The only way you don't have to adjust to what the defense is doing is if such a wide talent disparity exists that you can just do whatever, but such talent gaps don't exist at the NFL level. If you're like Ohio State in a tune up game against some MAC school, then yeah.
But all Joe is saying is that if it's a close, low scoring game where points are at a premium, he's going to be more conservative in his decisions because a turnover can be a backbreaker. If it's a high scoring game, he's gonna take more chances because there's more pressure to get points on every drive.
Was waiting till someone got to it. Spot on, the tough games in the NFL are the ones where points are at a premium and you cannot afford a
turnover. Let's not act like any Offense is so elite in the NFL that they can overcome turnovers like the Lions did in one game last season.
That was 1 out of a million games to turn the ball over that many times and somehow come out with a win. We are in the AFC North and if we
want to sweep the Division for once with Burrow this is the mentality for Burrow to have. Our Defense just needs to keep the Offenses from
scoring 38+ points like they couldn't do last year under Lou.

That isn't a great philosophy. But it does seem accurate with this team, and why we really don't see many blowouts. or I guess as many as you'd think with an "elite" offense.
Sounds like we'll forever be stressed and on edge in the 4th quarter.
It is the AFC North and the Playoffs what Burrow is obviously talking about. More often than not Joe Burrow and this Offense are going to be
taking it to any Defense that has weaknesses that our strengths can take advantage of.
