I see so many ppl giving excuses for why he utilized AJ Green and Eifert so poorly but not nearly enough people wanting to admit his playcalling flat out sucked for most of the season.
Yeah Green and Eifert played limited games together but the games they did play together healthy our redzone offense STILL was pure trash. Its not like we were a fire-breathing dragon on offense when Green or Eifert played and then ONLY when they were hurt we were horrible. We sucked whether they played or not outside of a few monster games from AJ Green and solid Eifert games. The inconsistency to get these guys involved was APALLING. Green had to get less than 5 fade routes thrown to him all season.
When the injury excuse is needed then im all for. But when your playcall sucks no matter who you have on the field then im putting that on the coach.
And can we please not act like this past season happened 20 years ago and forget or ignore stuff that happened. ALOT of the times we DID end up scoring or getting a FG it was because ANDY DALTON threw Zampese's plays in the garbage where they belong and went hurry up and called his own plays. A lot of the times he would march us down the field easily and whenever he did that Zamp not wanting to be outdone would not let Dalton run no huddle for the rest of the game and wed lose because we didn't get another 1st down all game. You can tell when Dalton would call his own plays because he'd attack the seams up the middle and the offense would actually not suck for a couple plays. lol Zampese kept his attack more horizontal.
Stuff like that wont change no matter who we have playing. Dude is horrible. With all the experience he has he should've done better. Hue and Gruden were good and one thing I can say about them is they never came out and said some dumb shit like "We were using Green as a decoy so we didn't throw to him at all". That's so idiotic
