Happy 29th Birthday to Joe Burrow

BB was a great defensive coordinator before he got to the Patriots.  His 1st SB in NE wasn't about Brady but really about great coaching.

 

I'll grant you that.  I'm simply saying he coached 10 seasons in the NFL without Brady as his quarterback and 8 of those 10 seasons were losing records.

 

Brady > Belichick by a ton.

This gets repeated a lot.  Take away any HOF QB from their HOF HC and how does that coach fare? Belichick. took a 3-13 Browns team to 11-5 and a playoff appearance with Vinnie Testaverde, Tommy Vardell at RB and Micheal Jackson at WR.  He did it by truning the 28th Defense into the #1 Defense in point allowed. 

 

How many SB rings does Reid have without Mahomes?

What is Burrow crying about ? Both of those picks were on him. They most likely would’ve won the game without his mistakes. Take accountability 

 

100%

 

There was about 5 minutes to go and the Bengals were up 3 with the ball at the Bills 30 (ish) 

 

Run a couple minutes of clock and score a TD (which seemed inevitable without the pick) and you're up 10 with between 2-3 minutes to play. 

 

Burrow blew it. 

I think if Belichick has any NFL offers the most likely team is actually the Bengals. 

 

Since they have no GM there's no issue there. There's big problems and their overrated HC is terrible. Burrow is having a public meltdown. 

 

Now, they are the Bengals, so the most likely outcome is that they try to stick it to Burrow, and Brown tells him "you work for me son" and plays hardball. But there's a chance they get a clue and hire a real HC, and whatever Belichick is or isn't he with a great QB would be very dangerous again. 

 

Don't forget: when the Bengals used to play defense too they were extremely tough. They don't even need to be good or great, even a middle of the road defense would make them a SB contender. 

 

Right now they are laughably bad.

This is fair.. and as we’re seeing, teams that pay their QB (Philly aside) have major holes due to that. 
 

Burrow defenders will justifiably point to how unbelievably well he played before those picks and in the drive after (accurate, he was amazing).  
 

But when you make what he makes, and furthermore advocate for a huge chunk of cap to go to your top two WR’s, you can’t be the one who makes those mistakes. 
 

You shouldn’t expect your defense to bail you out.   You knew the deal when you signed your contract and went above and beyond to advocate for Chase & Higgins. 
 

I don’t blame him if the injuries are getting to him.  And the Bengals, prior to this year, are responsible for not protecting him.  
 

But in terms of this singular game, you know the deal.  You’ve got to outscore people.  You can’t throw a pick six in the 4th Q and expect to beat another elite QB (who’s also covering up for holes on his team).
