@@Tom_bradys_unretirementNo, you are missing the point. If Ravens lose to the Patriots ESPN would be blaming Lamar and only Lamar. Burrow always gets excuses.
Lamar should have lost by 3 touchdowns. The Chiefs dropped 2 touchdowns. The game was never really close because Lamar is the ultimate choke artist that can't ever hit wide open receivers against an atrocious Chiefs defense that left those receivers open a ton. He also refuses to share very many carries with Derrick Henry because he's selfish and only thinks about himself running the entire game because deep down he knows he can't throw the football consistently and accurately. Oh so Joe is supposed to be blamed for teammates dropping passes, and fumbling the football away as well as receivers not getting open and winning matchups down the field. In addition his defense couldn't tackle, or stop the run at all, but he plays on defense and should have been able to take away the Patriots only weapon as well in Stevenson.
@@allisondecker1918you saying Lamar taking carries away from Derrick Henry, when Henry was barely on the field to begin with😂😂 , that’s a coaching issue buddy, learn who really calls the plays…everybody is aware Lamar missed 2 throws he should’ve made which could’ve won the Ravens the game at the end…he followed that up with a throw he DID make but the receivers toe was out of bounds. Lamar gets grilled for his performance, putting up over 400 yards by himself against the 2 time defending champs on the road but Burrow didn’t even reach 175 yards against a rebuilding team with a journeyman QB at home😂😂😂😂…you a hypocrite in real time with a whole dissertation defending Burrow 😂😂
@@jamaljones31 Yeah that's because the coaches know that Lamar won't sacrifice 20-25 touches to Henry, which is what he's used to from his days in Tennessee. The Ravens are cooked. They are going to be bounced early on in the playoffs if they even make it at all as a wild card.
@jamaljones31 You're missing the entire point. Had the Chiefs not dropped 2 touchdowns you would have lost by 3 touchdowns. I'm sorry if you can't comprehend the truth. That last play with Likely's toe being out wouldn't have even been a factor then and the bottom line is Joe makes those 2 throws to the wide open wide receivers on that last drive. Lamar also got the receiver drilled 1 play prior to the toe out play. Your job as the QB is to protect the receiver always. I'm not a hypocrite. How dare you be condescending and call me that? I'm speaking the truth of where the blame lies and Burrow isn't to blame for this loss. Yeah no duh you aren't going to pass for more than 200 yards when all the passes have to be at the line of scrimmage, or behind and your receivers can't rack up yards after the catch. The coaches also didn't push the ball down the field, which is where you rack up a lot of passing yards as a QB. Brissett didn't win them this game. He was awful. Stevenson single handedly kept them in the game even though the Patriots only scored 6 points on their actual own without the turnovers. The Bengals should have had 27 points at the very minimum wothout the turnovers, which means they would have blown them out. Josh Allen also lost to the Patriots last year and the Patriots actually scored touchdowns in that game as opposed to being held to kicking field goals in this game without the turnovers. I didn't see you killing Josh Allen for that game, or the Jets game week 1 without Rodgers.
It’s time we start treating Burrow the way we treat all these other non-Mahomes QBs. He’s the only one who never gets criticism. He had one defense-led Super Bowl appearance. He has had 2 seasons of playing like a top 5 QB in this league, but he has not gotten better. He can’t stay healthy, and even before he got knocked out last year, he was having a horrible season. His best seasons are behind him and the Bengals championship window is closed. Tired of the excuses for him. We kill Herbert, Hurts, Lamar, Dak, Allen, for not winning. Burrow can’t keep living off of TEAM accomplishments from 4 years ago. What have you done for me lately?
Exactly! Dude is literally living off one win against the Chiefs in an AFC Championship game several years ago.... ONLY because Mahomes decide to have his worst half in a playoff game as a pro.
Zac Taylor needs to stop calling these boring and non creative offensive schemes. It’s getting too predictable and needs revamping. I’m surprised the owner hasn’t voiced any displeasurement after forking out so much money on Burrow.
