Burrow had plenty of support their last few years.

Meanwhile Pat had Brady and Belichick BEAT if not for a pinky called offsides with the worst defense in football

Scored 24 points in the 4th quarter.

First of all, dingleberry, unless you're a biased troll, no you don't have him a more than 9. The total games they've lost by one score or less is 19. In a couple of those games, burrow failed to extend/win and then the defense failed to stop the GWD, so they both get credit.

And FYI, Pat has 22 losses of one score or less.

Burrow - 7 GWD, 19 one score losses
Mahomes - 18 GWD, 22 one score losses

For reference, Herbert has 14 game winning drives. Does that put him near Mahomes level?

Good luck rfaulk. I'll be looking for the stadium fire on tv at the end if they lose to the Raiders.

Skipping this one myself. Eyeing to return to Paycor Dec 1 against the Squealers.

And BTW, Chiefs know all about having an atrocious (injured o-line) in a SB. Didn't turn out so well for them either. Not even Mahomes was able to overcome that (and that's really saying something).
[Reply]

Excluding Playoffs, Mahomes has 63 wins that didn’t require a game-winning drive. Herbert only has 20 wins excluding the game-winning drives. 79% win rate overall for Mahomes and a 49% win rate for Herbert. Not great for Justin.

Had to check in here to understand why the heck this thread is still on the front page.

We beat these guys in week two. Moving on.

Gosh I feel sorry for you with so much futile analysis. You remind me of an Alex Smith era Chiefs fan.

True fact though: The Bengals are currently the best 3-5 team in the entire NFL.

Won’t bother responding to your entire inaccurate and cherry picked post except to point out that the Chiefs won their first Super Bowl with a running game ranked 20th in ypc and 23 in ypg. Check your stats and move your goalposts.
[Reply]

I don't think you understand the meaning of cherry picked and moving goalposts. But if you bothered reading you would see i said their run game in season wasn't that great.
[Reply]

Good thing that wasn’t Mahomes’ only Super Bowl appearance like it was for burrow, right?
[Reply]

Lol… you used ypc… sometimes… then ypg… sometimes… then sometimes you used seasonal stats… others you used game stats. You didn’t including RANKINGS which are a better indicator of how “good” or “bad” something is. You also exclude the passing stats. You referred to 2019 run game as “not great” when it was “below average”. Your point was refuted by the very first Super Bowl. In addition to the run game being below average defense was average in 2019. Rush defense allowed a 28th ranked 4.9 ypc and 26th ranked ypg. But teams couldn’t lean on their run game against the Chiefs. Why? The oline was an AllPro RT, an above average LT, and Jags in the middle. Why do you think the run game sucked? But they were “good” because why?

So, if an average D, an average line, and a below average run game are all that are need to hoist a Lombardi where are Joes? Or Lamar’s? Or Purdys? Or Goffs’? Or Bakers? Or Daks?

I honestly do feel for you. I remember Mahomes’ first AFCCG when he did all that he could to have won the game only for the defense to cost him a chance at a SB rematch with the Rams. It was already bad enough that they couldn’t stop a cold, but Ward had the game ending INT only for it to be called back due to an offsides. It was crushing. To make it worse, Scandrick goes on TV and blames the offense for the loss.

Two years later he was absolutely running for his life as his OLine failed him in the SB. KC’s never had a true dominant run game before this year so they were very one dimensional, so it is understandable where you are coming from.

Regarding the Bengals now, I do think Burrow is better than some give him credit for. I also don’t blame him for making as much money as he can because your owner is cheap and your front office seems to have lost some magic as they aren’t bringing in quality FAs like they were with Trey and Reader.

They absolutely botched the whole Tee situation, took far too long in making the protection of Burrow a priority. Now with Chase due to get a new deal they are going to have to pay him even more than had they signed him right after Jefferson.

To this day I think they should have traded Chase last offseason. Having an elite WR is great, but when your team has as many holes as they do, they could have really used the extra picks they got for him in what was a very deep draft last year. They still could have signed Tee for far less than Chase and still given Burrow a weapon. His WR core would not have been as good, and the offense might have taken a hit, but they would have been more solid across the board, which KC has shown to be very successful the last two years.

Now don’t get me wrong, no QB can do it all on their own and it does take a village to win a SB (unless you hit lightning in a bottle one year). But for that to happen there has to be buy in from the owner down to the QB. Until then Cincy will always be fighting an uphill battle.
[Reply]

It appears you don't even understand the assignment.
[Reply]

I would have traded Tee, no matter how much Chase was gonna cost. You really need one elite weapon and Tee is just too injury prone.
