Every player has to execute perfect, in order to make the play work. We never stretch the field any more, nothing over the middle, all short dink and dunk passes. No wonder we can’t run the ball. Looks like peewee football out there, no imagination.

Plays are vanilla because Burrow is a limited QB. If he was able to / or comfortable with playing from under center, play action, throw between the numbers, make plays down the seam etc consistently, they'd be able to expand the playbook.

He can't. It's time to face the fact we have an extremely limited QB. Now what he can do he does well. But teams that know how to stop what he can do, he has nothing else. And he knows it "they took away the deep ball" "they played cover 2" (and that was that, he's never had any reply or ability to adapt. He is even pretty cut and dry about it). 

It's a tough pill to swallow, but it's time we all speak freely on it.
