Typically Shannon on point but this a miss fr and I’m not a Joe fan
Were people blaming Mahomes for not scoring enough to beat the Rams in 2018 when the final was 51-54 the same way they blame Burrow for all these high scoring efforts that get wasted by the defense?
If Joe is on the Bills, Ravens, or Lions they are distinctly better.
I've never heard anybody but Shannon say anything about these white QBs. They all get passes and here we go again. The man had 3 turnovers but nothing is his fault that's crazy
Shannon soiled himself on this one embarrassing
Burrow needs a better defense
Can’t agree with Shannon because how the Steelers score 34 points. They don’t do that 😂😂😂😂
Shannon must have lost a bet. He's arguing these losses are on Burrow with this dude having elite stats. Its like when CU lost yo teams they shouldn't have. No one was saying it was Sheduers fault. Because everytime they lose its mainly the defensive play that gives them trouble. Sheduers arm talent is top teir and the offense reflects that when they play. Same as the Bengals. Their defense has allowed this record. Joe Burrow is a top 5 playing QB right now.
As a Pittsburgh fan all ima say If Joe played some good ball ‼️😎
These guys like picking on good ole Dan O
all turnovers not equal is literally dan’s point. joe does have to own the ravens L though
Every single time Burrow throws an Int or gets a Turnover, it is ALWAYS someone elses fault. Peope need to hold Burrow accountable for his issues. Shannon is right.
Shannon is ignorant in this segment
I'm with Shannon on this cause they go harder on Lamar than they do on Joe. Its only recently they started holding him accountable.
Why is no gonna blame the defense? Why is no blaming the defense at being ranked the lowest and not getting stops?
I’m from Cincinnati and a life long bengals fan, both have valid arguments. It’s mostly not Joes fault, but to say when he has turnovers or interceptions that flipped the game has no blame at all isn’t honest. They’re not a winning team this yr, coach down to special teams.
in Shannon's own words "He is becoming what he despises most" He is allowing his emotions to overshadow his debating, which can lead to a condescending disposition, resulting in, nobody is right but him.
To be fair, TJ Watt created both of those Fumbles.
I don’t get the argument, Joe Burrow’s is as good as the best in the NFL, and he has put up ridiculous numbers this year, and turnovers come from trying to do too much. This has more to do with the coaching, the defense, and offensive line. If you wanna blame burrows sure. And to be fair Mahomes, and Payton had crappy defense, but they were opportunistic. They made key plays down the road that won them games. Where as the Bengals defense are not doing that.
Anytime shannon is making a Goat argument for Lebron plz play that clip to him, now i see why skip poopooed on him about tom Brady, look at his energy when he doesn't like a player, Skip was right
Ain't no excuses for Joe at all yall gotta stop lol everything fall on the quarterback lol
We all know Shannon and Stephen are closet racist. Put Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson and the Bengals would be winless. I expect nothing more from Kamala Harris supports 🙂
No way yall arguing about the bengals being 🍑
Wow love how there’s no conversation happening like this about mahomes being awful this year stay wise because he winning. While he’s winning mainly due to an incredible defense and great all around special teams play. The easiest way to Edna this dumb conversation for Shannon is switch mahomes and burrow I can guarantee burrow would still be scoring pooints while winning games because of that incredible kc defense and Travis kelce on offense. Meanwhile mahomes would flounder and flop considering I don’t think he’s score more then 35 points in a game this season which burrow is having to do every single week to have a chance…. Blaming him for losses when they lost by a kick is insanity.
This has to be a prank right
Shannon has to know hes wrong and trollin
Thank you Shannon
I wish Dan asked him why Mahomes 11 interceptions hasn’t caused his team to lose.
You can't say the Chiefs defense was worse than the Bengals, they had Honey Badger and Chris Jones. Name 2 player other than Trey that come close to them.
Shannon can't be this dumb. I refuse to believe it.
Shannon Sharpe is an idiot!!!!
I fxxk with Shannon the troll 😂😂😂😂
“If he go on Expedia and book his trip now, he’ll save a lot money. BECAUSE HE’LL BE AT HOME”!!! Shannon with the WWE promo 😭
Shannon sharp starting to sound and act like Michael Irving…
He not blaming Joe borrow he is saying if you mentioning his name with the greats he have to get the Ws
Shannon wants all the smoke 😂
Thats the worst take i have seen from Shannon, its crazy lol.. and SAS have no clue what he is talk about, he was just spitting a bunch of words without saying shi*.. shannon was just absolute hating whitout even trying to listen to what Dan was saying, he was just trying to flame the debate and talk shi* about joe burrow and Dan takes
crazy work out of shannon
Two things can be true.. Joe Burrow is playing out of his mind and has no help defensively, while his turnovers and missed throws happen at the absolute worst time every game
You can’t have 3 turnovers and not take majority of the responsibility. I love Joe but he has to be held to a high standard like the top QBs. His job is to win even if it means scoring 50 Brady didn’t have the numbers he had the Ws. Can’t be great if you can’t win.
Bengals wouldn't even be in these games without Joe burrow.
This version of Joe is better than the one that went to the superbowl
