Not to necessarily call Jake Browning a sacrificial lamb, but would it be better to put him in there tonight to deal with Donald?
Maybe I just have PTSD from 2020 Commanders game with Jonathan Allen just blowing through Michael Jordan.

While hindsight is 20/20, there should already be plenty of scrutiny. They've come out and admitted that the (already lackluster) playcalling was hamstrung by Burrow's calf. Again, it's easy to say now that we're already 0-2, but it probably would have made more sense to start Burrow on the PUP list. The QB2 already had all the reps during the preseason with the 1s, and little to no tape for opponents to study. Browning might have been able to guide us to a win or two and give Burrow another month. Now we're in a no-man's-land of Burrow never getting closer to 100% but needing to throw him out there because our season is on the verge of being lost in the first quarter of the season. 


Edit: Good news is I sat him in Fantasy Football. 6TDs incoming tonight.
