The last drive of the half Cappa, who has been, by far, our worst Olineman this season gave up a huge sack. Then we had an incompletion leaving a 3rd & 17, the draw was the correct call.
On the final drive Zac did a call a pass and Burrow checked out of it. But with oline getting beat a lot this game, risking a sack would have been horrendous. Runing the ball there was fine. The snap was bad and the hold was awful.
Zac wears me out at times, but we need this offense to keep humming and you need a head coach to do that, we lose OCs nonstop if not.
I agree with these points. The Bengals were in position to win in OT. Only a sack or a holding call would have pushed them out of almost automatic FG range, and you know that was what the Ravens were going for. And at the end of the 4th quarter, after the sack and subsequent 3rd and 17, the run play was absolutely the correct call. An incompletion and the Ravens and Tucker would have made them pay at the end of the 4th quarter.
You have to expect the FG unit to do their jobs at the end of the game. They failed spectacularly.
The Bengals now need to have a miracle run -- a first-of-its-kind run to the playoffs. If they make it, it will be that much sweeter. But, for now, this is a very painful loss. Just not on Zac and Burrow's offense.