Dude right, it started in the Super Bowl, has one of the most dynamic offenses in the league but is playing almost like how the Steelers offense has been the last few years lmao. Way to conservative, way too much running the ball, I wanna see them in gun throwing that thing down field and screens to chase and Zack Moss. Not running the ball on first and second down and getting sacked on 3rd lmao
The problem with sports analysts, especially those analyzing NFL quarterbacks, is that they lack consistency with their criticisms. Not only do they need to “keep that same energy”, but their criticisms are often not constructive…there are no bums in the NFL.
Buddy, because it's subjective. There's no objective criteria to criticize them on,unless you want them to talk only stats all day. Criticism is always subjective
@@brianbadonde9251 This quote is technically referring to more traditional journalism but last I checked, sports analysts are journalists; “In case there is any confusion about what commentary is, a good rule of thumb is when phrases like “I think”, “I believe”, “In my opinion” are used in your news copy you are straying into the arena of commentary. Commentary is different from analysis. Journalists sometimes provide analysis, which is context for understanding a story. Analysis is not opinion; it is a way of adding fact-based clarity. Journalists should avoid delivering commentaries about issues that they are covering. When journalists mix commentary and reporting roles, reasonable readers/viewers/listeners may be confused about which role you are fulfilling on any given day. Commentary should be fact-based and commentators should reveal the source of their facts just as journalist’s source their news reporting. The best commentary adds clarity to complexity and does not offer simplistic solutions at the expense of nuanced understanding.” I think this gets to the point that my original comment was attempting to convey, what we see on these shows by supposed analysts isn’t actually analysis, and definitely not constructive or consistent…from my perspective 🙂
The burrow glazing is insane. Mahomes has Walmart receivers last year and still won a Super Bowl. These excuses are ridiculous. He still has Jamar loud mouth chase.
Lifelong bengals fan here. Joe is not Lamar or Mahomes as far as mobility and play making but he’s accurate, a better field manager, and I love his quarterback ing skills. He’s not the issue. The issue is Zac Taylor, his play calling and scheme is so predictable. He’s on the hot seat in my opinion
@@AnthonyMercado-1988You’re so wrong it’s hilarious. Allen playoff stats: 27 total TDs, 7 total turnovers. Joe Burrow playoff stats: 10 TDs, 4 total turnovers. Everything else you’re mentioning involves the teams around them. And anyone who knows football knows the Bengals defense carried hard in that SB run. Only children talk about football like it’s 1v1 and not 11v11.
This is the same cheap owner that kept Marvin Lewis as head coach for 16 years just so he didn't have to pay a real coach. Taylor's job is secure for a decade at least.
He was a major piece of that offense. It’s a shame they didn’t keep him. He was a really good pass catcher. He’s really a mid cmc. Dude threw a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl. Why wouldn’t you pay him?!
They stay giving Joe "Brrr" passes but other "Elite" non-Mahomes QBs get scrutinized and again "SOME BLAME"?? If everyone else gets criticized for almost everything them He should too
I think that they needed to feel like winners for a minute. Let em have it. Who knows, confidence is found in the strangest places and can topple empires
As a pats fan, even I thought the Bengals would put up more of a fight and Chase would wanna show his best self in order to gain that contract. Anyways, I’m a fn happy fan! 😂
Joe, Trey Hendrickson and Chase were the only ones that showed up consistently and actually fought. No team will win very many games when 3/22 players actually shows up with energy and effort. Zac Taylor deserves to be fired for not having our players prepared. I'd also like to fire the entire front office staff because all of these contract distractions have taken Zac away from doing his actual job. How can you practice without having tackling/ball security drills? It's mind boggling that these issues continue to plague us. Enjoy your win because there won't be many more unless another team gifts you the game. Brissett is incapable of throwing the football and your only weapon offensively is Stevenson who only had all of his rushing yards but 4 after contact, which is just inexcusable that 11 Bengals players couldn't tackle and get him to the ground quickly. Stevenson is still running. Ugh it makes me so sick that we just pissed this very winnable game away off our careless mistakes. The Patriots don't win without us gifting them 10 points plain and simple. The two fumbles were 100% avoidable.
