-With Zac we're always going to start the season in a hole from being unprepared to start the season, normally 0-2.
-We're not going to be a physically tough team.
-We're going to struggle in the AFCN as long as our opponent doesn't have a trash tier backup player playing.
-We're never going to be a good rushing team and it's always going to be neglected for more passes (Joe Burrow leads the league in pass attempts, we're 30th in rushing attempts).
-We'll never have accountability, because Zac won't fire coaches who are doing terrible jobs.
It's ZT's offense & ZT is calling the plays. Bengals offense is EXCELLENT, generally speaking. I can't just ignore ZT's work on that side of the ball because I'm frustrated at other things.
I agree with a lot of your points, but also feel that ZT can fix those things if he focusses on being 100% head coach and splits his time between the 3 phases and studying clock/situational strategies.
The rest of the "we'll nevers" or "we're not going tos" is just a feeling because you're sad. Be a man. I'm not going to have such defeatist, doom & gloom emotions OVER OTHER MEN'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS & FAILURES. ZT is a smart guy. I believe he will get things right. The handling of contracts on the defensive side of the ball left the cupboard bare & Lou/Pollack are not developing anything quickly or even on a level of avg. Changes have to be made, but I don't think the HC whom the locker room HE CREATED still loves & believes in is the issue.
