The "Fire Zach" stuff is WEIRD

we have had in my opinion, if you disagree with that fine.

You've got to help the back up QB out somewhat.

Believe as most that 8 carries was not enough runs. Bengals ran 38% of the time with Burrow as QB  and only 27% of the time with a back up QB in his first start, against the steelers D, and Tee Higgins is not playing ?  We really want Jake throwing more often than Joe ? Does Mixon wear a C on his chest ? 

The counter argument may be correct that the run game was not producing anyway and was not going to start producing either. Yet that's speculation and a more balanced attack keeps the Defense guessing at what's coming instead of basically knowing a pass was coming nearly 3/4's of the plays and just pin their ears back against the inexperienced QB.  Plus it was not a blowout where Browning needed to throw often to try and catch up even. 

The whole thing was just odd to me, but expect it to be corrected tonight unless the Jags start blowing out quickly.
