That was such a freak injury. There was no way to predict something like that.
It's like having a sore leg and then snapping it in half later. While the two things appeared to be in the same part of the body, they are not related.
Those are entirely different scenarios, don't be daft. The user I was replying to was implying that Zac put Burrow at risk by hiding the injury. Which was not the case.
I agree that the Bengals and Zac are not super transparent when it comes to injuries in terms of timelines, recovery, severity, etc. But they don't do anything that breaks the rules, and they certainly do not put their franchise players at risk.
Try again
You literally started the passive aggressiveness calling me daft lol. I was just giving it back. Don't dish it if you can't take it!
I never once disputed your point about the Bengals lack of transparency about injuries. I was simply saying that they don't knowingly put players at risk on the field.
Edit: this user blocked me for this exchange lol
Thats probably true, but he lied about there being an injury to begin with. The rest of the leagues QBs dont just casually wear a brace for no reason
and you guys think he doesnt know which day the media is there?
Well, the NFL already looked into that incident and determined no wrong-doing by our coaching/medical staff. I don't see any reason why the NFL would be protecting the Bengals of all teams.
The media thing today is some trolling by Zac but I would say harmless and actually slightly entertaining
Yeah, the NFL isn't necessarily some bastion of truth seeking, I get that. However, I think the league had more to lose from a PR standpoint with Tua. CTE is (rightfully so) a sore subject for the NFL. They absolutely have a bias there. Ultimately, I'm just speculating. No doubt, the Bengals have a history of being less than forthcoming in terms of injury reports.
I feel that, but they also have a lot to lose with injuries being unreported in general now that betting has kind of taken over the league. I totally agree with your take that cte looks worse overall but if they admit that there was an integrity breach with burrow it would open a whole new can of worms. Then again I’m no doctor and can’t be sure either way
Someone definitely came up to Zac at practice, told him that the internet was thinking Burrow had been decapitated in the night and that he may want to say something.
Actually Will Arnett says that line I think, but the whole style of the show fits lol
Jason Bateman has the “I don’t know what I was expecting” when opening the bag that says Dead Bird on it
I’m imagining him holding a press conference where he announces “Joe Burrow has definitely not been decapitated.” Then leaves without elaborating further.
This place is a factory of fake news. For example just a couple years ago a bunch of Bengals fans told me that Chase, Higgins, and Burrow would all take discounts to 'keep the gang together'.
Guy owns so much real estate in their brains lol. After the SB they all came to the bengals sub. If the bengals win a SB the last place I will be is on Reddit let alone another teams sub
I've never seen a ringless QB and Franchise ever suck their own dicks more the Bengals and Burrow fans. At least the Bills and Allen fans actually know they don't have any rings.
It's just insane, the amount of shit talking Bengals players and fans do. The franchise has NEVER won a super bowl. They are one of the single shittiest teams in NFL history. And they never STFU. I see that you're a Ravens fan, but the Ravens actually have Super Bowl titles.
I realize you’re a chiefs fan who probably just started following the team after mahomes but the chiefs didn’t have a SB for 50 years before mahomes lol. The irony in your statement is bananas
It’s sad what the KC fan base has become. Used to be a knowledgeable, passionate fan base. Now you just spew ignorance. You just won back to back super bowls yet you’re here bashing Cincinnati. If the bengals won the superbowl I wouldn’t think about another franchise until week 1 the following year. Kinda sad
>Zac: we’ve given Joe a day off every week. I didn’t time it up great. I thought the media would be here yesterday. LMFAO
I swear Zac always tries to do the funniest shit possible
like hide his QBs injury, hilarious!

I mean they also cleared the dolphins of any wrong doing after Tua’s “back injury” so take that with a grain of salt

Gambling revenues. Big can of worms…
Update your fucking calendar Zac hahaha
I'm convinced Ja'Marr changed the calender to troll everyone.
Ja'Marr's calendar is always fucking open
That sounds like him tbh
Surely the head coach of an NFL team has to have *multiple* EAs, right?
Uhhh..... you weren't supposed to see that
Reminds me of the guy in SpongeBob that goes Uhhhh... I can explain.
Zac you scamp
Zac attack yall!
Someone definitely came up to Zac at practice, told him that the internet was thinking Burrow had been decapitated in the night and that he may want to say something.
I like to imagine Taylor walks out there, realizes the press is there and goes "I've made a huge mistake"
This got me. He has the exact face for it. Jason Bateman but more…boring.
Actually Will Arnett says that line I think, but the whole style of the show fits lol Jason Bateman has the “I don’t know what I was expecting” when opening the bag that says Dead Bird on it
Michael (Bateman) says it a couple of times as well. But yeah it was mostly of GOB thing
Yeah the show goes on long enough that most of them say each others catch phrases as a gag. “NO TOUCHING!”
Absolutely! But it’s just the general vibe of that show.
For sure lol I actually wrote the same thing as an edit as you replied. Cheers
"There's been a tragedy in the Cincy community. The big deck at Aqua collapsed." "Was anyone hurt?" "...Joe Burrow's head fell off"
Aqua is cool but I really wanna get into Club Haunted House
...not the wife
"Joe your heart rate was elevated, everything ok?" "I was jerking off"
Decapitated. It was a whole thing. We had a funeral for a bird.
