3 CIN players are top-1 in passing, receiving and sacks. And their team is 5-8

[Artem Lipatov]

If you see NFL stats:

Burrow is best passer right now with a good gap.

Chase is best receiver with a good gap.

Hendricson is best in sacks.

And their team is 5-8 and outside playoff picture.

How is it possible?

the rest of the team stinks

[GunnerBill]

They are really poorly coached, their oline still stinks and their defensive backfield is a mess. 

[Artem Lipatov]

I thought great QB and great pass rusher is guarantee of strong playoff team, like Mahomes and Chris Jones in KC. My opinion,  a lack of really great sacks maker is difeerence maker for Bills right now

That and their losses are to Baltimore 2x, Chiefs, Washington, Philly, LAC, and Pittsburgh. 

 

A bad week 1 loss to NE. Cincinnati has been a slow starting team for a few years, that’s coaching. The contract holdouts didn’t help for that week 1 game.

 

It’s a combination of things. They could’ve won all these games easily besides the Philly game.

Bad coaching.  A lot of defensive talent let go and their draft picks to replace them haven't really panned out the way they hoped.  Some bad luck in one score games.  Oh, and somehow Cody Ford is starting at left tackle.

It's further evidence that stats alone don't tell the whole story.

 

A lot of damage Burrow and Chase make is straight up stat padding after the team is behind and they are in comeback mode. 

[Sweats]

I think their D is worse than ours.........shocking, i know.

[zow2]

The loss to NE and some other high scoring losses...the Commanders, Steelers and two Ravens games come to mind.

they are 2-8 in one score games..

 

NE 16-10

KC with that PI and last sec FG

WAS in that back and forth no punt game 

BAL blew 4 thW 2 score lead, miss FG in OT and lose

BAL back and forth game. Scored with under a minute, went for 3 and failed losing 35+34

LAC try made a 2nd half comeback but fell short

PIT 

 

their wins was CLE and that punt in DAL

 

3-6 when scoring 25+points 

 

on the Sack leader — haven’t dug in, but I wonder how many of those came in a few games ( CLE, CAR, LV, NYG)

They give up way too many points, kinda like the Bills posting 42 and getting beat.. I know it’s crazy to people, but the team that scores the most points in any particular game wins.  When the other team at least puts up a stop or 2, it’s a difference.

[SoMAn]

Desperation garbage time stats or they suck in the red zone.

[QB Bills]

Outside of the Ravens, they're still the team I'd least like the Bills to play in the wild card round. Maybe even beyond.

Or any sack maker, really ......

[Man with No Name]

They are a terrible organization. it made me feel a lot better about having to deal with the massive talent of Joe Burrow, for the next 15 years, when I remembered this.

Stats are for losers.

Burrows #s are so inflated though. They're always either in a shootout or trailing and forced to pass, have bad run game, Josh last week doing what Burrow does every game put up astronomical #s, with weapons missing 

[SCBills]

Tough schedule & outside of Hendrickson, their defense is terrible and while Burrow is elite and Chase is a monster, Higgins missed some time and their OL allows Burrow to get beat up week in/week out…

 

…which, of course, means if they sneak into the playoffs and we have to play them, our DL will somehow not lay a finger on him.  

This is also their “all in” year, because their owner struggles with cash liquidity and moving forward exactly zero of their big time players (outside Burrow) would ever take any type of even minor discount to stay there.

They need to fire Zak and hire McD. 

[DapperCam]

Their head coach needs to be fired. He stinks!
