I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.
Fans that are okay with stats, but not winning is mind boggling. Chief fans did the same with Alex Smith, that’s why I was constantly bitching. Fans praised Alex bc he had good stats too. I can’t even start threads bc Alex Smith ****ing sucks.
Joe Burrow is a good QB, but what does stats matter if he can’t give over that hump?

I never cared about stats, but people use them for some reason. Stats are so misconstrued they should never be used in debates. So many different variables come into play with stats. [Reply]
Stats are for suckers. Chargers missed the playoffs with the number 1 offense and defense. Bengals don't have a defense, so it could get ugly when that wrist flares up again [Reply]

Good for him and his stats, I guess lol.
That’s what pisses me off about 49ers fans and Purdy. If they would just admit that their team is designed around a narrow window until Purdy gets his millions then it’d be fine. Instead it’s all this “Our QB has the highest passer rating!! He’s actually better than Mahomes!!”
And no matter how many times he comes up short in the end they’ll never stop fucking that stat chicken [Reply]

Suddenly you'll learn how Mahomes has been living since 2021.
Yeah, I think you're right. Even in college he had awesome WR's. I don't think he could do it with average WR's. He's never had that situation. :-) [Reply]

Even without a wrist flare up, it could be bad. The Bengals have already lost 4, and that division is going cannibalize each other. Even with the Browns being subpar, they'll factor in the equation. It's going to be hard for the Bengals to make the playoffs. They'll have a hard time going 10 -2 or 9-3 the rest of the way, and that's what it's going to take for them to get in. [Reply]

Not to mention easier schedules. The Chiefs have won the AFC west in every year of Mahomes' career, so he has played a first place schedule every single season.
Burrow started playing in 2020 and he has only faced a 1st place schedule twice, and in one of those 2 seasons he was out most of the season. In every other season of his career he has faced a last place schedule. [Reply]

I understood that before the Bengals even won a playoff game 3 years ago. Bengals fans would Andy Dalton this and Andy Dalton that and i would tell them the only thing that matters is playoff wins and rings.
If my QB looks elite and your QB looks average, you don't think i'm gonna get on here and point that out, since i don't have the lazy championships argument to throw out there?
If "you" go on about PuHnttttttt GaWWWWd!!!11!!1!! You don't think i'm gonna come on here and say my punter is better? Live in the past all you want, you're able to. I can only live in the right now. [Reply]

They calm down and execute at the exact moment that the rest of us let the moment dominate us.
Only one QB in the NFL does that consistently right now. Burrow does it just as much as anyone else. He's failed in 2 gigantic moments that put a bigger shine on him for that.
You don't need to read the rest of this cause no1currrrr but i'm doing a series of posts on my mothership about Burrow's 1 score losses and who the blame lies with (think Josh Allen-13 seconds). I may or may not post the results here when i'm done. [Reply]
