Burrow has not been good for his standards. His completion and touchdown percentages, as well as yards per attempt and yards per game, are all the worst in the past two seasons. His pressure percentage is down but his pocket time is also down. He’s only top 10 in completions, attempts, and interception percentage. There are people still betting on him to win MVP but so far he may be 8th at best right now. The trade deadline has passed, is a Joe Burrow turnaround necessary for our season to get back on track?
The running game has been bad. The defense has already been better than the offense. Seems like Burrow and the passing game are the best hope.
For a team that’s 2-4 when Burrow has 2 TDs and 1 interception or worse y’all either seem convinced he’ll play like he did against San Francisco, Arizona, and Buffalo more often or they’re going to win more games that are decided by less than a touchdown when he doesn’t play well. I just don’t know how many games can be expected where he completes 77.86% of his passes for over 315 yards and 2 or more touchdowns with at most one turnover can be expected in 8 crucial games. 4-4 might not be good enough to make the playoffs so if he doesn’t play their best football, how do they win?
