I understand the the frustration of losing Burrow, but we have no idea how much time he’s going to miss.
That was a tough loss last night, but there is still a lot of football left. The AFC is a clusterfuck, and a lot of teams are going to beat each other up.
I get the tiebreaker stuff, but if Bengals make a run a lot of that can correct itself naturally. They still have 6 AFC games left, and 3 North ones.The team looked good last night overall until the injury. They responded to that punch well and looked like they could take control of the game after the touchdown. I think the wind was taken out of their sails in the moment and it affected both sides of the ball. Shit happens.
Now if Burrow is out for a bunch of games then yeah, we are probably done. But I would at least wait until we learn more. If it’s short term then it’s possible. I think they can beat the Steelers at home with Browning.
Because you have one of the hardest schedules remaining, an awful conference record, and you basically need to go 6-1 to get a playoff place. With a backup QB.
