What you DON'T want to see: Game Plan

Of course, if the WR's are open, Burrow can certainly sling it. Mixon had a big game against them in LV on a shit sand field which had no traction. He ought to be able to have a bigger day at PBS. I do not trust Prince to keep Burrow upright.

It is a fair point, but I look at Burrow as the best player on the team and I want him making the decisions early.  It is his 2nd time facing them and we all know how that usually goes for the opponent. 

When I said to NOT come out and run first and risk and early loss of possession (punt), I want Burrow to get his feel and get in to the game right away.  The Raiders will be dangerous if the Bengals let them hang around.  I think Burrow can handle Crosby one on one (make him miss) and check it down behind him. 

I am worried about Prince as well, but we don't give up our strength for one guy.
