Bengals at Chargers (-1.5) Pre Game Discussion (Wk 11)

[charger1_sj]

Over the course of their careers, Burrow has benefitted from better OL play than Herbert. Even if Burrow's Cinn OLs have never been ranked above average, they're still better than what the Chargers had protecting Herbert.

The stats do not bear that out. Burrow has been sacked and pressured way more than Herbert. You can say he holds on to the ball too long. But the truth is Cincy
Oline has been a disaster, leading to many injuries Burrow has had. Over the years it's true that Burrow has had a better run game, better elite receivers
and better coaching. Unfortunately that does not change the perception throughout the league and fans.

Joey BRRRRRRR....

Imagine choking with 3 minutes to go and getting ZERO blame. Cincy fans and media actually say Chase ran a bad route. Watch the video and look at how annoyed Higgins is. He was wide open and with a catch the game is over.

I've never seen a more overrated QB than Joe Burrow

Becasue he is a below-average athlete and his pressure-to-sack rate is awful.

You are spouting complete nonsense....COMPLETE

Chips are down? When has Mahomes played a playoff game without Kelce? Herberts one playoff game he had zero run game and only Keenan Allen and scored 30 points. How many teams have scored 30 in a playoff game and lost? Burrow has never scored 30 in a playoff game. Burrow has a whopping 9 TD passes in 7 playoff games. His last playoff game he had 2 picks vs. KC. The one win in KC his defense held Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce to THREE POINTS IN THE SECOND HALF.

The Bengals are now 1-10 with Joe Burrow when trailing by one score and taking over possession with 1-8 minutes left in regulation.

Do you know what the 1 win was? This....

Give Herbert weapons like this and he has a few rings. Jamar CHase has 12 Tds of 60 or more yards already in his career. Keenan Allens longest ever was 43...LOL

To be honest that sounds like a lot of excuses. We had big games many times and lost to teams we should have beaten. Not laying blame on Herbert.
But it is what it is. League wide Burrow is rated higher than Herbert.

I remember a couple years ago Miami fans were absolutely sure Tua > Herbert. That was not the case league wide. So while we Charger fans certainly
have a vastly different opinion it is skewed by our bias. Those that rate Burrow ahead of Herbert have a far more objective view than we do.

Now rating one QB over another is a very touchy and subjective matter to begin with, so there's that.

The Bengals have released their final injury report for the game. The Chargers' hasn't come out yet:

League wide Burrow is rated higher than Herbert.

Its a bull crap narrative. A lot built on winning in college with maybe the best team ever. Jefferson and chase...anyone wins that.

[BigBad]

Game on the line vs the PAts in the opener....What does all world Joey Brrrrrr do....

What a skittish little B*^%&(

I don't believe this to be true. Do you have a link to the stats that document this?

[Charge!]

Been saying this for years

agree.... because you have to get more then 22 players playing together, Coaching is the absolute #1 factor to winning..... if you get 2 well coached teams, the team with the best QB will ususally win...especially in playoffs.....

I live in Ohio and am a Chargers fan. I've watched every game of both QBs. Im telling you right now if you switched these QBS starting in 2021 when the Bengals got chase, the bengals have multiple rings.

Fantasy Football dilemma: I have Joe Burrow and CJ Stroud as my QBs. I've been rolling with Burrow the past several weeks and doing very well! But I HATE starting a gameday opposition player.

Would you still start Burrow or would you swap to Stroud, who has struggled the past several weeks, but has Dallas on Monday night?

Dont sit your studs, as a rule.

Stroud hasnt been great. Is Nico back for sure?
