They are 0-2 so sitting him = season over. If he re-injures it and has to miss multiple games it won’t matter because you get the same result (wait ‘til next year)
Only reason to sit him would be if this could cause a more serious injury. If not then play him for as long as you can.

Either way I’m not feeling like this is their year regardless of what happens tonight.

If you have a movie start out the way we've started out, no way are people buying that same team wins the Super Bowl. Just relax, Joe's gonna continue to play, he'll probably have a setback (the mid-way point of the movie, naturally) and things will look even more dire (direr?), but then just like Bobby Boucher in the Bourbon bowl, Burrow will just dominate at the end culminating in him hoisting up the Lombardi.

WHO FRICKIN' DEY!

If he continues tweaking his calf every other week...does it set back the actual time it takes for him to get to 100%?

I know that may be a dumb question, but I don't know the answer to it and I feel like it's a pretty important question. If the calf takes the same amount of time to get to 100% tweaking or no tweaking, then I'd say continue to play him.

(09-25-2023, 12:23 PM)KillerGoose Wrote: [ -> ]As far as I know, the recommendation for calf strains is RICE - Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate. Without extended rest, it is possible it may not get back to 100%. One of the bigger concerns is that a calf injury can maybe lead to a worse injury, such as a torn Achilles. I was discussing this with my physical therapist last week. The Bengals training staff is going to know all of this. If Burrow continues playing, this injury could linger all season. How big of a deal that is, we aren't sure. If he plays tonight, we will have a little more information to answer that question with.

And regardless of how mid Volson is, MJ was worse.

From the article you posted:

Offense with quick Slants, Screen passes and alike where Burrow just gets the ball out fast out of the pocket without having to run
himself. Mixon and the run game haven't been the problem this season which is wild why we haven't ran the ball more than we have.

Of course Burrow is going to want to play no matter what. I would be more concerned if he was happy to just rest up honestly.

He missed about 3 possible TD passes and like you said several open Slants across the middle.

He will find his nitch here soon, hopefully it is tonight where we desperately need to get a win and get our Offense turned around.

Even with Burrow's injury we could be 2-0 if he played like his normal self passing the ball out of the pocket.

We started to see it in the 2nd half vs the Rats. We will see, it will be really telling tonight if he is on or not.

(09-25-2023, 04:21 PM)Wyche Wrote: [ -> ]Absolutely. Even with the int in the second half against Baltimore, it looked like it finally clicked for Joe. It's gotta be rough getting up to game speed after weeks of being pretty much idle. This offense is built around and for Joey B, if he's struggling, it's going to struggle. Still should've ran more before it got to the point we had to throw. That's definitely on on the staff.