That Justin Fields Deep ball 6:47 kinda remind me of the deep ball Lamar Jackson threw against the Dolphins last year. He dropped back like a lefty QB and froze the defense.
The Bengals were completely unprepared to play a game. This goes back to Zac not giving ALL STARTERS enough preseason snaps so they're ready to play and win for fear of an injury. This basically forfeits the teams first four games year after year. Starters MUST PLAY DURING THE PRESEASON or you're gonna lose games you should win. Most of these injuries occur during team practices. Obviously something needs to change during practices. This too is a yearly problem. Maybe someone should mention "half speed" to Zac?
Its playcalling. Plain and simple. Pitcher isnt calling plays, its Taylor...he called the plays when Callahan was there. Taylor is trash and is terrible as a playcaller.
Nah i don’t want to hear any excuses for burrow. The guys is living on that Super Bowl run. He was not good last year even when he played. Every other QB like Dak, Allen, Herbert, and Tua get criticized but burrow keeps getting passes. Nah it ain’t right
Growing up a Bengals fan in the 90s and 00s and 10s its wild to see so many people genuinely hate us now. So many people on here are desperate to see Burrow fail and to see sports media claim he's a back up at best. Wild. Y'all are acting like the Bengals are Brady and the Pariots. Love the chips stacking though
The media talks about burrows as if he’s the second coming of Brady. Lamar loses to the champs by a toe and look at all the videos made about him. Burrows loses to a team they should stomp and it’s oh they always start slow 😑
Brady's first walk-on as an analyst. Pat's get an unexpected win with a new quarterback and a hopeful coach causing unexpected hope in the hearts of the New England faithful. History doesn't always repeat itself, but sometimes it does rhyme... GO PATS!
You look at the north overall & no team this off season except for the Steelers really got better, all those other teams except for the browns really lost big pieces , whether it was players or coordinators.. not saying they won’t find themselves through out the season.. but early struggles & losing trap games were inevitable
Thank uuuu im a proud bengals fan but ive felt this way the past 3 seasons zac doesn’t see that he’s the problem i hope this criticism finally reaches him. Zac for the first time ever was visibly frustrated heading into halftime and for the first time ever we didnt get make any MAJOR adjustments to the gameplan that obviously wasnt work and tbh barely ever works. Jamar cant say it but he say ask coach about the gameplan for a reason
Dan told zero lies. This offense has not evolved at all and the Bengals let the other teams dictate how they play. It’s a joke zero creativity. Their scheme is have Joe and Ja’Marr play hero ball. They also miss 100 tackles on defense and don’t run the ball themselves.
@@IAMD1353L showing you don’t know football at all and don’t pay attention you know exactly what I’m talking about take away joes weapons he’s not that good as u can see
Clark acting like JOE MIXON was the explosiveness Cincy is missing. Go look at his advanced metrics. One of the least elusive and explosive backs in the league. Houston’s run game fits Mixon better than ours does. Complete different run schemes.
As a chiefs fan it appears that they are going through an identify crisis just like the chiefs last year. They will adjust and get better. The difference is the coaching level between them is quite different. The leaders of the bengals need to step up and stop worrying about contracts.
I say the defensive coaching staff placed us in a bad position. You rush three lineman at the end of the game AKA prevent defense. You are playing to lose!!! Rush your five lineman, trust your defensive backs and play to win!!! I blame the coaching staff again on this one. It's much deeper than a "bad call."
