I think the only thing that made me accidentally laugh was someone saying he went to the hospital with a throat contusion to avoid talking to the press about his performance.

IDK man, probably.

I still remember the first game I went to as a kid...Bengals fans cheered Kenny getting injured, writhing in pain of the field with his wife watching in the stands. He later called the fans 'stupid and classless'. I guess that has always stuck with me, and why I don't think it's funny to make jokes about injured players.

This is Joe Burrow so I'm sure they are testing him for everything. He has likely been given a CT scan to look at all the structures in the throat.  They may have even put a scope down the throat to get an even better look.  He also will likely be kept for observation for several hours in order to monitor his breathing.

It is one of those injuries that could have him back at practice tomorrow or out for some time waiting for the internal structures of the throat to heal.

Side splittingly hysterical stuff isn’t it…

It was more about the way he played than the injury... I don't think anyone was doing it with bad intent...

My first game was in Cleveland. I was spit on and another Bengals fan that they replaced with the Browns fan that spit on me (and was kicked out of the game), was replaced with a Bengals fan that had a black eye. This isn't baseball. It's up in the air how the fans are going to interact when I go to Bengals games, but I'm also used to Browns fans - lol. They're kind of terrible and that's part of the fun, the "dawg pound" isn't meant for non Browns fans.

I think it's poor taste to make fun of anyone injured, true. I mean AJ missed 53 games with a broken toe nail, so...lol.

But it's pretty hypocritical that you can't be sarcastic about something with someone you will never interact with, but you can be sarcastic (and rude) with people you are currently interacting with.

So in your words Joe should be released?

Has nothing to do with how much the player is “liked.” I’d be just as disgusted if people were joking about Drew Sample being in the hospital.

This is not Facebook. This place should be better than that.

I think there's a pretty big distinction between a guy going to a hospital after an injury, and a guy getting banged up, playing 2.5 more quarters of football, and then going to the hospital just to get checked out.

We all know it's not life threatening or anything. He literally did peak-level athleticism for 2+ hours afterwards. So it is either nothing bad, or Taylor and the Bengals are guilty of trying to literally kill Joe Burrow. I'm leaning towards the former.

Note nobody is making any jokes about Evans.

I didn't make any Burrow jokes, but I am not going to act morally indignant about them either.

I was under the impression that if you liked someone you waited to see that it wasn't a big deal BEFORE you made jokes about it, and then it was fair game.  Letting the jokes rip as soon as you see/hear someone is hurt is something I'd expect us to save for dudes like Ben Roethlisberger or [insert politician you don't like here].

You mean like waiting until 3+ hours later? We watched him play and run for literal hours afterwards.

yes, how does he function if they cant hear him call the signals in a noisy stadium no less?
Hope hes ok and he needs ot learn not to throw his body into those situations.

We actually don't know when he got the throat injury.  I saw a report that said it happened towards the end of the game.  Injured throats can absolutely be life-threatening.  There could be serious injuries to the trachea or esophagus that aren't immediately apparent.  
If he is lucky it is nothing more than a bruise but don't automatically assume that just because he walked off the field that he wasn't dealing with a potentially serious injury.
Throat injuries are ones you don't fool around with.

You guys should go join any other fanbase forum, your choice, you will laugh if you go in thinking it's all positivity. I bet even the Cardinals fan base is yelling about something lol, even though they're crushing everyone. It is naïve to think this is a Cincy only thing.

For real giggles you should watch their gameday threads when we're playing them, lol.

Do they, on average, make light of their team's injuries?

Fair enough.  But you've got to sound the "everything's OK" alarm, with caution in these parts.

He choked, and had a throat problem.

Burrow didn't choke. He threw an "ugh" int early and a "WTF??" int late, but he drove the team to the tying TD and 2pt conversion and then drove them into range twice for game winning kick attempts. 

You can complain about some of his decisions and a couple of his throws but you can't say he choked. Terrible play calling/decision making and 2 terrible FG attempts lost the game.

It will be the latest Bengals innovation. Tyler Boyd will verbally call the plays and Burrow will use hand signals and silent counts. 

One thing we can all agree on is Joe's time as a Bengal will be short. I can't see him surviving a 10+ year career here. He's just an injury away every game he plays to becoming closer to Luck.
