Team spent too much time drafting and preparing to oust the Chiefs in title games and lost focus on the AFCN. All the while the North has been drafting and focused on defeating them.
Zac’s going to have to run it in the North. There is no path back to dominance relying on a pass heavy assault that Balt, Pitt, and Cleveland has spent the last two years building secondaries to stop.
They’ve got to fix the run game, play calling, consistency, whatever it is. And they’ve got to fix this Defense.
They’ve got to go back to basics and build to compete in the North.
This doesnt really make sense. The exact same roster minus a couple of safeties won the AFCN the last 2 years. Any team that can beat the Chiefs and the Bills should also be able to beat the AFCN teams.
The Steelers were destroyed by the Texans, not even close to an AFCN team. The Jaguars are not an AFCN type team either. Are the Cardinals an AFCN team?
The Colts beat the Ravens and the Steelers, and the Browns if not for 2 horrendous calls at the end of the game.
The Browns are in salary cap hell (-14M), Watson is not a good QB, the Steelers have no QB, the Ravens are a very solid team but with many key free agents after this season.
We are not very good without Burrow, some wrongly believed Jake was special, he is not. A healthy Joe makes a huge difference, if we can shore up RT and NT we should be fine next season and battling the Ravens for the top spot again.
