It has been brought up numerous times that Zac called a pass play on the first down in OT, JB checked out of it, because HE wanted to run.

OK, let's pretend that never happened so we can continue to hate on Zac. "Well why the hell didn't Zac call a pass on the next 2 plays? "

IDK maybe his QB had already indicated he's more comfortable running in that situation because he's already checked out of a pass.

So why not call plays resigned to run if the QB is more comfortable with running and if the QB sees something to want him to check out of a pass, HE can do it.

We're in Bizarro world this team just scored 38 points against one of the best Defenses in the NFL and the board is littered with armchair QBs questioning the play calling. 

Same as you making 3 total downs out of him checking to a run on a single play. How can you not understand one play does not equal 3 plays. The QB who threw for almost 400 yards and has Chase one on one is more comfortable running the ball? He is Joe Burrow, but let us even say that is correct. If he decides the plays, the playcallers can just keep their hands in their pockets and he can do what he wants. Or, ike the old mic'd up moment of Parcells telling Phil Simms, "let me call the damn plays." Or you pull the O on third down and make the try if you thought you had enough. It was done the way it was and they walked away with yet another big L. Call it Monday Morning QB if you like, but the story plays over and over again. 

People putting on the cape for a coach is the weird thing going on.
