That’s a money statement right there!

Something IS “off” and it’s the offense, specifically play calling. For some reason the Bengals don’t look like they came to play unless it’s third — or too often fourth — down and they HAVE to convert. First and second down plays look like total time wasters to me. I wonder if Zac knows the rules allow for consecutive first down plays or that it’s perfectly legal to convert on second down.

What I don’t see with the 2021 Bengals is a sense of urgency unless, of course, they are behind late in the fourth quarter and have to score. If the offense played with that sort of energy the entire game the Bengals would blow games wide open in the first half.

You’re right: The talent is there. It’s being poorly coached.
