That's all there is to it, and controlling the flames acceleration wouldn't be Blaze Release since that's just shape manipulation. It is speculation because none of that was seen. The flames still on the hole actually supports that there wasn't any "flame acceleration". Also, "flame acceleration" is control and therefore blaze release. Additionally, isn't blaze release also the ability to extinguish Amaterasu?

Note: What exactly do you mean by flame acceleration? Rate of "burning" or amount of flame?
