Zac certainly isn't helping anything with some questionable play calling and 4th down decisions, but our current struggles are similar to the ones KC's offense experienced last year when teams sat in two high S looks to take away the big plays and forced them to steadily move the ball down the field. Zac really needs to start looking at what they did last year for answers The OL is starting to show improvement, but they are not at the point where they can execute on long drives with any consistency.
Definitely a good comparison. Last night until the 4 plays at the 1 yard line I thought they finally made nice adjustments starting in the 2nd quarter especially with Tee out. A couple screens, run game working, a couple sit down patterns,etc.They played some typical AFC North football and had that game won.
You saw very few two high S looks a year ago. Bengals surprised teams and it was mainly Cinci. dictating tempo last year. Now things changed in the playoffs and the D simply got TO's and played light out.
