Is media going to slobber all over Burrow this week, like the tail end of last post-season?

He is pretty likeable but man does he get a lot of breaks in these games.

Philly -7.5 v NYG

Bills need to get pressure on Burrow next week. No reason they shouldn't be able to as Cinci has a makeshift OL down three starters.

This weekend outside of SF its been a competition of who wants to lose more...

Other than Slayton’s drop, the Giants offense played great. Vikings offense played well too. Zero turnovers in the game.

I think he’s pretty corny, personally.

His high-flying offense put up 17 points tonight. 26, 19, 27 (OT) and 20 points in the playoff games last years.

I think folks tend to focus on his weapons and not the five guys in front of him. His line stunk last year and seemed to improve this year but more recently has been decimated by injuries. Like most great QBs if u give him time he'll light you up. But tonight he was getting the ball out immediately because he knew he didn't have the time.

I think they will, in the game a couple weeks ago they didn't but it was too early in the game and like today, I think they would've gotten going eventually. Even without Von they have a decent pass rush

KC -9 v JAX
Buff -4 v CINCI

That's fair. He's just gotten lots of credit for being Joe Cool when his best playoff game is [Raiders? Chiefs?] not great.

I don't know, there are a plenty of guys in the NFL that are overrated or who get more credit than they deserve. Burrow is an elite QB so it doesn't strike me as out of line in terms of his favorable pub. It doesn't hurt his rep that he wins - 4-1 in the playoffs. Josh Allen is an elite QB as well but I can nit pick at his game too. They're both tremendous.

Bengals injured Oline won’t be as much of a factor next week against the punchless bills pass rush and leslie Fraziers 3rd and long 3 man rushes

Your comment makes me think they will. How did your boy Jeff Wilson do today btw?

You mean with a non NFL caliber QB at the helm? That’s is a Great way to judge the quality of an RB.

It doesn’t matter who coaches Dallas.

The owner picks the players and that dynamic kills the coach.

Any non-retread coach worth his salt knows this which is why none of them choose to work for him.

It’ll be worse when Stephen takes over after Jerry croaks.

I thought I saw a stat that Dallas has a far higher percentage of its own pick on the team, or maybe on teams in general, than any other team. However it was presented, it seems like they do a good job with their picks,

They do a pretty good job with their picks but its entirely driven by whom the owner/GM covets on draft day and not always what the team needs.

The GM also refuses to sign free agents at positions of need so that also forces them to stack their roster with homegrown picks.

Obtaining compensatory picks for letting other teams sign players the GM has fallen out of love with also helps accomplish this.

The Jones family has been a case study in how not to keep your mouth shut when discussing the roster value of players they want to move or re-sign.

Could this finally be the year of a Bills/Niners SB? I remember Chris Berman back in the day used to predict that matchup every year. I think one or the other made it like 7 straight years in the late 80s and early 90s, but never both.

Not sure the Bills get by Cincy

Outside of San Francisco nobody separated themselves from the pack this weekend.

Buffalo and Cincinnati both were pretty sloppy. Both olines were a mess.

Cincy with three backup lineman ...don't think they can score enough.

This is a weird matchup because it puts the worst oline left in the playoffs against the worst dline.

If Skylar Thompson can lead a scoring drive vs the bills, you could put me at guard and Burrow’s still slicing and dicing

It's funny, out of 17 games this season (16 regular season + 1 playoff game), the vaunted Bengals' offense has managed to score 30+ points only 3 times. And as far as I know, their OL was healthy through the first 15 games.

Yep, that is funky. The AFC North’s a brutal division though. May not be any overly impressive teams but that division will wear you down and not allow points.

Always miserable when I see baltimore, Cleveland, cincy and pitt on the phins schedule

I'd say they're consistent more than explosive. Cinci has won nine in a row at an average of 28.5 per game in that stretch.