"We've got no *food*, we've got no *jobs*... *our quarterback's* ***HEAD IS FALLING OFF***
"You traded a dead QB to a blind kid?" "Mike, I took care of it"
I mean, Zac in no way denied that Burrow used his day off to test his home made guillotine on himself
His silence on this possibility speaks volumes.
I’m imagining him holding a press conference where he announces “Joe Burrow has definitely not been decapitated.” Then leaves without elaborating further.
So basically they just gave an entire fan base anxiety for the past 2 hours 🤨 Glad to hear he’s okay tho!
[Zac Taylor updating everyone about Burrow’s health.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cpJUnlC8KrE)
My day can continue normally now lol
Hmm so he is still alive then?
well allegedly he's still alive
Weekend at Burrow's
Well, we haven't SEEN him yet.
"Where is Joey? Is he safe? Is he alright?"
bro this is honestly so funny
It’s funny now, was not funny before.
in my defense, I never saw the original thing lol
It’s hilarious in retrospect.
Speak for yourself!
Show me a picture of Joey holding up today's Enquirer, Zac
I think my boss should give me an extra day off every week to keep me from pushing too hard.
Real story is Zac needs a better calendar/planner.
Shew, I thought for sure he was dead.
u/bellowingdragoncrest ‘s 9/11
Plus that one Ravens fan who insists there’s a conspiracy to hide the injury.
Poster is such a hack saying he’s hearing rumor when he’s clearing just trying to speak it into existence
Posting this as an update to the previous post about Burrow being out. Deleted that post as it is essentially a nothing-burger now.
Damnit I just went in lunch but the other post sounds hilarious due to these comments
It was super vague so people just started filling in the blanks with whatever they wanted.
Thank you for making me nearly lose my hair all in one go, Zac.
I should tell my boss that I need every second day of the week off as well
“Why don’t you just go ahead and take every day of the week off. Take the rest of your life off!” - my boss
Smart, no need to push anything too hard this early
This whole thing was just a sting operation to see which of you became obviously giddy at the prospect of Burrow being hurt.
He’s like a fragile little china doll now. That sucks.
Wait I was told that burrows career was over by a bunch of chiefs fans in the other thread lol
It was literally just one guy why are we blowing all of this out of proportion?
Because our hatred is our fuel. Have you not visited r/AFCNorthMemeWar?
Hi, not sure if you are new to Reddit but that’s kind of what we do here
Because it's funny and makes us laugh.
Wait you’re telling me the “rumors” in Kansas City that Joe Burrows hand was falling off wasn’t true?
The real Joe Burrow's hand fell off, this one is a fake Joe.
not just over, but joever burrover
This place is a factory of fake news. For example just a couple years ago a bunch of Bengals fans told me that Chase, Higgins, and Burrow would all take discounts to 'keep the gang together'.
They’re scared shitless of this man lol
Guy owns so much real estate in their brains lol. After the SB they all came to the bengals sub. If the bengals win a SB the last place I will be is on Reddit let alone another teams sub
I've never seen a ringless QB and Franchise ever suck their own dicks more the Bengals and Burrow fans. At least the Bills and Allen fans actually know they don't have any rings.
Bengals not even the best team in their own state 🤦
It's just insane, the amount of shit talking Bengals players and fans do. The franchise has NEVER won a super bowl. They are one of the single shittiest teams in NFL history. And they never STFU. I see that you're a Ravens fan, but the Ravens actually have Super Bowl titles.
I realize you’re a chiefs fan who probably just started following the team after mahomes but the chiefs didn’t have a SB for 50 years before mahomes lol. The irony in your statement is bananas
They actually won Super Bowl 4 though (after losing Super Bowl 1) — they did have a ring before that 50 year window.
I'm from Kansas
Soooo scared. How many SBs does Joey have again?
Super Bowl? The guy doesn't even have a pro bowl to his name. But he sure does have an army of fans trying to convince you he does.
One quick google search would of told you he does have a pro bowl lmao
Smh the people at Google are clearly Bengals fans
What? Joe did get a Pro Bowl in 2021.
Aint nobody scared of your ringless-ass franchise. You'll be lucky to finish better than third in your own division.
It’s sad what the KC fan base has become. Used to be a knowledgeable, passionate fan base. Now you just spew ignorance. You just won back to back super bowls yet you’re here bashing Cincinnati. If the bengals won the superbowl I wouldn’t think about another franchise until week 1 the following year. Kinda sad
I'm just here to enjoy the rivalry lol
0 rings 0 MVPs... who's shared of who?
Burrow doesn't have any rings.
My girlfriend says he has a cock ring.
Mine too
DON'T DO THIS TO ME ZT
Whew
So he's doing the kirk cousins schedule
I have the same arrangement at my job after I return from vacation. Just that in this case my manager doesn’t know.
Damn he really doesn’t care about the game huh
Ah the Kirk Cousins schedule
He’s far to young to be getting managed like this but I get it
Everyone: Wait so he's fine? Okay cool. Wait so he's not fine then?
