The game would have turned out completely different.
I'm not sure I'd call it playing hero ball. I'm not disagreeing with you in he/them being more patient, though. Burrow had possibly the best WR group in the NFL last year and look to be ranked the top group this season. He didn't play in the preseason which even playing 2-3 series would have been extremely beneficial so, naturally, he went with what was very comfortable to him.
They have to run the ball well on 1st down and then find ways to get quick hitters to the WR's.
