If we are able to roll through these games without Chase, imagine how scary this team could be if he's able to make it back for the postseason.
There's no question the team is better with him in it, but this may force us to diversify what we do on offence. Find other things that work with regularity, which we could hopefully come to rely on when it comes to postseason play. My hope is that Chase will only be out for a few weeks, and that in that time the Bengals find other things that they can hurt opponents with.
Bit of a fight or flight scenario. Either we hold our own and come out stronger for it, or we prove Chase is just very necessary for this team's success. I definitely think Joe Burrow is great enough to be fine without Chase, and we have a seriously good group in TB/Tee/Hurst. That's a better unit than a lot of teams have even with their #1 guy.
