Zac called a good game, we over came numerous errors that put us in a hole to take the lead in OT. The Niners had only scored 3 points the entire have and were completely shut down in the 4th.

Of all the things we blame Zac for we can now add: Taking the lead in OT when your D is playing lights out..

Zac acknowledged the OT mistake of running on 1st down. He should have tried to get the instant W and not even let the defense get on the field. Making the comment, "I cannot believe there are so many losing teams in the NFL with all these coaching experts wasting away on a message board" fails to account for the perspective that you do not have to be an NFL coach or really even know much about football to recognize Burrow should have been passing in OT after completing passes to Higgins and Uzomah. Burrow should have been passing for the win. That's the whole point of the criticism, Zac has NFL coaching experience but failed to recognize it in the moment. You're right, none of us have the skills to even be in such a position; however, Zac admitted the mistake of not going for the win. Other NFL coaches wouldn't have made the same mistake in the big moment.
