We lost a game we should have won. We will be in 3rd place likely going into next week (remember both the Stealers and Rats while also 1-1 got their win in conference while we did not).
The issue with the backs and TEs not blocking their assignments is a must fix and must fix immediately even if it means benching Mixon.
Also the game plan today was baffling to say the least. A blitzing offense and they went 5 wide constantly (and got burned a lot doing it). Also after saying there were going to operate more under center they went shotgun a LOT. And also they waited WAY too long to do the obvious - mass protect and throw deep. When they did it it worked.
And yes Burrow looked terrible today. The game was decided on his idiotic pick six, he missed a wide open Higgins on an easier play (plus Higgins dropped a TD). In fact all three INTs were mental errors on Burrow. This is not what we were supposed to get with a 1OA pick - by now even with the injury last season he should be essentially mistake free.
