Also, I don't believe in superstition or curses or jinxes.  Someone broug ht it up in another thread about a week ago, saying that Donald was a dirty player and that he was worried that he might try to hurt Joe. I'm sure many others have been worrying about the same thing, including yourself.  How old are you, btw? And how big an ol' boy, are ya?  lol

Or what if it is like the '05 playoff game and both Burrow and Chase go down on the same play?

And what if they are BOTH  career ending injuries?

I know every Bengal fan has locked himself in his room every night and cut himself while thinking about this for hours on end.

Delete superstition and ban irrational thinking is more like it.

I'm not superstitious, but I'm not going to dwell on the scenario, either.  The amount of things that would have to swing perfectly to get a win after that are staggering.  And even more than this game, I'd be worried about his future.  A future that's looking very bright right now.  So again, I'm not going to give it any thought in these days leading up.

Almost nobody is thinking of that ... until you spoke it's possibility into existence. If it ends up being a Housh-like prediction, you should do something anatomically impossible to yourself.

I've tried to stay positive and stay confident , and I am confident.  I think we should win this game because, I think all things considered, we are the better team. But one thing scares me and scares me bad.   And it scares you as well. Like me, you push it to the back of your mind and try not let it dominate your thinking .

If this one thing happens, we have no chance. Dream over. Done.  If Joe goes down and misses any significant playing time in this game, we can forget it.  Brandon Allen vs  Donald and Miller... no thank you.   We all know this and it goes without saying that Donald and his Rams do as well.  They know they can 100% win a Superbowl by taking out Burrow.  Now, are there players on that DL that are sociopathic enough to have no qualms about doing something like that? Some have said that Donald is a dirty player. I don't watch the Rams so I couldn't tell you. I just know the stakes in a game like this are very high and there are some bad people in sports just like in other aspects of life who want to win by "whatever means necessary."

The Rams are gonna be around Burrow all game. They know that one shot that takes Burrow out of the game, even for a half,  will deliver them a Superbowl ring.  Am I worrying for no reason? I mean, if Joe goes out , our hopes go with him.  A QB is always susceptible to frightening hits but on this big of a stage, it is worrisome to me that maybe someone has a premeditated plan to remove the biggest obstacle in their way to the ultimate prize.

I believe that Joe will find a way to lead his troops to victory. It seems like the guy almost wills things to happen.  BUT , he has to be on the field for four quarters for this victory to happen. I believe that if JOEY B  plays every snap for the Bengals , they win this Superbowl.   The Rams probably know it as well.
