Why can't we have nice things? I don't
0:03
think you have to be a Bengals fan to be
0:06
annoyed and bothered that Joe Burrow
0:08
keeps getting injured. All we want to do
0:12
is see Joe Burrow for 17 games. Is that
0:14
so much to ask? Again, Burrow goes down
0:20
Again, it's a lower body injury. It's an
0:23
ankle. And again, the Bengals are left
0:26
scratching their heads going, "Gosh, I
0:28
hope this isn't too bad. I hope it's not
0:32
You know, I think some of this is dumb
0:38
some of this is on the Bengals offensive
0:40
line, and some of this is on Joe Burrow
0:43
himself because sometimes Joe tries to
0:45
be a hero in the play in which he gets
0:48
his ankle tangled up. I just think about
0:51
how many times I watch Tom Brady chuck a
0:54
ball into the turf five inches from his
0:58
feet just to stop the play and make sure
1:00
he didn't get into any type of of
1:02
traffic. And sure that happened more as
1:06
he got older and Joe's not older. Sure,
1:09
it happened after multiple rings and
1:11
maybe you feel like, you know what, I've
1:13
got patience now because I've won so
1:15
much and I can live to see another day.
1:17
Maybe it's a lot harder when you're
1:19
still chasing that elusive first
1:20
championship, but Joe needs to get
1:23
himself out of harm's way. And I flash
1:26
back to the preseason, that game against
1:28
Washington, where he's dialing back,
1:30
running back 15 yards and getting
1:32
tackled on his shoulder by two
1:34
commanders defensive players going, "Why
1:36
can't Joe just learn chuck in the dirt
1:38
and then you don't have to worry? I know
1:41
he's a gamer and I love him for it. He's
1:44
a tough sob. We all love him for it, but
1:47
I just wish Joe would just chuck it,
1:50
spike it, kick it into the dirt
1:52
continuously. So, he was never in any
1:55
type of traffic in front of him. Cuz it
1:58
feels like every time he's in traffic in
1:59
front of him, every time he gets
2:01
tackled, every time he gets sacked,
2:02
you're like, "No. Oh, please no." And it
2:06
happened again. Happened again. Happened
2:09
again. Why can't we have nice things
2:12
like Joe Burrow healthy for an entire
2:15
season? Is that too much to ask?
