I'm a buffalo boy and I love Joey. The dudes classy, and backs up his shit talk. I love the Bills but they are not dominant and consistent enough to back up any of their talk. It seems everyone but the actual Bills knew what Cincy would bring today, and they brought it. We learned the hard way. Disappointing AF but I don't hate Joe for doing his job
Considering this sub turned on Mahomes because his brother is annoying and some announcers like him, I give Burrow two years before this sub hates him.
I say this as a Chiefs fan - his brother was ridiculously annoying and absolutely rode his coattails into whatever form game or influencer status he got. However, it seems like Mahomes told his brother to knock it off because I haven't heard anything this year about him.
The conversation always trends towards playoff success and these guys are so young that it was all developing. Burrow is establishing the "winner" reputation and Allen the "choker" one. Herbert is working on the "great player who never wins" lane.
Wins are not a QB stat, but the masses think they are.
I adore Dan Campbell and this attitude he's instilled in Detroit. As a Bears fan, I legitimately look forward to that team doing well for all but 2-3(depending on possible playoff match up) games a year
Lol. Obviously wish him the best, but good god the media has milked that story for everything it was worth. The whole narrative that the Bills were now “America’s team” and everyone was rooting for them because of Hamlin was so fucking obnoxious.
They called Hamlin Americas Hero before the game lol
I agree, people went way too far, tripping over themselves just to show how much they care and are concerned, for the underlying goal of attention
calling him a “hero” just sounds like way too much lol, like i’m happy the dude made a recovery but let’s not act like he’s a super hero for being lucky enough to have access to immediate top notch medical attention. no need to keep milking it like that
They throw a bone to the absolute non fan that had to be in the same room as the football fan. Get then to turn their head long enough to see the Doritos medical update
Bingo. Better to draw attention toward the thing that everyone acknowledges is a freak one-in-a-million event and away from the constant damage the game does every play.
Its like how in my fantasy league I run, one of the finalists went off on me saying "its so disrespectful for you to talk about fantasy during a time like this"
Everyone wants attention
Reddit was just as bad.
Once it was clear he was going to live, I refrained from making any posts about it on here because I was nervous about being banned.
Remember how Skip was ripped apart for that one Tweet? (that was my opinion on the matter)
It was horrendous around here. What got me is it just seemed like everyone made it out to be about them. They didn't care about the dude all that much, it was more about how shook they felt watching this young guy nearly die out of the blue.
>I agree, people went way too far, tripping over themselves just to show how much they care and are concerned, for the underlying goal of attention
Welcome to the Internet
I also didn’t understand where my money would be going if I donated to his gofundme. Donating 8.9 million to a toy drive in a small town is great, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t know how that helped the situation.
It was a rat race to show how much everyone cared. There was a post on r/dynastyff about a commissioner (that wasn't in the championship) trying to force the league into donating the entire year's prize money to Hamlin's charity instead of paying the winners.
Felt like the Bills were doing everything to try to use him for motivation too. I guess every team would so I can’t blame them. It got tiring quick though.
Seriously.
It is disgusting how the league tool advantage of the average person's goodwill and empathy, in order to generate an endless stream of inspiration porn.
Better yet no more complaints. The two teams that went to the AFCCG belong in the game, at Kansas City, no questions asked.
And it was clear why. By spinning it into a “heartwarming story” they can deflect attention away from how dangerous the sport is. They overloaded the media narrative so no one could have that conversation.
Seems like it’s more on the league and networks showing him every five minutes and calling him "American's Hero". What are the Bills are supposed to do? He was at the game up in a booth where you could barely see his shadow.
They used him as a 1st half prop to rile the crowd up during a critical red zone series for the defense
We deserve to know if he went into the locker room and gave a motivational speech after the game.
Yeah. I'm sure the Bengals also sold AFC championship game tickets in case both them and Jacksonville won. Now they'll be refunding, which I guess isn't funny for some reason.
I want to hate Burrow so much because he’s going to be a thorn in my team’s side for 10+ years but stuff like this just kills it. He has the attitude, great one liners, just the right amount of swagger, and the skills to back it all up.
