I viewed these last 7 games as a test of Burrow and our young players. I didn't care at all if we won any of the games. Going 6-10 and going 2-14 just aren't that different to me. What I did know is that Zac needed to win at least 4 more games to save his career, because he is currently sporting one of the worst (if not the worst, I'd have to check) winning percentages in NFL history. And he knew that Joe was his golden goose that may save his career. So he threw caution to the wind and relied on Joe's arm to save his career. I don't think we needed to be as formulaic as run-run-pass-punt implies, but pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-run-pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-run-pass is not a good formula either.
And it resulted in Joe getting injured.
I'm not going to address your final paragraph.
His plans were indeed evident. It was to literally destroy Washington. Realistically, the score could've been 21-7 or even higher. Zac called a really good game up to that crazy play that isn't the o-line's fault, isn't zac's fault, isn't even Washington's fault. I guess you could say it's football's fault, perhaps.
Do you not think every single coach relies on their players to save/keep/advance their careers? I mean, what in the world are you actually thinking? I suspect your brain is struggling to process the mega hangover as a result of the devastating injury, but cmon. Many folks on this board can't stop inventing ways to make ANYTHING Taylor's fault. He drafted a super impressive and amazing QB #1OA who was ready to start right away. If he didn't start him or even try limiting his progress, that's when I'd want to show him the door.
