Not to necessarily call Jake Browning a sacrificial lamb, but would it be better to put him in there tonight to deal with Donald?
Maybe I just have PTSD from 2020 Commanders game with Jonathan Allen just blowing through Michael Jordan.
The offense is better with Joe throwing left handed than with Browning.
If we lose tonight, the season isn’t over, but the margin for the rest of the year is razor thin.
There are difference makers on about 10 defenses now, can’t bubble wrap here and there. Our best chance to win is with Joe, hobbled or not. Now if there is a larger chance to reinjure, then yeah sit him. But if that was the case then they already screwed the pooch by letting him play week 1 and 2.
If he is wanting to play, let him play. We have to win.
