Zac called two plays in the huddle, a run and a pass. If Burrow gets up there and doesn’t like the front, he switches to the pass.

That is a scenario and play call that Zac implemented. Zac enabled that situation and they have practiced that scenario before. Zac made a great call and Burrow made a great read. They both did their jobs well.

I agree that there is some 'blind hatred' of Zac. However, I feel like I am a pretty level headed fan. When I see him making poor decisions, I'll call him out (4th down decision from own 30). When I see him making good calls, I'll say he did a great job. To me, I thought he looked a bit like a rookie coach on Sunday (mainly because of the bonehead call that gave the other team life/momentum)--this call just smells of inexperience. I also didn't like some of the play calling on 3rd/4th down (not specifically talking about the game winning play in OT).

I'm not sure if this is true or not on having the two plays for the 4th and inches in OT. It looked like an audible to me. If he did have the two plays to work with, I still give Burrow the credit for picking the right play and making a great throw under pressure. 

If Zac rebounds next game, I'll definitely give him credit for calling a great game. If he get's in the team's way, I'll call him out as well.
