I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.
QB Joe Burrow is going through a workout this morning. I'm told there's optimism he will play and his status for tonight is trending in the right direction, per sources. Burrow is campaigning with the coaching staff and trainers to play, however his status is still uncertain.
Should’ve listened to Jamar in the first place when he told him not to play until he was 100%. They’re crazy to let him play. Like Patrick, you sometimes have to keep the player from getting in his own way. They can overcome 0-3. They ain’t overcoming burrow being out for multiple weeks. [Reply]
lol playing burrow right now is such a monumentally dumb idea. like i get it you don't want to be 0-3 but it's not like that would be the end of the season, the bengals aren't the broncos, 0-3 isnt the end of the season plus the rams are an NFC team. you play the chiefs and the bills. you drop one of those games because burrow isn't 100% after the bye, you've dropped a home field tiebreaker to beat an NFC team that isn't going to the superbowl. and that's assuming you win and burrow doesn't get injured further.

It's fucking insanity. Learned absolutely nothing from Luck retiring in his prime years, and that just might happen if they keep throwing Burrow out already injured behind a sieve of an OL. [Reply]
