Yes, if it was regular season it would be different.
Also heard Chase has been not practicing as much because he wanted to let the young guys get as much chemistry with
Burrow as possible. Like you say, Burrow and Chase already have about as good of chemistry as any QB/WR duo in the NFL.

You ever think we just make excuses for our favorites? I guarantee if a WR on a team we didn't like was refusing to practice w/ 2-years left on his contract. The same folks wouldn't have the same opinion. Matter of fact, terms like Spoiled brat may get thrown out. I'd like to think my fanhood doesn't get in the way of my rationality, but who knows. Fan is short for fanatic for a reason.
As I understand it, the departure of Boyd means Chase will be playing mostly in the slot this year with Burton taking Ja'Marr's old spot. I'd personally like to see that group get some practice together, but probably not required because Ja'Marr is in great shape.
No one said "I'm glad" lol
Seriously think you are overreacting here Bfine and it shows when you falsely quote people.
