Flattery will get you everywhere so let me help you with this:

Change "lack of halftime adjustments" to "getting the team off to a good start". 

During Zac's tenure and especially this year we've been much better in the 2nd half than the first half, The 1st quarter has consistently been our worst quarter of the 4.

Simms said that the Bengals aren't doing anything to counter what defenses are doing. They're just breaking huddle, lining up and running a play without any movement or window dressing, or trying to design plays to beat the defenses that are being run against them. 

Zero thought or innovation. Pretty much everything that everyone else is saying. 

The Bengals didn't use alot of motion or play action last season either. They are probably running a higher percentage of play-action so far this year than last. Difference has been how teams are playing the Bengals.

To be fair... in marketing/advertising they preach the law of 3 to have the customer remember the pitch.

The last couple games they've started changing things. Simms has a valid point in that there are so many things the Bengals could do differently but they seem slow, or not willing, to change too much. 

On one hand i can see that reasoning. When you implement a system and you practice those plays over and over, you don't want to just scrap it and try something completely different. 

Sometimes i wonder how much they simply believe that what they do/are doing will eventually pan out but after a few games of seeing the same thing, i've seen so many teams make adjustments to counter what the opponent is doing to take away what you do best. 

I've never been a big proponent of Zac as an in-game manager/play caller. I would think that anyone that's supposed to be as smart as he's supposed to be would be quicker on the trigger to do something to beat what is being run against you. 

It just feels like they have a lot of money in the bank but they keep shopping at the convenience store instead of the supermarket.

Zac definitely seems a little stubborn to me. How many times are we going to hear “the dam is going to break” wrt sticking with the run when it’s not working?

It's pretty easy to see why Mike Brown would like him so much...

[NotBigzo]

Nope. And it’s gonna have to cost us games and have enough people speak up in the locker room before any changes are made

[Soonerpeace]

Third time today this has been posted. He’s right the OL issues and Burrow have really stifled this offense

[Soonerpeace]

Hell let’s get Chris Sims all of them at the top

My biggest issue is the run designs. The Bengals are trying to run away from the natural holes in the leverage of the defense forcing the OL to manufacture space. That has been one of the major problems on the offense.

Herbstreit had what I thought was insightful. The first 4 games were the preseason. Denver, Vegas, Colts look bad on offense too.

Game tonight has set offensive play back 40 years. 

[*rfaulk34*]

Matt Ryan has been under pressure 42% of his drop backs this game.

Looks like Zac is calling the offense for both teams out there..amiright?
