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

Ya know, this game kinda felt like that playoff game years ago against the Colts where Sanu was the only real receiver they had.
Bengals couldn't get anything goin on offense that game.

Similar to that game too, the Bengals RBs only ran 17 times in that Colts playoff game.
Bengals RBs only ran 12 times this past Sunday.

Being pass heavy with poor receivers and the defense playing Cover 2 is always gonna be a recipe for disaster.
