First down on this drive was just as bad! How are you not looking to Chase against single high here. It's an out against bail technique. What happened on this drive? You need better QB play. pic.twitter.com/3P5eQKTvWI

This is a routine throw for Burrow. Instead, he doesn't even read Chase. I am not sure what this is. Is this play drawn up to not include Chase in his progressions against single high? I have a hard time believing that because that leaves a 1-on-1 with Chase. Did he not see the safety rotate down? I don't get it, but Chase is open. He has to get him that ball.
This was the most concerning play of the day. 3rd down with the game on the line and you have a shot play against single high. Burrow doesn't even give it a chance. Panics and lowers his eyes at a non existent rush. OL was fine this was the perfect play call.

I am not a huge fan of the playcall here, being third down and running double double-moves, but you have a shot here to Iosivas. He has inside leverage but with the safety shaded towards Chase, Burrow has a lot of field to throw this ball to. This is a play that he normally takes a shot on, but...he just doesn't. He panics, drops his eyes and takes a checkdown. In fact, he does the same thing in the video above. He did it all day, it felt like. He looked extremely uncomfortable all game.
I don't know what it is and I don't have a strong opinion on "scheme" or anything just yet because I haven't really seen what they are doing. What I do have an opinion on is that Burrow looked very shaky yesterday. He panicked quickly, resorted to his checkdown quickly and looked to bail even when there wasn't pressure. He had good protection yesterday. The line did their job in pass pro.
Not sure if anyone noticed, but to add to the first video in your post, look at Chase's reaction when they play it through. At the 1:01 mark. He knew he was open and was mad.
I'm telling you guys, something is wrong with Burrow. He is not the same old Burrow. Maybe he is scared every play is going to be his last or every pass may separate his tendon. I don't know. I just know I don't see any fire in this team or Burrow like the "good ol' days".
