The offense was amazing but that doesn't mean there aren't still areas of concern that we need to improve. Two of the worst guards in the NFL according to PFF apparently. The people who covering them are doing they're homework between watching every game and going thru the tape of every game alot more work than game commentators.
One point to make on the offense is that I've noticed in the past when a teams offense is terrible they're defense might show better statistically because teams don't need to score against them. The same can be said about an offense with a bad defense. Not saying that are defense being terrible made our offense appear good but it does help if even marginally statistically. But my original point was when the offense had to score with a chance to win late in games in tight matchups I believe we failed more than we succeeded.
Well the defense failed against NE. They ran the ball easily and killed clock at the end of the game. But 10 points is 10 points. Against Washington they were the cause not the offense. They took a 38-26 lead mid 4th . KC drove and kicked a FG. Our 25 points 3rd most scored all year on them. Ravens Money Mac missed the game winning FG. In our discussions you often make comments but not often examples. Your quote “ But my original point was when the offense had to score with a chance to win late in games in tight matchups I believe we failed more than we succeeded. ” Which times? I do agree about the guards
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