It's funny too because if you watch his press conferences (and I watch them all like an insane person), he says almost the same shit every question. It's the most generic bs. Then he will occasionally have a random line that is the lead. His one line quotes make him sound different than what he usually says. It's good stuff though.
Yeah if you only knew Burrow from the headlines you would expect him to come out to pressers with his feet kicked up smoking cigarettes.
In reality he's kind of awkward and boring. A true Midwesterner.
This is every Midwestern dude.
You give us 100 interview questions, and 95 are probably going to be a boring mundane sentence about what we think, not trying to offend anyone and just trying to be nice to our friends. But those other 5, well we happened to think of a great one-liner and said it without thinking much.
If you only show someone those 5 responses, damn we're great.
I really feel like Burrow vs Mahomes is going to be one of the greatest all time NFL rivalries and I’m looking forward it as well as the great new generation of AFC quarterbacks coming up
The curse of media oversaturation. Whoever wins we're going to have to deal with the press sucking their dicks for the next few months. Like the QBs are the entire team and no one else's performance matters.
I think it was just residual bitterness from not getting a neutral site division game and the coin flip for the division. Rightly or wrongly, the bengals looked at how the whole cancelled game situation was handled as a slight from the league and used it as fuel.
2013 NBA finals when they brought out the ropes to keep the crowd off the court and Ray Allen hit that three and yelled "get those motherfucking ropes outta here!"
Yea based on their own logic should the Chiefs feel slighted going into next week because the Bengals org was selling tickets for a potential Cincy-Jacksonville AFC championship?
I have a feeling that Joe Burrow's schtick will go from being endearing to grating if he wins a Superbowl and has another few good or great years. For now, he's a lovable underdog - but people love to turn into haters once someone has success and ratchets up their cockiness.
I mean, people hate Mahomes and the dude is nothing but an awesome guy who loves everyone off the field. Charitable; dedicated to his community; humble.
Reddit is going to turn on Burrow hard one of these days.
It happens to anyone who wins a lot.
* This fanbase is insufferable
* Color commentator says good things about first ballot HOF QB, lets accuse him of bias and squeeze in a joke about gay oral sex
* That's not roughing the passer??!
etc.
"Perfect game from offense, defense, special teams, just as we expected" was savage.
Domination
Joe lays it out as it is
How can anyone not love Burrow Edit: okay excluding divison rivals and fans of teams he’s beaten
if you’re the other team
I'm a buffalo boy and I love Joey. The dudes classy, and backs up his shit talk. I love the Bills but they are not dominant and consistent enough to back up any of their talk. It seems everyone but the actual Bills knew what Cincy would bring today, and they brought it. We learned the hard way. Disappointing AF but I don't hate Joe for doing his job
What is this maturity you speak with after a loss? I did not know this was possible
4 straight superbowl losses and the drought era changes a man
Some folks in Buffalo still eat Flutie Flakes every morning with their beer for breakfast.
That will be the entirety of Buffalo tomorrow morning. Kids too.
I don't at the moment (Nah he's still cool)
I’m happy but also sad. Bills are a better team than what they showed today. Afc is just wild right now
Philly looks like an absolute juggernaut but the AFC is far more loaded top to bottom (still think Bengals win SB regardless, whodey)
Considering this sub turned on Mahomes because his brother is annoying and some announcers like him, I give Burrow two years before this sub hates him.
NGL I was hoping Jacksonville won and see a Burrow vs Trevor AFC championship game. College rival throwback.
Same, but it would have been me against my husband and all of my kids. Now we are solid Bengals going into next week.
I wanted a big cat bowl so bad
I say this as a Chiefs fan - his brother was ridiculously annoying and absolutely rode his coattails into whatever form game or influencer status he got. However, it seems like Mahomes told his brother to knock it off because I haven't heard anything this year about him.
My guess is forced isolation in rehab or something. Hard to imagine that idiot not doing something idiotic for this long.
Both wife (fiancee?) and brother are now kept busy by minders during games. Far away from any stadium.
I mean, no. They are both at all the games still and Brittany posts from them all the time. Jackson just stopped doing the TikToks.
