All year, the defense was average-ish--which is all they needed to be--then came up with key turnovers in the post season. They were able to get key stops throughout, but they also gave up leads in several games. The offense picked up the defense at times but also let them down at times.
Offense and defense have several areas that are important to sustaining or stopping drives. There are a lot of good points in this thread touching on that, so no need for me to repeat them.
As the OP the intent of this thread was get into areas that need improvement. Fred has some valid points but his curmudgeon self about this staff gets him off the rails. We all know the OL needs to come through resulting in better short yardage and redzone efficiency. We do need to separate better and not rely on Shooter McPherson. To me if we are really going to get better it’s about developing depth because it’s unlikely we are as lucky with injuries.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
