Idk… I think they’ll be fine with their backup.   He played great.

He played well 2 years ago when Burrow missed a lot of games late in the season. They should have made the playoffs, but Burrow had a slow start and they were already a few games down

For today... now opponents will begin to scheme for him.  Jake Browning is a large dropoff from Burrow

They schemed for him when he had a long stretch of starts a couple years ago and he played very well

Jake Browning has a winning record as a starter in Cincinnati. 

 

I think Burrow is really good, but he has the best weapons in the league. Browning will be okay for a bit 

Burrow without Higgins and (especially) Chase is just Sam Darnold with better hair. 

 

Look at the year Sam had stats wise last year when he had Jefferson and Addison to throw too. Same situation in Cincinnati. Put Burrow with Allen's weapons they win maybe 6 games IMO

3 interceptions in 3 quarters ia great? Low bar I see. Josh threw 6 INTs in 20 Games last year

[BillsPride12]

I have Burrow as my fantasy QB so fully expect this injury to linger on all season

Torn ligaments and only out weeks? Can someone explain this?

Pretty sure it’s just partial toe ligament tears…could end up being months I’d imagine but I’m not a doctor of course haha I don’t think he’ll be 100% the rest of the year

the Sam Darnold take is asinine.

 

Burrow has a crappy OL. The OL in Buffalo is pretty good, even still, Josh gives us a ceiling that Burrow can’t. But that’s because Josh is a one man offense that basically no other QB in the NFL can replicate.

Burrow again showing his inability to stay on the field and that last year seems to be an anomaly.

Burrow hurt ago....gee what a shocker.

I'm willing to bet Josh would grit it out and play through it.

It's really not though. It goes to show how much better a QB can look with 2 legit WRs and an offensive minded coach. I personally think any talk of Burrow being elite is asinine, but thankfully we can all have differing opinions.

Three things are guaranteed - death, taxes, and Burrow missing games every year.

Zac Taylor is not a good coach. Kevin O'Connell is. 

[Coach Tuesday]

Browning is legit.

He may really be the nicest most down to earth guy around, but agree he has this look sewn on his face that gives you the impression of what you said.

Agreed.  I really like browning. Yeah; he has the best WR duo, but he also knows how to get them the ball, which a lot of backups couldn’t do.

Yes that makes no sense especially if there needs to be surgery

Ok here is some basic guidelines 

 

Grade 1 (Mild): A slight stretch or microscopic tear. 

Healing Time: 1-3 weeks. 

Grade 2 (Moderate): Partial tearing of the ligament. 

Healing Time: 3-6 weeks. 

Grade 3 (Severe): A complete tear of the ligament, often requiring surgery. 

Healing Time: Several months to 6 months or longer.

 

When they say torn its 3 to 6 weeks minimum to potentially season ending. I really hope this kids catches a break. Not a Cincy fan at all but Geez its always something with him

Wow.  Guy is not catching breaks in his career.   Play looked like no big deal.

Honestly this stinks for us as it makes the Ravens path to the division easier. 

 

Couldn’t care less about who wins that division between those two teams.  The point is to get the one seed.
