I think the schemes are a big issue

The fact that we HAVE TO have one of the best QBs in the game, and two outstanding WRs to have any success, tells you just how badly this team is built. You obviously need talent to succeed, but because of the salary cap you do need to find ways to win with 'average'. If Burrow and the WRs aren't at it, we don't beat good teams right now.

Have to find a way to shape this roster, and our gameplans, so that we do more with the run game and can do something on defence. We're seeing it with the Chiefs right now, you need to be able to win in a variety of ways (And I don't mean refs...). Mahomes is having a poor season and they're undefeated because they aren't totally reliant on him. They are good in the other facets and are one step ahead in terms of coaching/schemeing. We're not there.

And I fear we never will be "there" under Taylor.
