Zac Taylor needs to go

Either call plays, and/or switch to formations that can help pick up the blitz, or call plays that can exploit the pressure (slip screen, quick out, hitch etc.)

There looked to be no answer.  None.

For people that said Joe held on to the ball to long, you can't throw the ball away 20 times in a game.  Guys were routinely getting to him under 2 seconds.  How many guys went completely unblocked?

And another thing... We ran the ball great last week, yet there seemed to be attempt to get it going this week.  It looked like a lot of other games under this turd.  We have absolutely no identity, and the playcalling seems almost random and without purpose for long stretches.

Absolutely pathetic job today by Taylor.  This dude sucks.

Well, Gannon also seemed to think he held the ball too long quite a few times. Mixon missed a crucial blitz pickup that Gio picked up a quarter later, TE, LT doubled a man and let a rusher run free, it's bad execution on a lot of it. Now, that may be on the coaching, could be young players effing up, could be both. Lamar Jackson ran for almost 350 yds on us last year in two games. He had 3 yds today. Defense dropped 3 INTs, but otherwise played a pretty good game. Even if you don't have communication issues against this front, you're gonna have your hands full. They're top 5 in the league against the run. We tried to run, but at 2.5 YPC, you can't just keep pounding into the awaiting arms of tacklers. The lack of a pass game today is really what killed them offensively...we had our own INTs. The Bengals are a better team than they were last year, but they're still very bad up front on offense. I mean, I guess we could go max protect every play, but then you have no weapons on the field. Burrow is learning on the job, this was his first bad game. Soon enough, he'll figure out his reads, get into better audibles.... remember when he didn't audible out of a play that ran right into the blitz? Those are things that will improve with experience.
