Alex Smith had a compound fracture that required 17 surgeries. They thought they might have to amputate. Not even remotely a comparable injury.
The balance of the game after Burrow went out put paid to the big lie that this offensive line was improving and might just be serviceable with a little work. The truth is that any improvement has been because Joe Burrow is a football Mentat and he gets rid of the ball in two seconds. Even that wasn't enough today.
Sadly, Zac Taylor will get a free pass this season. Shucks, just bad luck.
Even if he were a good coach Taylor is just a completely unsuited to this division. This is the AFC North. If you can't protect your QB by pass blocking you'd better be able to protect him by running it thirty times a game.
At least the Steelers didn't get the pleasure of being the team to destroy our Quarterback of the future.
