It is ok for you to state what you think is correct even though the facts prove your statement to be inconsistent with the situation which has occurred.  Take Care Essex.

First it is important to understand the difference between being hurt and being injured. Being hurt means that though there is some discomfort, you are not going to make it worse with training. Being injured means that if you resume with your normal protocol, you will make the problem worse.

and Yes Jake like I said should have been in to maintain games.  Now we are 0-2 with a hurt star and we could have been 0-2 with a star who would be closer to 100% than not.

Take Care Essex.

This ultimately leads to the situation in which the Bengals, Joe and the Fans are in at this moment. Could Joe play injured/hurt yes, should he have played injured/hurt in my opinion No.  Pretty simplistic.  

Take Care Essex.

Getting slung around by Donald isn’t going to help.

The way he looked at the end of the game I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he’s out week 3/4. Cut the losses now and play for a wildcard spot when he comes back. If we are already out of it trade Tee,  and build for 2024.

This ultimately ends the conversation of what should have been done starting with week 1.
