Plays are being called to hide the o-line and protect Burrow, which is limiting what can be done.

That being said, Zac went too far and called an unimaginative and uninspired game.   

Those plays did not hide the OL; they did the exact reverse. By not going deep and not using max protect and especially the empty backfield crap they allowed the Bears to pin their ears back and go at the 5 man OL which was getting no assists from backs or TEs. Add in Burrow not moving in the pocket at all and the real question is why only 4 sacks?
