Zac Taylor's Play Calling In OT Was Unforgivable

We have one of the best RBs in the NFL, who is only a couple weeks from winning NFL Offensive Player of the week award. We tried to expose what the D gave us and it didn't work perfectly. It did work well enough to give us the lead in OT. But you cannot rationalize with a fan base.. 

I guarantee you if we pass of 1st down and turn the ball over, the same folks calling this "inexcusable" would be calling that "inexcusable". Something like..."We were in position to get points and take the lead in OT. Our D had been shutting down Jimmy G all day, missing out on the points in that instance is unforgivable"..

Tell me I'm wrong..

So 30 yards of field isn't enough space to work a passing game in? That is absurd.

That RB had been getting nothing all day long. The passing game was there all game long. They have like backup-backup CBs in there.

Playing for a FG when you can instead play for a TD is how losers play. 

I guarantee you if Mixon carries the ball and fumbles it, the same folks... See, I can do that too. You are basing your argument on the theoretical reaction of fans after a theoretical negative result that never happened. Meanwhile in reality Burrow had a 125.6 QB Rating and had all the momentum of a huge comeback and two big passing plays and Mixon finished with 18 carries for 58 yards and had already been stuffed for no gain earlier on the drive.
