We have a very talented young QB. Say what you want about how good his arm is, but we surrounded him with weapons that can help push the ball down the field. Throw some screens to Mixon, make a couple of deep attempts each quarter to Chase and/or Higgins. Try to open things up. Waiting until late in the game is problematic. The defense was sitting on the short game.
If we are going to win this year, we are going to do it on the backs of Higgins, Boyd and Chase. Like I said in the other thread, I think last week scared Taylor when he saw Burrow limping off the field and is afraid to call the long ball.
