PROs. Field position domination down the stretch? Yes please.
Bengals are 10-7, in the dance, its US vs. the Ravens in Baltimore... and Joey B is the friggin MVP.
Who else is riding on that?

Keeping receipts of this.
With all your playa hating, you should become a Lions fan. It's not a far drive to Ford Field!

You'd be better off tossing the receipts and keeping your money in your pocket. If the scenario you described actually happened, then sure, an MVP is a realistic possibility if Joe keeps his numbers up. I love Joe and would love to see him get that MVP, but if it all hinges on this team going 6-0, then it isn't happening. They'll be lucky to avoid being swept by Pittsburgh and manage a 3-3 record the rest of the way. I'd love to be wrong about that last bit and tuck into a crow dinner, btw.

I'm pretty resigned to not making the playoffs now, they have to win out, and even if they make it this defense is not going far without a loss. Face it, we are missing Hill and Turner at Corner. CTB is playing like ass, and just about any team we play in the playoffs will now carve up our backfield. Burrow will have to score on every possession for the rest of the season to have a chance. Not saying they can't do it, but I'll enjoy the rest of the season for what it is.

That's all we really can do at this point. In the '90s I walked into Riverfront many a time when a meaningless game was to be played because I'd purchased tickets in the optimism of summer. I liked seeing my team play live, so l had to adopt a philosophy to cope: "I'm here today, so just win, dammit!" It served me well, especially during the many dead-cat-bounce years with late-season wins.
It sucks that there won't be a playoff run this year, but I'll enjoy what I can about the remaining games.

MVP is decided before the playoffs.

While not unprecedented, it would be hard for burrow to win MVP on a wildcard team. Since 2000:
2012 Adrian Peterson
2008 Peyton manning
2003 Steve McNair (co mvp)
2000 marshal faulk
Bengals would almost certainly have to win out, along with Allen, Goff, henry and Jackson all stumbling a bit.
Burrow would have to lead the league in yards and touchdown (by more than a little), with the bengals rolling on a 6 game, convincing, win streak to win MVP.

Yeah I think that would be a waste of money
Now that Pratt has “guaranteed” a Bengals victory I am more confident than ever that the Steelers will win.

When all is said in done, he SHOULD be the MVP, but based on the turd barge of a team he is on, they will not give it to him.
He is my MVP!!

If the NFL hates the Bengals and the Brown family as much as we think, Burrow may get better odds of winning MVP the worse our record is because that'll thrust the crappiness of this franchise into the historical spotlight.
