If the Bengals miss the playoffs, Fire Zac?

He said in the presser that he blew it. He was seeing a bunch of people saying it was incomplete and that he thought the review would be whether it was incomplete or not....he couldn't really see the play. So he was telling Joe to get to the line quickly instead of telling him to slow down and let them look at it. Took full responsibility for it, as he should. If you recall, even during the broadcast, they were wondering if it was a completion because he didn't survive the ground with the ball. A lot of folks on here forgot that nugget. Either way, he totally botched that whole sequence.
