I see both sides of the dilemma, honestly. Then, I look at LA taking the same approach, and they SMOKED SEA. Of course, Stafford had a great game, and our quarterback didn't. I'm honestly looking more at what Killer Goose pointed out earlier....Joe Burrow seems to start slow. Is it the bad luck he's had going into the season? I'm sure that's a large part of it.
