did and agree it was the complete wrong game plan. Starting Adeniji against a DL like that that uses lots of stunts was just
stupid, if that is Pollack's call it was definitely the wrong one. Also to not call Screens, rollouts or RPO's was stupid as well.
I think we our Champs if we ran some rollouts in this game. Burrow also needs to learn that those empty sets hurt the team
against a Defense like that. You need a RB back there chipping and helping out in pass protection.
Lou should have a talking to on the Kupp play that gave the Rams the lead. You need to double Kupp in that situation and
make someone else beat you. Spy him with either Hilton or a Safety. Everyone knew where the ball was going, inexcusable.
It all was to be expected. The last two decades nearly all of our playoff losses were because teams came out with better game plans and executed. This was easily the most winnable game of all of our losses this season. It seems there were more than a handful of plays that if just one of them goes differently we win this game. However, most of those things were mistakes by an inexperienced coaching staff.
I had most of my kids hockey team parents over for a Super Bowl party who never really watched the Bengals play this year but we’re rooting for Burrow. Some of which are former professional hockey players/current D1 College Hockey Head Coaches…and they just could not believe some of the boneheaded things the Bengals coaches were doing. Aside from the poor officiating calls the general consensus was the Bengals coaching staff lost them the game more than the Rams won it.
This all goes back to Mike Brown’s choice to hire an inexperienced coach and the fact that they had a difficult time getting anybody to coach the defense. You’d think after years of Mike Browns selected coaches getting outcoached he would look for somebody who wouldn’t need come in and learn the ways of the NFL. But in reality all Mike wanted was a yes guy to come in and be a face while Mike ran everything behind the curtain. He absolutely deserves to come as close as you can to a Lombardi and not win it.
