June 6, 2025Jun 6 Author comment_1797442 The fact that Burrow threw 21 TDs and only 3 int in the 8 losses is mind boggling.That should basically be statistically impossible in today's NFL, unless you just let the other team score on every possession.That was basically a 13-4 team with the worst fluke luck and defensive execution in NFL history.

When you combine that with the dreadful defense, that's how the best offense who could have won the Super Bowl misses the playoffs. Report

I remember how he searched all offseason for a QB at any level that had also suffered that particular injury. Just so he would know what the recovery period was like. Not sure if he ever found one.

June 7, 2025Jun 7 comment_1797465 For the sake of argument: 21st in YPC doesn't sound so bad, but if they were able to gain positive yards on the ground consistently, maybe it would've helped the struggling defense out a little bit? 30th in attempts, 30th in rushing YPG... So, are they bad at it or are they scared to try, or both?This is not meant to excuse the sorry-ass defense through most of the year. If we're going to absolve the offense, though, we're really talking about the passing offense. Rushing (and kicking) weren't great. It would probably help if they could (or would) lean on the run more when they're protecting a lead. Report

June 7, 2025Jun 7 comment_1797475 If all of the games are going to be close, then the kicking game becomes absolutely critical. Not only did the Bengals struggle kicking FGs, their opponents did a great job with it on their end. Report
June 7, 2025Jun 7 comment_1797481 Potentially why they brought in compition for long snapper and not kicker, seems the coaches think that and not McPherson is the problem. Report
