Zac has to give up playcalling

It is beyond silly to suggest that Zach absolutely called the play and demanded who Joe should throw the ball to, it is very amateurish.  If you want to complain about plays in which Burrow goes deep to the one WR that ran the deep route, and you have zero idea what was sent in from the sideline, then you should add Burrow to your complaint as well, not just Zac.  Because that is how our offense works.  

You can add me to the list of people you don’t understand, then. I’m not calling for his head, or for a change at OC necessarily, or even having Joe give up his autonomy, except, except in THIS situation, 3rd and 3, 4th QTR, Zac has to run a running play or high percentage pass that eats clock AND nets a 1st down, and furthermore as the HC he has to assert himself and say “You WILL run this play”. Take a shot on 2nd and short, sure. 2x in a row was a BIG mistake.

GEEZ some of you get sooo defensive. Even great coaches make mistakes. I hope he learns from it. I was upset with him during the game so this isn’t 20 20 hindsight. Hopefully, in this case, the team’s hindsight is 20 20.
