I know its only one game and this will be a SLIGHT over reaction...but I think it's becoming a bit more clear how this offense operates.
It's basically a system in which Burrow wants it to all run through him. Line up in spread, diagnose, make the play. He wants it ALL to fall on him and his big brain. He wants to throw it 50 times a game and HE wants to beat you.
It's worked and it's been fine to an extent, but man...it might be time for Joe to look himself in the mirror and maybe say "yeah, this doesn't have to be THAT hard and ALL fall on me".
Running the ball is the absolute key to opening this offense up and relieving some pressure off Burrow (or whoever is at QB)...he needs to be open to that, and other ways to make it easier on himself.
I think a lot of us have gotten it twisted that ZT want the offense to be a certain way, but in the end, I think it's Joe.
Again, this isn't a criticism of Joe (because he's amazing), but just pointing out how it could be better.
