It's probably his worst game plan to date.

National media smells blood in the water. Been a really rough week in the opinion pieces.

Do you think Miami has some insurance for injuries? Because I agree with you, that if the Dolphins have to pay this huge guaranteed money to Tua even if he doesn't play another snap due to health, then they will push to get him back on the field. Tua really needs to retire. What value will the remaining 100+ million dollars be to him if he is living with memory loss and confusion over where he is and what time it is and depression, etc.

I really doubt a couple series would have made much difference though it would also be nice if we don't go 4 years in a row dealing with Burrow health next yr. Into preseason, which again this yr. Might be reason he played 1 series

I would say Burrow has **** it up with all the injuries, the Bengals have opened their wallet to FA, drafted heavy at WR since Burrow 1st year, does not mean perfect but it is hard to win when your franchise QB has hard time completely seasons or being healthy coming into season

If Joe Burrow has any wrist issues tomorrow afternoon I would feel better with a healthy Jake Browning behind center.

Something tells me that we're really going to miss Brian Callahan.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Interesting stat. Guess we'll hope Joe shows the resiliency of Elway without having the multiple losses before we finally get the W.

I desperately need him to be Elway 2.0.

You mean when he finally gives in and rides the back of a strong rushing attack?

Really, Zac played him injured last year, and Mike Brown is now not paying Ja'marr or Tee. Imagine Joe Burrow without Chase or Tee. This team is going nowhere.
89 year old Mike Brown stuck in his ways, doesn't want to see a ring before he croaks.

My Mom, may she rest in peace, was a huge Broncos fan. She would always accompany me to Riverfront/PBS when they were in town. She and I watched together every Super Bowl where Elway & Co. were ran out of the building, often even before halftime, and the losses saddened her. Then finally came that glorious game against the Packers, where her years of fandom finally paid off, and he was finally able to break through and get that ring. I remember her sitting in my living room, years of frustration melting away for her and words failing her while tears streamed down her face, as he was finally handed that Lombardi.
I just want to know that feeling.

Awesome story and glad you got to experience it with her. My dad is older and I wish we could share a Bengals Super Bowl victory before his time is up.

I'm going on 58, and it's a sobering point when you reach that time in your life where you know you have more days behind you than you do in front of you. Or football seasons, for that matter. If there's any justice we all will get to celebrate a Bengals' Super Bowl win before we, as the man once wrote, 'shuffle off this mortal coil.'
