Taylor talked to the team and told them this was our new identity. Aggressive and analytical when the game is on the line.keep the Defense guessing.... If we pass every 3rd down they will always know its a pass.
Fast forward to Green Bay...I know it was 2 games ago but the Bills game made me think about this and also the talking heads after the Packers game. 3 plays specifically I will mention.
3rd and 5 at the 42...Rush Perine for 3 yards to attempt a 57 YD FG.
3rd and 2 at the 33 or even the 4th and 1 at the 32...rush Mixon for 1 yard and attempt a 49 YD FG
Kickers are missing left and right. Something was weird with the wind that day.
Why not put the ball in Burrow's hands and let him make a play with all the options we have? Any of the 3 plays above could have won the game. He is our best player.
What happened to that aggressive play style? I know Evan should have made the 49 but there were like 6 kicks missed that day.
