Really not a fan of how mysterious this injury is. Gonna be a long day.

Yea really normally they have some kind of update on players and they gave nothing. Either they really don’t know or just waiting to say. Guess by tomorrow 

[TJJackson]

best guess: add a second qb to the ps and elevate one of them each week til elevations run out or Burrow returns, whichever comes first 

[Stripes]

Not sure how that’s “several weeks”. Sounds bad to me.

[Stripes]

Everything I can find seems to suggest the magnitude of the tear determines the timeline, with a total tear probably ending his season (and ours).

A minor tear could be a couple weeks.

Totally in the dark.

I’m really struggling to figure this team out anymore. People saying before the season this is the best o-line Burrow as played with. Technically on paper maybe it is, and on any other team i feel they could succeed with this o-line. 
 

I question anymore of it’s this coaching staff, or there gameplan, or could it be that Burrow makes the o-line bad with his play when he does not get the ball out quick. Maybe it’s a combination anymore of all 3.

Not sure what will happen anymore this season as this injury is pretty deflating a few weeks maybe more, could pretty much mean this season is done. Truthfully really starting to feel Zac has held this team, and Burrow back so bad with his piss poor play calling. This team needs a run game something they never have, because he never sticks with it. All offseason I hear about how great Chase Brown will be and how much work he has put in, then freaking show it! I don’t know without Burrow guess will see what kind of coaches they have

Given Burrow’s history, I am sure that it’s some rare version of the injury that can only be healed with athelas applied by the true king of Gondor and Arnor, because he never has normal injuries.

Pop an edible and relax. We’ll see how it goes but 3/4 of the next games are nfc north games, and if we gotta lose some games those are the ones to lose.  If I’m Zac I’m focusing on beating Denver in two weeks and hoping Joe is back for Pitt.

[volcom69]

Maybe look for a running game somewhere. All offseason we hear about Chase Brown, well let’s start using him. Would love to see this 

[volcom69]

Well sounding like it worse then they thought out for probably 3 months, and once again here we are. What a joke 

[Stripes]

He's probably done.

So begins my scramble to find something else to care about this fall.

[volcom69]

Yup I agree this once again has become a joke. They do the least minimum thing to help protect him, and once again it shows.

HOGWASH!  I just think he’s turning out to be the ‘Don Gullet’ of football.

[volcom69]

Well truthfully I actually thought this o-line was going to be good. Still have no clue if it’s coaching, scheming, Burrow not getting the ball out fast enough and always trying to do something. I don’t know, but this is a common thing year after year. Between this and never running the ball is getting pretty annoying.

[gregcook69]

What was the reason they called the TD on Tinsley catch since both feet weren’t in bounds?

[HoosierCat]

Shin counts as two feet

Thanks HC.  I had to assume something like that.
