Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals coaching staff experienced some technical difficulties in last Saturday's win over the Tennessee Titans when Burrow's headset went out.

With Burrow not getting commands from head coach Zach Taylor, the former LSU star had to call his own plays, which was a first for him.

At that level, in a playoff game, having the QB's headset go out is pretty bad. Someone fricked up.

Look at the head coach of the other team. That should tell you all you need to know. The Patriot way.

You misspelled a whole bunch of words there. Maybe figure out how to better yourself before running your mouth about shite in which you obviously know nothing.

No LSU fan is surprised by this.

I noticed this in game. They had a great possession when this happened. Not really surprising. Joe is sharp as hell and preps with the best of them.

Love Burrow, but he needs to slow his roll and calm down on the cockiness. Win a super bowl first.

That’s not what your wife said

Stfu bro. Burrow has confidence, just like every elite QB should. Cincy was dead in the water before he got there. He doesn’t need to win a super bowl this year to prove anything. Also, it’s not as if he has guaranteed a Super Bowl. When he was back at LSU, he did guarantee a 40-50 ppg offense back in the spring and he guaranteed wins over Oklahoma and Clemson. Dude backed up every single one of those guarantees. So he honestly has the right to be confident bordering on cocky.

He is going to make a hell of a coach when his playing days are over.
