I respect Dj and believe he has to do what he feels is right.
I also feel like it's going to be a tough deal if some dudes are ready to go (Burrow) and others aren't so sure. This team has outstanding chemistry and I don't want a wedge driven into it because some players want to go and others don't. That could cost the bengals the division and I'm not sure every player would be copacetic with that result.
At some point, the game in general has to go on. Prolonging things doesn't honor Damar Hamlin in any way shape or form. Honestly, it probably makes things worse on a macro level.
They weren't on-field incidents, but the 09 team played 4 days after learning that Chris Henry was dead. They played when Mike Zimmer's wife passed. They played when Adam Zimmer died this year.
