Let us know what the average PPG is for Burrow in the postseason... [Reply]

Maybe Burrow shouldn’t pick basically every playoff game he’s ever played to be subpar or just plain bad. [Reply]

I don’t know if I would say that the Bengals front office isn’t talented enough so much as they are too cheap. Paul Brown was a notorious penny-pincher and it appears that trait was passed to his son. I know the rumors about Clark, particularly with regards to KC’s facilities. But Clark will pay to bring in talent. Look at Reid and Burt Bleach and contracts for Mahomes and Jones and others.
Bengals front office had to pay for Burrow because realistically there’s no way round that. But Bengals’ front office will break decades of cheap behavior if they start spending money on lots of players. Remaining competitive after this year is going to be difficult anyway, with a number of players becoming eligible for their first non-rookie contracts. That, coupled with the bengals notoriously tight fists, I think Bengals Super Bowl chances go way, way down after this coming year. Burrow, when healthy, is a good QB. Surround him with the Raiders’ talent, though, and that’s not nearly enough to win in this league. [Reply]

Losers make excuses. Winners fuck the homecoming queen. And you’re making excuses. [Reply]

No, they're honestly just not good at understanding the importance of a strong Oline and on top of that, they're not good at evaluating who would make up a good line.
They thought Burrow would cover all that up. They thought they'd re-invent the wheel and load up on weapons while throwing out 5 guys that they thought were 'good enough' to get the job done. [Reply]

That’s why great teams, and especially dynasties are just that. [Reply]
