Zac Taylor, Brian Callahan, and Turner tried way to hard... FFS let Joe Micon earn his contract.

The Browns Thursday are going to be a tougher team than the chargers.

The two minute drill to close the half, which not only did we manage to not move the ball at all, somehow allowed them to get a field goal.  The lack of urgency or agressivenss is very reminiscent of the approach under Marvin.

The use of timeouts is simply unforgiveable.  They actually used the last one on a 3rd and 2, when they already were in FG range, to call a deep pass down the sideline.  They wasted another when they were in their goal line defense.  You can't be out of timeouts with over 8 minutes to go in a close game.

He had no answers for Burrow getting killed early in the game.  You'd think he might lean on the running backs and the tight ends in the pass game for dumps and quick throws.  But you'd think wrong.  The tight ends were non-existent until late in the game.  You'd think they'd lean on Mixon more early on.  You'd also think wrong.  Despite having a healthy average he only saw 9 carries in the first half.

0 points in the last quarter, even with Burrow finding his groove. 0 passing TD's.  Despite Burrow getting hit a ton his calls a running play out of timeout for him.  Their most successful approach on offense was Burrow creating plays on the ground.  This is not how you want to use your #1 pick.  The dude took at least 10 hits today.

All in all, just an awful, awful job by him on the offensive job.  Captain Lou actually did ok, especially with the LB corp he's working with and with Atkins being out.

I don't know if Callahan calling plays would be better, because he has no experience either.  But he can't be worse.

Zac Taylor is completely over his head.  He has no business taking on dual-roles.

Let’s overreact a little more tho.

It's just his 1st start so I'm not concerned at all but I won't sugar coat it. He looked just like Andy out there today. Missing wide open wr in end zone for tds. Throw away screen pass getting intercepted. Just boneheaded crap that haunts this team for some reason.

Xsf getting hurt forced our staff to play a better player. I never want to see anybody injured but this staff needs to give Fred the rt job and leave price at rg. Fred can't possibly be worse than hart.

The good news is the last drive by burrow he looked comfortable and finally started showing some glimpses. Hopefully we can get it together by Thursday.
