Two minute drive at the end of the half was flawed. He mismanaged the timeouts and I think we could've had more time to try and get a touchdown rather than 3.
Towards the end of the game we have a 7 yd 1st down run and we throw two deeper low percentage throws and punt.
Call a timeout after Hurst picks up 2 yards on the last drive. I get it we want to be aggressive. But with time expiring from our own 20 yd line your playing for overtime or forcing kc's hand to use they're timeouts.
I'm not saying he shouldn't be involved but we need to bring an OC from the outside. This defense is most likely gonna be worse next year with potential players leaving and we will be limited with the cap. The offense is gonna need to start carrying this team.
I want to blame officials and perhaps they had a factor but at the end of the day we had a chance with just a little more offense. I wasn't gonna feel bad with a hard fought lose and for the most part I don't. But I didn't want to look back at a loss that we could point to a few bone headed decisions and I'm not so sure we got that.

I remember with 50ish seconds remaining we called a timeout while we were in bounds around our 40. I thought that was a bad idea, kC still had time outs make them try to use them, we were about to get into FG range. That time management was interesting.
I think almost every NFL team has "boneheaded decisions" that helped result in their loss, unless it's a eagles/49ers drubbing. We almost lost to the Ravens because Harbaugh is a better coach. Stefanski makes some similar confusing decisions to Zac when I've watched the Browns play.

Additionally, a well experienced coached team…the difference is obvious when you watch both our last offensive snap and the Chiefs.
On our last snap, nobody chips and helps our backup RT against their best pass rusher. Hendrickson being our best rusher got chipped by their RB to slow him down.
Little details and the difference between well experienced coaches vs inexperienced coaching made all the difference in these games.
I am struggling to understand these complaints. Like most of you seem to know football and our team in particular, thus you know tat Burrow can change the play at anytime and he can throw to whomever he wants to... we have no idea that these long passes were the initial play call or that those deep receivers were primary on those plays.
It is beyond silly to suggest that Zach absolutely called the play and demanded who Joe should throw the ball to, it is very amateurish. If you want to complain about plays in which Burrow goes deep to the one WR that ran the deep route, and you have zero idea what was sent in from the sideline, then you should add Burrow to your complaint as well, not just Zac. Because that is how our offense works.
