Start 0-2 if it means Burrow is 100% ready for Week 3. Instead, we've played him, he's looked awful and will probably not be ready for next week either. He's clearly not 100% or all that close. What we've done by playing him, is lose these games anyway, and probably delay the point at which we can expect Burrow to be ready.
Had they not been conference games, with one at home you'd be correct. Cincy, legitimately, could finish in last place in the North if Lou doesn't get this defense straightened out.
