Another Taylor?

So, while being 11th in passing yards is by no means terrible, it's put into much greater persperctive when you consider that we threw the ball more than any other team.

You'd be hard pressed to find any team ever that leads in the league in pass attempts, or rush attempts, and isn't in the top half of the league in yardage for their respective leading category.

Ya that’s true, but I can’t blame them for throwing so much when our yards per rush attempt was rank 29 at that time, and that includes the JAX game.

It’s damned if you do damned if you don’t for Taylor at that time. He either:
A) ran the ball to try and save Burrow, but that meant for sure no wins
B) try to save his job by doing what worked, throw a lot. and put Burrow at risk

Add some balance to this offense and I’d assume the effectiveness of the passing goes up, so maybe we end up ranking higher in passing yards because of an efficiency factor.

At the end of the day, I was OK with how the passing game looked. It’s not KC or BUF, but it was good.
