Zac Taylor's Play Calling In OT Was Unforgivable

If Burrow throwing the ball was so unstoppable and certain to result in a TD then why didn't he convert the EASY 3rds and 3?

And if you are saying that a smart coach would go with the hot hand then Zac was smart to let his defense win the game by not allowing the Niners to score a TD.  Our defense had kept them out of the end zone the entire second half, and the Niners last TD had been the result of a short drive after a muffed punt.

A quote from Zac on the Bengals website:

Quote:"Put the ball in his hands. Give him the second down and third down to go get the touchdown and maybe you walk off the game with a walk-off touchdown and the game is over," Taylor said.

Zac is referring to Burrow and demonstrating awareness of situational football with his reflections about the OT play calling. It is unfortunate you are struggling to do the same. During OT, the series of offensive plays leading to the FG resulted in the 49'ers getting the ball back and winning. Had Zac decided to immediately let Burrow take a shot at a TD, the result might have been a Bengals win without the 49'ers getting to control the outcome. 

This is simple to understand.

If you also had an ability to understand Zac's perspective, it wouldn't negate your own opinions. Perhaps you, and sadly I might add, need this validation? Your inability to understand situational football and interpersonal difficulties evidenced by your forum post history are both equally strange. Anyhow, this repartee of posting is going nowhere so I shall bow out and leave you to your next combative interaction with someone else.
