The worshipping of Burrow if they win. And that he'll have a ring before Josh. Stafford I can deal with - Burrow? No.

I thought all scoring plays were reviewable? How can a clear face mask be missed?

Much happier thanks to the Dorsey and (hopefully) Brady deals. Is it September yet?

Plus baseball cap.

I've got an image of Josh being on the interviewing panel.

Why did the 49ers abandon the run game? Why put the ball in Garoppolo's hands?

A week on and I’m not. The thought of Burrow picking up a ring before Josh with a franchise which is likely to be hanging around for years to come… sigh.

Josh is better than Burrow (take Chase away and see how good he is) but the Bengals have the better defense.

Bengals defense + Bills offense = Super Bowl Champions Happy with that; Mahomes doesn't get a second ring but neither QB looked brilliant. Rams or Niners for the SB though.

I'm the odd one out here but want the Bengals to win. Don't want the press to sell the storyline that Burrow could do what Josh couldn't. They can then lose to the Rams in the SB. I know the TV screen isn't a great guide but that looks like a bad spot to me.

I don’t think it says anymore about their relationship with McDermott than their relationship with Josh, to be honest.

What do we do if he chokes again next year?

Misery lasts for different amounts of time for different people. Really we need to announce a new OC to distract us from 13 seconds.

He’ll get the cereal that Josh tells him to get and no excuses.

But isn’t that the case of every hire? We hope it pays off but who knows if it does or not. Pederson was mentioned earlier in the thread but he eventually oversaw a dumpster fire in Philadelphia which tipped Wentz over the edge towards hatred of the guy - what if that happens with Josh? We hope it doesn’t. As he has overseen the development of Josh and our offensive game I would be fine, more than happy, with Dorsey as OC. If he moves to the Giants then my pick would be Bill Musgrave. Either way, as long as Josh is involved in the process and 100% happy with the outcome, considering the limitations which may be in place such as Dorsey wanting to go, then I’m happy with that.

I appreciate the logic used before with this - he’d feel more secure taking an OC role under an offensive minded HC who he’s worked successfully with for three (?) years over becoming an OC under a defensively minded HC without the same amount of support in place. He retains a support network and would be carrying less on his shoulders. In a perfect world for him, McD would probably step aside (not say Dorsey has anything against McD), Daboll takes the HC role and Dorsey is promoted to OC here but that was never going to happen.

Maybe I’m cynical but I wouldn’t be surprised if Daboll had been tapped up and knew he was going pretty soon after Judge had been fired.

Chiefs to beat Bengals as I don’t know if I can deal with Burrow getting a ring ahead of Josh, then Rams or 49ers beat Chiefs.

From memory he’s a great fan of Josh (which sensible person isn’t) so his commentary might be quite balanced. Until he says “they should’ve deflated the ball”.

Things seemed line up for us. First the Chargers and the Colts - two bad mismatches for us IMO - get kicked out in week seventeen. Then the Titans get turned over by the Bengals, alongside the two most experienced and respected QBs getting ditched in the Divisional Round. This was followed by us taking the lead against the Chiefs with just 13 seconds on the clock. We were within touching distance of the Championship game and a real possibility of making the SB. We screwed it up badly and if you think this is bad it’ll continue to haunt people at least until we win it. Will that happen under this era? Who knows - it’s clear we are excellent at claiming defeat from the jaws of victory.

Three of our seven losses had less to do with Josh having an off day - Titans, Bucs (particularly second half) and Chiefs last week - and were down to our defense leaking like a sieve and/or blown plays. Steelers, Jags, Colts and Pats? Yes, definitely Josh not being at his best and parts to all of the team crumbling (to differing extents) accordingly. One key thing I’d like to see next year is no blow out losses and being able to put up more than six points against anyone.

Only halfway through the thread but “anyone would die to be OC for Josh Allen” - except for Ken Dorsey, apparently.

Depends how they win. And the thought of Burrow getting a SB ring before Josh…

Agreed. This may just be bitterness but I feel Burrow is only excelling because of Chase. Take Chase out of the offense and I don’t think Burrow’s star would be rising so fast or far.

I imagine Burrow has to be next in line, assuming the Chiefs win on Sunday? Tannehill would probably get a request before Jones too.
