I think the issue is largely scheme. Going Cover 2 basically blows our offense up.
In our SB year, how many big plays came from Chase or Higgins making a crazy good catch or run after catch? That's not a scheme, it's relying on individual talent to overcome lack of scheme.
I saw some next generation stats and Burrow only threw 5 or 6 balls over 10 yards. Dink and dunk.
Now that Burrow is highly paid, it takes salary away from other parts of the team. So you have less veterans and more young guys to make mistakes. And our scheme doesn't help them.
Our running game with Moss wasn't terrible and beating a cover 2 is done easily with a good running game. Burrow didn't target Chase enough,
we were in the Shotgun once again entirely too much, we played vanilla and overlooked the Patriots clearly. Of course scheme is a problem if all
these things keep up. But expect this to change against the Chiefs this week, we will see.