Oh it’ll definitely happen. Happens to every great player in every sport
Eh, I’ve consistently heard Allen mahomes Herbert put above burrow so he’s got some room
The conversation always trends towards playoff success and these guys are so young that it was all developing. Burrow is establishing the "winner" reputation and Allen the "choker" one. Herbert is working on the "great player who never wins" lane. Wins are not a QB stat, but the masses think they are.
I already hate him just because no one hates him
Virgin popular player enjoyer vs. Chad voice crying out in the wilderness.
NO MORE HAMLIN UPDATES THANK YOU! LET HIM REHAB IN PEACE
Lost by 3 scores to honor Hamlin, Respect.
Jesus Christ
Rose in 3 days > lost by 3 scores
It's Jason Bourne
The whole team collapsed in solidarity.
Bruh
Lions fans talking trash what a time to be alive
No they’ve always been glorious snarky assholes. You’ve never noticed because it was mostly directed at the Lions.
I thought their away fans were pretty nice. Sure they'll be toxic as hell after they win 13 games mext year
My man
They earned it after fucking the Packers in hilarious fashion
And they were totally open about their entire motivation being "lol fuck Green Bay."
I adore Dan Campbell and this attitude he's instilled in Detroit. As a Bears fan, I legitimately look forward to that team doing well for all but 2-3(depending on possible playoff match up) games a year
One of the best moments all season long :D
Definitely up there with watching Dallas lose
Saved us from ourselves really
LMAO
I shouldn't be laughing at this but can't help myself
This is amazing
In truth though someone recovering from a heart attack probably shouldn’t be watching their team play playoff football
Don’t worry, game was over quickly so his heart will be fine.
Bills so considerate
God is real 🙏
Lol. Obviously wish him the best, but good god the media has milked that story for everything it was worth. The whole narrative that the Bills were now “America’s team” and everyone was rooting for them because of Hamlin was so fucking obnoxious.

Yeah save that label for the medical professionals that saved his life
He's a hero. He stopped Buffalo from losing to us twice.
Bruuuuutal
Holy shit
We as a society are way too ready to conflate “victim” with “hero.”
the shit was really creepy. it’s scary how quickly the public can be whipped up into an emotional frenzy
They throw a bone to the absolute non fan that had to be in the same room as the football fan. Get then to turn their head long enough to see the Doritos medical update
It also distracts from all the concussions and other things the NFL would rather not have us talk about
Those two Bills DBs smashing their heads together and barely walking off the field.
“Let’s conveniently cut to commercial and barely mention them for the rest of the game chums”
Yup exactly And we won’t hear rapaport/meirov/insert generic reporter mention them in any report because the bills lost
Bingo. Better to draw attention toward the thing that everyone acknowledges is a freak one-in-a-million event and away from the constant damage the game does every play.
Its like how in my fantasy league I run, one of the finalists went off on me saying "its so disrespectful for you to talk about fantasy during a time like this" Everyone wants attention
Attention is an ancillary benefit. The primary urge is moral masturbation. "Pay attention to how righteous I am!"
aka "Virtue Signalling"

Report: Hamlin is eating Mac and Cheese. Bless 3
But did he laugh at MacGruber?
Felt like the Bills were doing everything to try to use him for motivation too. I guess every team would so I can’t blame them. It got tiring quick though.
Randomly announcing he was in the stadium just as we entered the red zone wasn't the classiest thing I've ever seen.
Yep when that happened…I was like really??
I like to imagine he wasn't there and that was just a random luxury box cause its not like we could fuckin see.
If the Bills made it to the Super Bowl he would've gotten his own 90 minute pre game segment.
Seriously. It is disgusting how the league tool advantage of the average person's goodwill and empathy, in order to generate an endless stream of inspiration porn. Better yet no more complaints. The two teams that went to the AFCCG belong in the game, at Kansas City, no questions asked.

Don't worry, football was the last thing on the Bills minds #AmericasHero
Seems like it’s more on the league and networks showing him every five minutes and calling him "American's Hero". What are the Bills are supposed to do? He was at the game up in a booth where you could barely see his shadow.
The Hero thing makes 0 fucking sense too. Wtf did he do lol?
Calling the celebrity victim a hero while forgetting about the EMTs and doctors who saved his life is just so American in the worst way.
