If we are 3 wide with a TE lined up as a FB, we are running. If we are double TE with receiver bunched in, we are running. Everything is given away in our formation alone. There is zero misdirection, counters, screens. Mixon constantly being met at the line of scrimmage or one yard from the LOS, but again its obvious when we are running. There is just about zero routes for double moves. Watching Chicago’s DBs they were just literally sitting on the underneath routes. The one deep route that was completely uncovered was a Uzomah wheel route, and yet Burrow threw it into the back of a defender covering a short route.

If your franchise QB is calling you out then you better start changing up your playcalling otherwise you will be gone. Also if Burrow had not audibled on 4th down last week the best we would have walked away with is a tie. Clock would have been running down to 20-30 seconds at midfield with no timeouts. Thank God for at least Burrow being aggressive.

Yeah. I watched the game and the broadcaster called out at least 4 or 5 of our plays before the snap (and was correct). If a broadcaster can do it that easily, imagine an NFL defense. Terrible coaching by Zac. I'd be very frustrated if I were Burrow and co. Such a waste of all this talent. A decent coach would have this offense humming (and would have addressed the oline last year). And as Zac has said the past few years, the offensive line is great. Marv said when he left that the next coach's success will be determined by if they fix the offensive line or not. He was right.
