Play action would have worked. Not one play action pass called

Mixons biggest gain were a designed cutback against the d and a run out of the eye with a handoff from burrow under center. Why didn’t they keep this formation to get the rams line from bull rushing them the whole night?

Taylor game planned for a shotgun run and shoot offense that played right into the rams strength the whole night. It just shows he is not flexible and from a tactical
Level not able to come up with a good game plan

Let’s face it folks look at his record before and without burrow

They got here becuase of burrow and the d. It was inspite of  Taylor not because of him

Actually, I vividly remember 1 play action pass. The bomb TD to Tee was playaction. Also Burrow moved beautifully in the pocket on that play.

Even Zac is young, the combination of Zac and Burrow worked this year. No coach is perfect, Andy Reid makes boneheaded decisions. Everything has to fall in line, and things have to occur to cover up weaknesses (like somehow burrow dragging this line to a superbowl win). 

I think only josh allen, mahomes, and burrow could have taken the bengals to where they were this year with the team as constructed, but it seems like Joe is a lot more than just talent on the field - so it might have been just burrow to take them there. Time will tell.

Remember, the "other" Mike Brown (cavs coach) won coach of the yaer when Lebron was playing. Everyone knew that was a joke. From the outside viewpoint, I think Zac does a lot of what Burrow asks. It's the same with LeBron, the coach does what LeBron says, it's how the relationship works. Zac mentioned this during the season (late) that he's letting Burrow do what Burrow does, whatever that finally means.
