The offense had no chance

This is on Zac, and if Pitcher was onboard with it he wont have to worry about taking the next step to HC any time soon.  

This has to be fixed.

The Bengals had 3 pistol plays (runs) and 4 under center plays (3 PA, 1 sneak) against the Patriots in Week 1

19 plays with motion or a shift, 25 plays without

Inexcusable. This is what we were talking about all Offseason. We needed to see that Offense that played against the 49ers last season 
that was unstoppable in their place against one of the toughest Defense's in football. I just don't understand, Burrow is healthy and the 
reason we were in the Shotgun 100% of the time early last season was supposed be because of the calf.

What is the excuse now again in making sure we get off to another slow start?

Weird coaching by Zac. He likes us to lose early or something so we fight back later in the season and make a run at the entire thing.

Problem for me and most people is they HATE TO EVER LOSE. Especially fans that invest a ton of time and money into the team.

The slow starts need to stop, though.

My theory is (and they will never admit this) is that the underestimated the Pats, played vanilla on offense, and saved a lot of wrinkles and schemes for the Chiefs. That is my hope, anyway. 

Sure hope you are right Weezy.
