Lol, are we really so insecure about Burrow that we're going to try and reduce him to Kirk Cousins' level just to protect our egos?


You can't name 5 QBs that are legitimately better than Burrow. Put another way name 5 QBs from last season you'd rather have under center for the Chiefs if Mahomes didn't exist.

Case closed.

Joe "Cool" and being elite? Yeah, no.
 

If Burrow doesn’t want to be compared to Cousins he should turn into him in the playoffs.

ROFL

If he's putting up Cousins-ish numbers in the playoffs with THAT WR corps, it's not a stretch to say he isn't as good as Cousins in the postseason.

Still not elite despite the new contract.

Meh. It's Week 1. As I recall, CIN started slowly last year. Finished the season with 8 straight Ws?

Wouldn't close their coffin any time soon.

It's week 1.... the Benglas will be fine and in the playoffs.

Anyone over-reacting to this Bengals loss (as nice as it may be) is just the same type of person that says the Chiefs are done.

You're correct. They also seem to struggle with Cleveland, even when Cleveland sucks. Myles Garrett seems to be the perfect guy to ruin the game for Burrow.

It's too early to panic, but their offensive line getting destroyed should raise some red flags. Another game or two like that, I'll be writing them off.

Garrett is a monster. Love watching that guy play.

You know who else they struggled with last season, BAL. Looking forward to BAL kicking their shit in.

Pittsburgh is another one that seems to give Cincy a tough time. If TJ Watt is healthy, it's a similar game-wrecking situation to Myles Garrett.

Sadly in previous matchups, it seems the only time the Chiefs defense can get serious pressure on Burrow is when his entire OL is wiped out with injury.

Got lots of respect for joe, great qb.

But I’d love to see them lose 3 straight so the world can see how quickly those fans will bail on their team at the slightest hint of adversity

Losing by 1 due to a shitload of flukey drops vs getting destroyed by a mediocre team….

And last year Cincy had some really bad losses to both Pittsburgh & Cleveland (bad teams). By the end of the season Cincy was a very tough team for anyone to beat.
