I was disappointed that a rookie Qb was able to come in, read our D and then have his first option open for a quick throw and catch. Why were we giving Burrow soft coverage and underneath stuff?
Answer: Because Troy Apke was your starting FS with Kamren Curl.
While it wasnt pretty, and I think the Bengals would have made a game of things if Burrow didnt get hurt, the game plan worked. Give them the underneath stuff and protect Apke/Curl.
Yes Burrow went 22/34 but he only had around 200 yards passing and we somehow held them to 3/13 on 3rd down conversion. Watching the game, it felt like Burrow was on pace for 350 yds and 50% conversion rate.
Odd game to watch. Was ugly but you dont get extra points for style. This approach wont work against better talent and I dont feel good feeling like we eeked out a win vs the second worst team in the NFL.
We are a bottom 5 team who could be leading their division come Thursday night. What a strange state of affairs.
