No Joe Burrow: Bengals WILL NOT activate Joe Burrow ahead of Sunday’s game vs Patriots
No Joe on Sunday. At least no Joe Burrow. Hi again everyone. I’m James from Locked on Bengals. And that’s the case. Joe Burrow is not going to be activated by Sunday or by Saturday at 4 p.m. but for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. Why? Well, the Bengals playing it safe, playing it cautious. Here’s my question. How much less risk is there starting him a few days from now? It sounds like he’s going to play in Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving in Baltimore. Guess what? It’s the same amount of risk. It’s no different. I think they were worried about that the quick turnaround a few days uh in between games. Fine. But Joe Burrow might be coming back to a three and eight team. That’s my concern. If you’re bringing Joe Burrow back, you want to give him a chance at making a run at 3 and seven. They could have gotten to five and seven in in a 5day span. That still could be the case. But Joe Flacco is going to be the one that leads them on Sunday against the Patriots. The Patriots have won eight straight. The Bengals are 1-7 in their last eight games.

Doing Burrow dirty by not giving him some game reps before primetime on Thanksgiving
Better chance of winning if Trey, Perine, Gesicki, Ja'Marr are playing
I'm assuming this is mostly a Burrow decision because if not this is the kind of decision mixed with awful defensive play and bad coaching that can make him want out
I don’t see the logic in playing him at all. Let’s assume bengals lose this Sunday, you literally have to win out starting with Baltimore. Then Bills then Baltimore again. The risk is so high but we shall see
Then what's the point in even bringing him back on Thanksgiving. Season would be over at 3-8. At this point just play Sean Clifford and get a better draft pick.
I guess there is someone with a brain in that organization.
Awesome!! Get your rest Joe
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 glad Bengals made this choice. Rest him up a little more . Rush him back for what ? The season is done. We aren’t winning out.
Good
Tim should have Auron on sometime to debate Joel.
Less than 1% chance of making the playoffs. Bringing him back at all this season is a mistake. Face it, the season is over. Find DRAFT PICKS!!!!!!!!!!
They did the right thing
There is no way we should be in this dire position right now!
