Limping off field. Perhaps Chase was right when he said Joe Burrow should take first 5 games off? 

Yeah, Chase probably said the silent part out loud.

Call Wentz and give him half of that Collins money.  If Joe keeps struggling with this and is out for a month, maybe Wentz keeps you 2-2 after Browning slops through a win vs the Rams.

It's not Burrow......it's the inept defense.  On both sides of the ball today Cincy's line got pushed around like a bunch of middle schoolers, and the schemes were terrible.

True AFC powerhouses bounce back and get in the win column.

yeah but resting burrow these weeks may have given him a better chance the rest of the year. him limping now no way he's "better" after this game, he's worse, and we're 0-2 anyway. this season is a wash with Joey B injured.

Lou’s keep everything in front defense doesn’t work if the secondary sucks and if we never actually have leads at any point during the game. Lou was able to stay in cover 3 with Bates locking up deep. With deep now an option for teams Lou’s defense not only looks weak but looks STUPID. How many times can we let teams do the same shit?

Looks like another KC Super Bowl win and Bengals back in the dumpster. It was a fun, exciting 2 years while they lasted.

Burrow wasn’t still hurt. He reinsured the calf.

An injured Joe Burrow is better than a healthy Jake Browning.

When you have Bates and Bell at safety, you can do some pretty crazy stuff scheme wise.

Ok, so you've got a gimpy QB, and your RB has 13 carries

He does, Joe Burrow on the bench for 60 minutes gives us more chance than Jake Browning. But we shouldn't define our entire season by Weeks 1-2.

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.

This is the first time I have ever seen Lou Anarumo make incorrect adjustments.

[TKUHL]

They should have never got the first down before the final one. This D played like complete trash. Playcalling was ass, seemed a little better in the second half. I just don’t understand how we stay fairly healthy yet can’t get more out of these guys. We play a team missing crucial starters yet it didn’t faze them one bit.

What the hell happened to Cincy's pass rush?

Yes. But don't define your entire season and QB's health, by weeks 1-2. We've lost these games anyway, and maybe just pushed back Burrow's recovery by doing so.

My son is losing his mind in the next room. I remember those days of being like that. I hope he grows out of these tantrums after a loss

This is the first time you've seen Lou without Bates and Bell too.

In the runner's world we say a slow runner is better than an injured runner. But Joe Burrow can't heal if he's injured, he's not just slow he's injured. Playing an NFL game is likely not healing his injury, he looks worse than when he started the season, using a theragun near the end of the game and limping out there to shake hands.
