Then would it have really be worth it and for what? To say we ended the season 7-10 vs 5-12? This season will be this season, a forgettable one outside of remembering the Burrow injury. Next season is what will matter come April.

Think of 2019 and how 1 more win would have changed everything. Dolphins game did tell a story (that the new young coaching staff could manage a clock after scoring 22 points in what… 30 seconds. Something like that. Luckily we saw what we needed in a loss. That’s what we need from here on out this season.

To the topic of the thread. I say they’ll win 1 max. This offense revolves round Burrow. 7 weeks wont be enough time to change that identity.

Every game we win without Joe Burrow gives 52 other players that THEY can play at a championship level. 

I want Zac to know he can win games without JB

I want Joe Mixon to know he can win a game

I want JaMar Chase to know he can make an inexperienced QB better

I want Trey Hendrickson, Sam Hubbard, CTB, and the rest of the D to know THEY can lead a team to the playoffs.

We're NOT some srub them that has to hang their hopes on getting an elite prospect in the draft and despite the protests to the contrary; JB has had his fair share of injuries.
