Maybe I'm being too cynical, but that sounds like BS. I think he just doesn't wanna take the blame. Even if it were true, proper "coach speak" would be "it falls on me" or just avoid the blame game altogether. And it does fall on him, or at least Callahan. I know we all have heard head coaches say that, even if we knew it wasn't true. Total amateur move by Zac. 95% of the time you keep that stuff in house.
That being said, if that playcalling is the best that 5 people can come up with, I hate to say this, but that means it'll be a loooooooong season for the Bengals, also means an overhaul should be in order. But I don't believe him anyway. The good news is, this means he knows he screwed up.
This season isn't lost, yall. Way too much talent, just a bummer about the lost momentum. From an outside supporter's perspective, it wasn't a blowout. Even with the bad decisions, it was ONE POINT which COULD (not saying "would") have been easily negated. I'm optimistic, less so than I will be next season.
