Joe Burrow on Mike Gesicki in the post-game press conference: "That guy was so valuable for us all year, and a guy that, in my opinion, we need to bring back." He's not mincing words these days. He said essentially the same thing about Tee earlier in the week. Good. Make this weenie front office feel some heat to be proactive.

Some final tallies for the best on the team: Joe Burrow 460* / 652* (70.6%*), 4,918 yards*, 45 TDs* (2 rushing), 9 INTs, 7.5 ypa Ja'Marr Chase 127 receptions*, 1,708 yards*, 17 TDs**, 13.4 ypc Trey Hendrickson 17.5 sacks** * Franchise record ** Ties franchise record (Carl Pickens and Trey Hendrickson) Burrow just barely eclipsed Ken Anderson's longstanding completion percentage record by the following margin: 70.55214 70.55016

Dedicating all of my voodoo resources to Carson Wentz auditioning to keep his career alive and Aaron Rodgers/Davante Adams going out with a storybook bang.

JFC. GO JETS. GO CHIEFS.

GOOD PRESSURE BY MURPHY

This team has already blown multiple ten point leads to Baltimore. Pretty much just what they are.

I blame ADG for that. Can’t get your ass kicked on a TFL

Myles Murphy has the single season record for “appearing on camera after someone else makes a tackle”

Unsure if bad pass or miscommunication with Gesicki

Zac is getting way too Marvin with these timeouts

Lucky that wasn’t a delay of game. Play clock expired first

Burrow back in

Big play Ivey

Ball probably knocked the wind out of him

Making Murphy’s constant nothing easier to stomach

That was the trademark Chad Johnson TD that Chase barely missed.

Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for Lou to call a heavy blitz that doesn’t immediately get eaten for a first down.

You can’t rely on getting rid of the ball quickly into tight short coverage all game long. That usually leads to breakdowns and interceptions. The OL must find a way to give Joe enough time to develop a downfield passing game, or PIT will just sit on their heads.

Forced to Chase for the INT. Typical frustrating outing against Pittsburgh

Joe is amazing, but he needs to shore up ball security. Too many fumbles.

Offense often struggles once the scripted plays end

Need to throw down the field. Constant quick game is not sustainable. OL needs to nut up.

Third down incompletion forced? With no flag? Incredible

Herbert had the first down if he just drove through. No idea why he turtled up.

Extend Gesicki
