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.

He didn't improve. About midway through the season the coaching staff widened his split out from Thuney and they helped him every passing play with at the least a chip. [Reply]

The SB vs. Tampa was very similar to this game. It was just an outlier of a game. Perhaps they bounce back next week and look competent. Perhaps they'll just slowly improve as the timing and knowledge of the offense progress.
But with 11 drops we still only lost by 1 pt and that was with a gift 6 from Toney. [Reply]

Myles Garrett is as bad a motherfucker as there is. And I'm sure they fucking HATE the Bengals. Bengals will be better for sure.
As far as OBJ, I dunno. Burrow isn't Mahomes and Taylor isn't Reid. They're probably going to push harder to continue to do the shit that will let Chase, Higgins and Boyd stretch the defense. As well they should. If they have to help Brown on every passing down, that very much limits their capacity.
The OL was so bad that there wasn’t much talk about burrow not looking completely right. I think there was footage of him rolling his knee around on the sideline with a trainer. Those two in combo are not a great sign. If he was rushed back that really impacts his mobility and makes him an injury risk [Reply]

He never tried to leave the pocket or run at all. If you weren’t paying attention it was easy to overlook it but he’s not right and not mobile. Gonna see a lot of blitzes I think z [Reply]
