I think some of it too is that he realizes the line is bad and if we throw deep the whole game it might expose Burrow to hits.

We played Washington and they had a top pass rush a few years ago and we tried to get aggressive and pass a lot...and Burrow got his knee shredded. Maybe that was just a freak thing and happens even if we go conservative, who knows? But, generally more hits are bad.

Because we are behind or have lost the lead.

That Washington game Burrow had 27 passing attempts in less than a half. That isn't what I'm calling for. The QB of the number 1 offense in the league never got close to attempting that many passes in a half.... The line is worth of discussion here, but I don't buy they adjust due to the poor line. Burrow still approaches 30 attempts in the first half most games. 

That's not limiting the offense due to the line issues. So I wouldn't say the offense is conservative, I think they just play whatever the defense lets them play.
