Except Baby Hawk and the bench WR's couldn't get separation, but the fans put the blame on Dalton. So we have Iosivas and we have Drew Sample and some other guys off the bench. 

Now if Chase plays, yes Iosivas could be an OK WR to also have out there.  Let's not pretend he is an NFL #1 WR. 

If you accept that Burrow is an elite QB than you also have to expect Elite Players to rise above injuries and win at a much higher rate.  I watched Rodgers win games at times with a WR crew like we could put out there  Sunday.  The good news though we might be thin at WR Sunday, we have the best line we have ever had for Burrow so time to stop excuses and win early in the season.
