No. Did Marvin get blamed when Palmer threw pick sixes? No. Yet somehow, here in 2022, it's somehow the HCs fault when a guy throws a pick six and has five turnovers. You can't make this shit up.
I will say it seems like Zac and McVay made the wrong call about the preseason. Both offenses were flat. I could put some of yesterday on that aspect of things. But no sane person without an agenda is looking anywhere besides -5 in the turnover battle. It's been over twenty years since a team won a game with that stat.
Putting blame on Taylor doesn't mean people aren't also putting blame on Burrow (I'm sure some people aren't but they're the minority)
They both performed awfully and both were a big part of the loss.
The only thing that didn't cost us a loss was the defense. Which has been the trend for 5 games now and concerning. The defense continues to play great but like Fred said, we had very poor pass rush against an Oline as bad as ours.