Everything in this segment is so spot on!!! Except your stats on Ja'Marr is very misleading. Let Ja'Marr catch short passes across the middle like Burrow was mainly throwing if you want to compare stats like that. Why didn't Burrow target Ja'Marr more than 6 times? That's Burrow's choice more than Zac's. Why did Ja'Marr only have 2 receptions for 7 yards in the 1st half. Obviously Ja'Marr missing practice had an impact on Burrow feeling confident in throwing Ja'Marr the ball If Burrow has a huge say in this offense (like he has said since his rookie year) then why doesn't Burrow want to go UC or have motions or scheme up plays to make things easier at times & more varied & less predictable So many in Bengals media doesn't understand why we bring up Mixon's success in a new offense ... because we need a new scheme or new offense or just more variety in Burrow's offense. Are you saying Burrow isn't capable to play like CJ Stroud or in a similar offense or have some similar plays? Burrow's preferred offense has never been successful on a consistent basis. Mahomes was willing to change in order to win and Burrow has to also if his main objective is to win
CRAZY how these 'analysts' keep giving Burrow a pass... but not some of these other guys. Burrow has a career record of 29-24-1 barely .500 and no where close to Allen or Lamars record. Not sure why they treat him like a god other then his one win against the Chiefs in an AFC championship game... which was more about Mahomes having a terrible 2nd half then anything Burrow did. Burrows a good QB... Top 8-10 and thats being generous.
if anyone even watched the game fully and not just the recap we lost to ourselves literally. 2 fumbles 1 (preventing TD) and i know burrow is great however he got out coached that defense was disguising every play resulting in him getting spooked to yell “can” almost 90% of the original play calls. Single back we need if we in gun 90% of the time the run is obvious we gotta get new scheme.
I actually couldn’t agree more with Dan O for the first time. The shotgun only teams are terrible to watch. I remember Peyton Manning’s offenses doing nothing but shotgun. You need balance, you need play action..
He’s not the only one who’s frustrated at this team and how they play and call plays. No creativity at all . Screen passes and passes underneath. That’s it. That’s the way Zac has called plays since he’s been here.
Was orlovsky better than all the qb he talks about?as a pats fan i'm glad we won but on the colts game i saw an incredible richardson with an bazooka arm if he can ceep this up colts gonna end up high!
Dan Pitcher is horrible. Predictable, easy to read, no wrinkles, no play action, no misdirection, etc. A HUGE part of an offensive coordinators job is to keep defenses guessing EVERY SINGLE PLAY! This team will never win a Super Bowl until this coaching staff is fired and replaced by a confident, disciplined, creative and innovative coaching staff. It's that simple.
Some overreactions in “wk 1” (really preseason game for some guys). Glad Marcus spear brought up Bengals D. Pats have no outside playmakers, they knew Stevenson was running, and couldn’t stop him most of the time. The bengals and turnovers is why the Bengals lost
We are frustrated as fans. it seemed they went vanilla and thought they’d still be able to control the game and win. yes TEE got ruled out late and Jamarr got food poisoning Saturday but still. Chase was open on a lot more critical downs, they couldn’t tackle to save their lives and was disappointing as a season ticket holder to go down like that after the offseason hype. #Brutal
no Dan is completely right we as the fans are sick of seeing the same rinse and repeat they have ZERO things that make them the bengals anymore it's just a bland watered down version
Bengals are cooked. you had the worst defense in the league last year, you don't improve it. what did they expect? Bengals need to clean house, GM , Coaching staff, its been 5 years you have 1 good year when you took everyone by surprise, teams figured it out they haven't been good since. Bengals are in trouble.
@californialove3732 the Lewis ear was marvelous compared to what I sent through in the middle to late 90s.. even early 2000s. I remember the Carters and Blakes lol
@@600flo4 my point exactly, Lamar can’t play less than perfect if he does they want to kick him out of the league. Baker been to 3 different teams and finally showing promise because Mike Evans is a get out of jail free card. Daniel Jones always playing for the other team smh
It’s crazy how when Lamar loses to the defending champs by a toe, when his line play was below average and the refs were clearly biased, he needs to be better and he can’t do this or that…. Mind you he had over 400 yards.. meanwhile Joe goes out put up a horrific performance and it’s the scheme🤣 when are these dudes going to be honest with themselves for once. They always looking for ways to put Lamar down for some reason but protect little Joey with their lives
They act like their job is on the line if they talk about Joe. No way they dogged Lamar and giving Joe a pass. Lamar played 10x better but it’s funny now lol.
The comments bashing burrow like hed the reason we lost LOl dude was doing his job the o line sucked and defense sucked my boy does his job way too good
