0-2 on third and short.

BOTH times we advertise that it will be a pass. First by lining the back up between the QB and center, the second by going empty backfield. Rediculous.

What an awful throw

Awful playcalling. 3rd and 2 and we go empty backfield so not even a threat of run. Just awful

Burrow had 2 wide open guys that drive

Missed both.

High school playcalling.

Burrow is still playing poorly. Takes too long to read the defense and not putting the ball in the right spots.

Our 3rd and short gameplan is horrible

Burrow has played himself out of an extension this offseason.....

What happened to Joe Burrow? Off target catch by Hurst was our only production

Zac needs to go.. he is incompetent..

That 2nd down incompletion. It wasn't like the OL was being driven back quickly. Burrow didn't move in the pocket at all. A single step towards the RT and he would have been clean, but he just stood there like a statue.

Great way to spend a Sunday - watching sorry Dalton out play Burrow.

I know he is just he golden boy to everyone but he has not been very good this year. His accuracy is off and he has to have that to be successful.

Both should have been 1st downs with good throws by Burrow. Or he could have ran for the 1st. Burrow playing bad to start another game which is becoming a trend. 

Hayden Hurst and his impressive grabs are the only bright spots

Exactly!! It isn't like the O line is terrific . At the very least have a RB as a blocker/decoy. 
I wasn't even a little surprised we didn't convert that.

Sadly at this point I agree. We gotta take the ball outta JB's hand

Not enough Mixon on that drive. Too much, Pass, Pass, Pass.

This is what it looks like when Tee Higgins isn't playing

Zacs not great but if the QB doesn’t miss throws they still have the ball.

So much for the idea that the franchise had REALLY turned the corner and the crap was behind us...
