I will take the win.
Andrews is a huge loss, but I feel good about Likly and Kolhar (?) filling in.
I’d hate it if the bengals played dirty and still won, and with us being so close to the end of the season, I’ll take the W
It is kinda fucked up to frame the question like that, because it makes you directly responsible for the outcomes, but everyone is at risk every game. Guys go out and play to win knowing that. If you were gonna take the deal to avoid the injury and take the loss, where do you draw the line? When do you stop forfeiting games? Mandrews could have been hurt in the next game, or the next game, and so on. At some point you have to man up and shit up and our guys do it every week because they want to win.
This game was pretty damn important to the divisional standings. The browns or Steelers WILL get a win Sunday and say least one if not both have tie breakers on us, so if we went to 4 losses with the bye coming up, our lead over the division could disappear like that.
