This guy needs to be a captain next year

When the whole team looks bad you have to blame the coach.

"Poor tackling" can be due to defensive players not having the proper reads and being out of position to make the tackle.  "Poor coverage" can be dues to opposing offenses exploiting holes in our scheme.  "Throwing interceptions" can be due to defenses reading our tendencies and jumping routes.

If you are going to depend on players making zero mistakes and winning every single one-on-one matchup with other NFL players in order to win a game then you are not going to win many games.  We have some decent talent, but we are not going to beat teams by just overwhelming them with superior talent.

Pretty sure the coaches are not coaching players to drop catchable balls or fumble. And blaming the coaching for either of Burrow’s picks yesterday is quite a stretch. They were just straight up inaccurate throws.

But, I should have known better than to try and start a positive thread about a non-controversial player. Especially after 2 straight losses.

Resume doom and gloom!
