I suppose or you could sit him out and say we are playing for a Wild Card and we want him at his best.  But in my opinion, unless he tweaks it in practice, he is playing. 

Since 2002, 99 teams have started 0-3. Only one of those teams made the playoffs.

Why does everyone thinks if Burrow plays on one leg the Bengals will win?  They have lost two weeks in a row with what was suppose to be a healthy Burrow.

Somebody needs to look at the big picture here.

Based on how he played on one leg the second half of game 2, and because this week's opponent looks beatable.

With that being said, the Bengals should be 2 and 0 at this point.

I see this game as almost a playoff level must win game. Lose this game and the odds are no playoffs for the Bengals. Would Burrow start if this were the playoffs?

That said, if Burrow's calf is too risky to start, I start Browning and try to steal a win. If it gets to Q4 and the Bengals are behind, I  am bringing in Burrow. The Bengals must win this game. Season over if they lose.

Season over if they lose, like the days of past.  We should be use to that.

I think the Bengals can lose this game and still "Wildcard" but I am not optimistic if they lose.

I never think about the past. It's over. New era, new regime and new players. The past has nothing to do with anything on this current team. Even if they lose, I will still have hope for this team.

With the added game to the schedule and extra wildcard team now, there is a little more wiggle room if you start 0-3 than there was before.

How long has that been in place? How many 0-3 teams have made the playoffs since it has been in place?
