Burrow literally beat Allen in the playoffs and he only been in the league 5 years 😂
Shannon Sharpe is a clown. I can pull up records of him talking about Lamar winning MVPs but no SB. WTH!!?
Notice how Jalen won the SB, now they is a big issue with Ring culture. Like how can it be a negative to aspire for a SB ring?
I got an idea why the bengals start slow. Defense. Defense is always ahead of the offense but for some reason and I would bet d coordinator is why they start so bad. Now burrow didn't have a training camp until last season so the first game I'll blame on him. But the bengals d hasn't looked very good til week 6 or so. Thats on the coordinator in my opinion
I’m hopping off
These ppl shouldn't talk football first joe was robbed in his 2nd afccg vs kc Allen defense let him down vs kc and the refs robbed the bills this year so how can u criticize either without giving full content and most importantly its a team sport joe & josh can only do so much its not basketball where 1 guy can take over the game cuz he plays on offense and defense
I never heard of josh palmer his agent grinding hard i see 💯🔥
Lots of people have been ringless during Mahomes' reign, same as lots of great QBs went ringless during Brady's constant superbowl era. I do think Josh Allen and the Bills get closer every year, and I think his time will come and he'll get a ring. I don't think Burrow will
He lost to Pat Joe & Lamar in the playoffs
but lamar better win
The topic shouldve been which team is closer to winning a SB. Yet we are back here with this ring conversation
Shannon nailed it. It’s hard to win. Modern NFL fans are spoiled with back to back dynasties in NE and KC. Even with my Eagles not being a dynasty but having 4 Super Bowl appearances in 20 years with 2 wins. My fan base is acting entitled.
Joe burrow is better than Allen. Hurts is better than burrow rn. Hurts is 2nd to Mahomes because he beat us in the game that mattered most. Yes he’s over burrow cause he WON
Brady went about ten seasons between rings and burrow has been in the nfl for 5 seasons. Not 7
Everyone in America saw he got first down nfl admitted by going electronically after fact! NFL gifted chiefs 7 points ! Game changing screw up on NFL not on Josh!
Is he forgetting about the Bills 17 year playoff drought
Missed playoffs from 2000 to 2016 made it in ‘17 cuz dalton beat the ravens ! Bills weren’t a powerhouse before Allen! Allen threw to Diggs yr3 otherwise he had Robert foster , Cole Beasley , kelvin Benjamin zay jones lee smith gabe Davis who had 2 decent games in like 4 seasons ( chiefs and Steelers)
Allen has been in league 7 years missed playoffs his rookie year ( also hurt and missed 4 games and thrust into starting cuz peterman sucked so bad!!has 40+ total TD’s 5 straight years , won 5 straight division titles but yeah? He sucks ! Do you really watch the games???

And yet Allen has been hurt had same injury that Brock Purdy had in Super Bowl ( required surgery) Allen didn’t miss a game played thru ( even thru a 70yd bomb 2 plays after happened that hit Gabe Davis in Hands and he dropped) played with a broken hand ( though on non throwing hand) most of this past season!!he plays thru his injuries !

Probably Jim Kelly last bills player to win playoff game before Allen!!
They make toooooo many excuses for Josh… 2 years in a row… he has had the ball in the 4th with more than enough time to score and hasn't come through! Last season… Khalil is wide open, 2023… Diggs is wide open on the drag… he goes for the TD instead!
It's even harder to win when the chiefs have the refs in there pocket every year
Did bro just learn the word “conversely” today 😂 snuck that in every sentence 😂
I think the media is a bit harsh on the Bengals! They will be fine and any team would have problems if they were in a similar situation when it comes to contract extensions 💯
