We already know how this is going to play out.  Just delaying the inevitable and wasting everybody's time.

"Our fans wanted a fresh new direction two years ago, and that is what we aimed to do in hiring a bright, energetic head coach in Zac Taylor. We remain bullish on the foundation Zac is building, and we look forward to next year giving our fans the winning results we all want. In Zac's two years, we have added many new starters and contributors through the draft, we have invested heavily in free agency, and we have acquired a talented young quarterback with a bright future.

"This season we faced challenges with injuries at key positions and missed opportunities. I am proud of our football team for fighting hard through adversity. That adversity and hard work will help us next season. We'll enter the offseason looking to shore up our weaknesses and amplify the strengths of our talented young core. We are not discouraged, but instead feel motivated and confident that next year will reap the benefits of the work that has been done to date. We must capitalize on the opportunities in front of us. Next year we will earn our stripes."

Burrow staying upright means there are no excuses anymore. The offense looked good at times when he could throw and you got to think Burrow going down, but also not wanting to disrupt continuity played a big part in this.

After what Zach has accomplished in 2 years im sure the line to work him him is about as long as his winning streak

I know lots of folks are discouraged after yesterday's dismal showing, but we were simply outclassed from a player personnel standpoint at most key positions.... you can call it outcoached if you want, but ZT didn't have many tools left in his toolbelt to use.  This years Ravens team is looking unbelievable... it'll be fun to watch them vs. KC when that happens.

I think when we see the OL get the attention it needs, we'll all feel a little better about the direction we're headed, which undoubtedly is UP UP UP

Position coaches are a little easier to find than coordinators, but I think DC will be a tough sell. OC I don't think changes as it is still really Taylor's show and when Burrow was humming it worked well later in the year. I think if there is commitment to finding better OL in FA then you could see a large improvement quickly there.

Hopefully, we'll be able to rebuild with a competent coaching staff in 2022.