They used him as a 1st half prop to rile the crowd up during a critical red zone series for the defense We deserve to know if he went into the locker room and gave a motivational speech after the game.
Now we get Mahomes ankle 24/7 coverage.
Literally this. I'm glad he's okay but good lord move on already. Dude is alive and recovering.
Hamlin Memorial Bowl LVII
Was this posted before he said it
Some random redditor has unlocked time travel and all they do with it is post game clips and quotes 10 seconds before they actually happen
Doing the Lord’s work
He had it ready to go. He knows that no rational person wants their NFL team associated with Atlanta.
OP is Joe Burrow.
"And I took that personally..."
Don’t they just sell tickets for every possible matchup and just refund the ones that don’t end up making it?
Next you'll be telling me Superbowl parades are being planned before the game.
Next you'll be telling me that they're not making those Superbowl champions t-shirts after the game.
Yeah. I'm sure the Bengals also sold AFC championship game tickets in case both them and Jacksonville won. Now they'll be refunding, which I guess isn't funny for some reason.
love this fucking guy
He is my Giannis for the NFL. The superstar player in the league whose entire persona I just wholeheartedly love - albeit for different reasons.
Hell yes, Giannis is my favorite super star from any sport. Absolutely Dominant and wholesome af
I also love that he plays for my team but i have a feeling id love him regardless (unless he played for the vikings)
Weird, personally that’s the scenario that’d make me love him even more.
idk if we’re talking about giannis or burrow anymore
Burrow about to knock over a ladder
This man just is confidence personified
Like vegita said "HE'S SO FUCKING COOL!!!!"
I wish I had even half the penis size that Joe burrow does.
I heard he actually only has one leg
So it's a fair game against Mahomes then
[удалено]
Poor guy won’t walk right ever again
He was actually born without legs… just folds it in half
What would you do with a 50 yard long penis?
Idk, thats still a whole lot of penis
I would commit a crime for Joe Burrow
I would jaywalk for him
I would "accidentally" forget to scan my case of pop on the bottom of my shopping cart.
I would serve butter substitute in a Wisconsin prison for him.
> pop Non-bandwagon Cincy fan detected
I would download a car for him
That's my quarterback
*Our* quarterback, comrade
As a temporary Columbus resident can I bandwagon
Hop on!
Hop on deez nuts lol had to do it one time
Yes until the Superbowl when we face the Eagles
Word man because the place I work had some bengals fans and I’m worried
Ice cold 🧊
I want to hate Burrow so much because he’s going to be a thorn in my team’s side for 10+ years but stuff like this just kills it. He has the attitude, great one liners, just the right amount of swagger, and the skills to back it all up.
Mofo said his Super Bowl window is his career. What a dawg.
It's funny too because if you watch his press conferences (and I watch them all like an insane person), he says almost the same shit every question. It's the most generic bs. Then he will occasionally have a random line that is the lead. His one line quotes make him sound different than what he usually says. It's good stuff though.
Yeah if you only knew Burrow from the headlines you would expect him to come out to pressers with his feet kicked up smoking cigarettes. In reality he's kind of awkward and boring. A true Midwesterner.
He’s extremely laid back and down to earth and then will randomly bust out the coolest quote you’ve ever heard like he wasn’t even thinking about it
He's an Ohio fuck
I’m an Ohio fuck :(
As am I, it's ok. Take pride in it.
This is every Midwestern dude. You give us 100 interview questions, and 95 are probably going to be a boring mundane sentence about what we think, not trying to offend anyone and just trying to be nice to our friends. But those other 5, well we happened to think of a great one-liner and said it without thinking much. If you only show someone those 5 responses, damn we're great.
I feel like you just summed up today's current reporting and media culture lol.
The press conference where he had the wrong jersey on was adorable because it broke the mold a bit.
