All kinds of things can and will happen. The wind is blowing 30 MPH in an open stadium, it's cold and snowing, couple WR's are missing the game due to injury, Joe's throwing thumb is tender from getting stepped on. The list is basically endless.
Look I love Joe Burrow ! He's the best thing to happen to Cincinnati in a long, LONG, time. I understand he likes shotgun and empty sets. But, and it's a BIG BUTT!! You can't put all your eggs in that basket and just be like we'll live or die with our flag planted on this hill come hell or high water.
They would be waaayyyyy better off with other tools in the tool box. Using and sticking with the run. Using under center a good bit more. As great as he is stop relying on JB to put on the Superman cape all game long every flipping game all season long.
Keep opposing D's off balance
Well said, so much can go wrong when you pass as well, no matter how good you are and Joe Burrow might be the most accurate
QB of all time. But it still doesn't matter, you need to be able to run the ball and be unpredictable. Under Center QB play is key to this
and lets the RB hit the hole faster which in turn helps out the OL so they don't have to hold their blocks near as long.

We saw him do VERY well in SF with the offense looking more like the current version than the first four weeks of this year. They were doing pretty good in Baltimore too before his wrist. I think he will embrace it, especially after getting to watch it on the sidelines. He's even told Jake he's seeing the same things Jake is.
Absolutely agree with your post though.
Very true, Joe can do it and did it very well in the 49ers game. I completely agree and think Joe will embrace this Offense much
more as hopefully he will be healthy to start out the season next year for once. The calf injury screwed everything up.
I cannot imagine how good this Offense can be with Burrow distributing the ball from under Center most of the time with a
running game and Chase and Chase. Could be epic.
