The offense has struggled so far this year, Zac should have had Browning playing great that first preseason game and he looked bad.

If we did not get a flag on Burrows first drive in the preseason game, then that would have been a field goal the problem is bigger than a Burrow issue it is an offense issue. Unlike most I do not see Chase coming back turning things around I still think they will struggle.

Five observations from Day 16 of #Bengals training camp:
1. Joe Burrow wore a glove at times today. I thought he might be experimenting after the rainy practice in Chicago, but he didn’t throw with it on. He told me that he sometimes puts it on between drills on windy, dry days

Zac may not have known how good Browning could play (or not) early in the season, but I challenged anyone else to find an NFL team that started an injured QB in week 1. 

I don't trust Burrow right now in knowing how much he can take even though he's working on that and I definitely don't trust Zac based on last year.

That SB loss is going to be super disappointing when this is all over, lol, was that enough out of our team? I don't think Lou ha the defense to win a SB this year, I'm worried over there.

I doubt very seriously  that Zac Taylor would purposefully do anything to hurt his franchise quarterback. AS far as last year..players in many sports play through minor calf injuries

Some fun nuggets thru 2 preseason games for the Bengals offense:

- motion on 49% (!!) of plays (19% in '23 preseason)
- RPOs on 15% of plays (12.5% in '23 preseason)
- 82.3 (!!) team pass block grade (56.0 in '23 preseason)

While I think you are putting a little too much on one offensive preseason drive there are some positive preseason notes. Outside of Burrows health I'm not worried about the offense at all. I'm excited for the new OC as he had a decent amount of hype from inside the team. I think if Brian hadn't of left we might have been losing him. Besides i still think for better or worse Zac is heavily involved in that process. The offense has made plays in camp. The defense has won some days which we need to happen.