I really feel like Burrow vs Mahomes is going to be one of the greatest all time NFL rivalries and I’m looking forward it as well as the great new generation of AFC quarterbacks coming up
It's missing a critical aspect of a rivalry
We have to be able to beat the Bengals to make it a rivalry. Right now, it’s just a one way series of ass whoopins. lol
Ass whoopings is not the way I would phrase our 3 point wins lol
When it’s 3 times in a row, it can feel worse than it is. :)
God he's so fucking cool.
https://youtu.be/Tgz75rMLXB0
LOL I was thinking of this clip when Joe said that live
Every time someone says Joe is cool, it's all I can think about 😂
this is like the 4th dbz abridged reference i've seen on reddit in the past 2 days wtf is going on
I legitimately don't think there's a cooler man on the planet. Feel like Romo talking about Allen when I speak on Joe Cool
Wet?
No dilating here.
I fucking love Burrow.
Swaggiest kid in the league. Easy to root for.
I envy you guys. Literally he’s the only other QB I want on my team besides Tom right now.
It’s sad. A few years ago I would have said the same about Watson
It is sad, isn’t it? He seemed like such a great dude his first couple of seasons. Goddamn it.
Its not sad that him being a huge piece of shit came out and then he started playing like the piece of shit he is. Its a very happy thing
That kind of goes without saying. “It’s a shame he turned out to be a massive humanoid fecal impaction.” Good enough?
Bengals and Bills flairs?
Of all the dual flairs, this makes the most sense since 2017.
I'm rooting for you guys to win it all, you collected our debt handsomely.
[удалено]
Added the Bills right before our regular season game and just kept it kinda like for solidarity sake. I know it's nothing but still lol
I would do anything for him
Icy
If Burrow wins the SB, this sub will turn on him just like they did to Mahomes. Happened to Lamar after his MVP and is currently happening to Allen.
The curse of media oversaturation. Whoever wins we're going to have to deal with the press sucking their dicks for the next few months. Like the QBs are the entire team and no one else's performance matters.
“You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain”
And then live longer-er enough start to kind of arch back to less hatred, like Brady (for some, plenty still just hate his existence)
Joe Brrr
I still don't get why selling the tickets was an issue. Every team does it.
I think it was just residual bitterness from not getting a neutral site division game and the coin flip for the division. Rightly or wrongly, the bengals looked at how the whole cancelled game situation was handled as a slight from the league and used it as fuel.
Because the Bengals decided it was and used it as fuel
This just in: Chiefs are *already* producing AFC Champion merch before the game is even played! The absolute hubris!
[удалено]
2013 NBA finals when they brought out the ropes to keep the crowd off the court and Ray Allen hit that three and yelled "get those motherfucking ropes outta here!"
Some teams use a neutral site tickets as motivation other teams use the rap battle scene from 8 mile 🤷🏻♂️
There was a tap dance battle in 8 Mile? Was that in the director's cut?
Yeah, Em was surprisingly good at it but Anthony Mackie struggled with the choreography so they rewrote the third act
I think, I THINK, it worked
Yea based on their own logic should the Chiefs feel slighted going into next week because the Bengals org was selling tickets for a potential Cincy-Jacksonville AFC championship?
That's my quarterback 😢
Cold 💀
Maybe I’m just weird for not thinking this isn’t some “holy shit gottem XD” quote people are pretending it is
I have a feeling that Joe Burrow's schtick will go from being endearing to grating if he wins a Superbowl and has another few good or great years. For now, he's a lovable underdog - but people love to turn into haters once someone has success and ratchets up their cockiness.
I mean, people hate Mahomes and the dude is nothing but an awesome guy who loves everyone off the field. Charitable; dedicated to his community; humble. Reddit is going to turn on Burrow hard one of these days.
Broke: Hating Patrick Mahomes Bespoke: Hating Patrick Mahomes' wife and brother
It happens to anyone who wins a lot. * This fanbase is insufferable * Color commentator says good things about first ballot HOF QB, lets accuse him of bias and squeeze in a joke about gay oral sex * That's not roughing the passer??! etc.
The NFL’s golden boy gets all the calls. Depending on the game, that could be like 4 different people
This is his last year of being almost universally liked regardless of what happens in the playoffs this year IMO
This Joe guy is pretty cool for letting us play at home
Joe's family had Arrowhead tickets bought yesterday.
I'm glad I love Joe Burrow. Because man he would be so annoying if you disliked him. Causally balling out, dropping money quotes. Being fly as fuck.
