None of the above typed, is true.
Except for Mike Brown but as i typed in another thread, he's hands off now and has been since Zac arrived.

That team was so good they got Orgeron a NC. He then comes to Cincy and it took having Boyd, Higgins, Mixon, and Chase to make that offense hum. Show me evidence of Burrow doing anything significant without being surrounded by elite skill players. If not he’s not the GOAT you claim he is.
Burrow's really fucking good.
He's my QB2 in all of football.
Luckily, we have QB1.
But the institutional advantages of the NFL are about to hit the Bills and Bengals as they'll have to pay their elite QB as well as deal with drafting at the bottom. We'll see what's what then. We've been doing it for YEARS now.
And their bill is coming due. We're paying Mahomes as elite, and we're still right there in contention for a championship. How will they fare when they have to do that? [Reply]

Without Mahomes getting the football 2" over the plane on 4th and goal, they don't get that TD and lose 27-17. See how dumb that sounds?
My point still stands, same thing @ the Patriots. Refs missed a forward progress that handed you the W. Enjoy your luck, better get one this year. Get ready to dish out half your cap on Chase and Burrow. [Reply]

There's a clip of Joe Mixon on twitter and he's asked about the bengals proving a point on monday night football. And his response is "what people have to realise and understand is we're the big dawg of the AFC and that's just what it is". Great..keep talking Joe and make sure you back that up on Monday!!..then we'll revisit this quote in January. [Reply]
