Meanwhile over in Bengal land, there is weeping and gnashing of teeth

Exactly. But people here think that Zac Taylor is an “offensive genius” who “outcoached” McDermott. People here in Cincinnati want him fired. Unless you’re a chiefs fan there is a substantial portion of your fellow fans who want the coach fired.

 

 

the Bengals host the Rams and then go to Tennessee. They don’t get their “get right” game until they go to Arizona after that. They have a real chance to be 0-4.

If he did reaggravate that calf injury, it doesn't make sense to put him at further risk. With the money they invested in him, sitting him may be the only obvious choice

If his calf is injured, it makes sense to let it heal

LOL I would bet money that in 2021, when the Chiefs were 3-3 after 6 games, you would have found some "fire Reid" clamoring in Chiefs Kingdom.

 

Rams could be a get-right game.  Kind of depends upon which Matthew Stafford shows up.

Imagine a calf injury affecting your ability to pass the football Vs a throwing elbow hyper extension which to some is just an excuse. 

 

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here.  Are you implying a calf injury does not affect a QB's throwing ability? 

 

It's my understanding that throwing a football at a professional level starts with the feet and legs and sequences through the hips, torso, shoulder, and arm

 

Isn't that what Josh has talked about with changing his throwing motion, that when it was mapped he learned that he wasn't sequencing correctly so that his throwing motion was all upper body, and that to achieve accuracy he had to learn to change his motion so he harvested power from his feet?  Hasn't Burrow talked about improving his throwing velocity by how he used his feet, planting more firmly and pushing off with more force?

 

Edit:  here

Anyway, if a UCL is an excuse, surely a calf injury is an excuse, but I think they both can significantly impact throwing.

If Zac Taylor was the coach here Bills fans would have shown up at his house with pitchforks or spray painted a ***** on his front lawn. 

 

He is a sub .500 career coach who has been very lucky to, at the same time, have a good qb on a rookie contract and still pick top 5 in the draft during that time period. 

 

One team I will never have any respect for.  

 

Note:  The starred out word isn't what you think it is.  Very scientific term.

They need to be so careful with Burrow.  Too many times calf injuries turn into Achilles injuries (Durant, Rodgers come to mind quick).  With him having soreness again this quick into season, I would sit him for multiple weeks.

It's because he is obviously injured.....and the OP was concerned about worsening the injury....after week 1.....guess what happened yesterday?

He’s hurt…

Bengals goal is winning the SB.  I don't know how serious it is, or if it's pain management...but unless Joe says I can't go,  they aren't sitting him.  The Bengals can't risk going 0-3.

You mean one other year? 

Four of Zac Taylor's five seasons as coach of the Bengals have started 0-2

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Bengals had 2 difficult games. Bills had a much easier bounce back opponent.

[ddaryl]

If we were Bengals fans we would be just a upset. (See last week vs Jets postgame)

[Roundybout]

Eh, sounds a lot like this place lol

 

They always start slow anyways.

I take joy in just about every fanbase's misery, because it's just football and it is probably the most harmless thing to practice a little schadenfreude in.

Ok well in the spirit and context of the discussion, and in that case are they really ok?

 

2-14 2019 (did start 0-2)

4-11 2020 (did start 0-2)

10-7 2021 (did not start 0-2)

12-4 2022 (did start 0-2)

0-2 2023

Good to see every fanbase responds to its Quarterback playing poorly by asking for the coach to be fired.
