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.
The peroxide blond hair does make some logical sense. When you see a rejected short and curly on the edge of the bowl. You won't think Burrow because it blends in with the china [Reply]
You hate to see it, but mostly, you love to see it.
And yes, Mahomes had a worse defense in 2018 and was (1) a coin toss and (2) Dee Ford being an absolute moron away from playing in the Super Bowl. [Reply]

The difference is clear.
Burrow:
1. Had the ball in his hands against NE in game #1 down 6. Failed to get even a first down.
2. Had the ball in his hands against KC in game #2 with a lead and failed to extend it, where a FG doesn't beat you. (same scenario that Josh Allen was in this past Sunday against you).
3. Had the ball in his hands against Balt in game #5 with a lead and not only failed to extend it, threw an INT that lead to a tie, before losing in OT.
4. Had the ball in his hands against Balt in game #10 and failed to convert a 2pt conversion.
5. Had the ball in his hands against LAC in game #11, in a tie game and missed a blown coverage that left Chase wide open, then missed Chase on a deep pass when he was wide open on the next drive.
He's put up MVP numbers this year, by and large through 3 1/2 quarters of each game, yet when the ball is in his hands to win it, 5 times this year, he's failed every time.
You can call out the defense and kicker and coach and whatever you want but the ball was in your franchise QBs hands on 5 occasions this year with a chance for him to make plays to win games and he hasn't come through even once.
Zero for 5. If he converts even 2 of those, the team is 6-5 and right in the thick of things. [Reply]
