Last night the Philly Special was stupid, but anyone bitching in this thread who says they would not have bitched if we'd ran 3 straight plays and got stuffed settled for the FG and still lost would not be bitching about play calling today is just lying...

We tried to start the game with a few wrinkles, they didn't work and we went away from them. Nobody knows how losing Higgins after he suited up hurt us. Yet we still took the AFC North favorite down to the wire at their house.

I miss the Zac that played "Not to lose" but many hated that and it seems we've gone away from it.

The dude got us our 1st playoff win since Boomer Esiason, made it to a Super Bowl and was 1 second away from winning it; anyone who says he hasn't doesn't deserve this job is just mad and irrational.

That is true to a point. When a play works, the coach is a genius. When it fails, they suck.

But, at the macro level...should a team with Burrow at QB...Chase, Boyd, and Higgins at WR...Mixon at RB...be struggling to score 20 points game after game?


At the micro level, there's games where it was obvious the defense was dominating our running game, and we'd run it 2-3 times from the 5 and get stuffed. Last night, we were running well for the game at a clip of over 5 ypg (closer to 6)...and we didn't run 1 single time. <--- That kind of stuff deserves to be second guessed.
