Taylors best call of the Game

[Essex Johnson]

To me it was kicking the field goal with 7 minutes to go , to go up 10, it was 4th and inches at the 10 and i know tempting to go for it since he has been aggressive in previous games with hopes to go up 14 or if you get stopped Titans have 90 yards to go. Just think if they were on that last drive just down 4 instead of 7, wow..

Great decision ZT.

That 4 and short where he has Joey go from shotgun to under center making everyone on the Raiders think sneak, then pitches to Chase on the motion.

The gameplan for Maxx Crosby was great. The Bengals beat the hell out of him on those pitches they were leaving him unblocked or using WR/TEs to crack him from the side.

Agreed, when they came out I assumed Burrow was going to try and draw the Raiders offsides, but I admittedly was worried Zac wouldn't take the easy 3 points to go up by 10. Zac's mentioned analytics guys are in his ears giving a recommendation, I wonder what they suggested?

Also Burrow mindset is aggressive also.. Taylor stayed firm though and im glad he did

I will be honest.  At the time I was saying "Go for it".  But considering that we were just up by 7 it was the correct call to take the FG and make it a 2 score game.

Yup.  That was absolutely brilliant.  To me, that play was up there with the Fake Flea Flicker earlier in the year.

Was that same play ran again later on the Bengals final offensive drive.  The one that Chase got tapped in his bits?

It looked a lot like that one.

Similar toss play, but I don't recall it having Joe try to sell the quick sneak on that one.  I think he was under center from the get go.

I think kicking the field goal was the right call. I think it was a pretty good game plan overall to get the ball out quick. I thought we should've thrown with high percentage throws on the last drive to get the first. But we won and I can't complain about what got us there. I really liked the screen pass on the first drive I believe as it fooled me pretty good.

THIS was indeed the best call and fantastic play-design.

Agree on all.

Having a conversation about that last offensive drive isn't complaining.

We can critique and enjoy the win!
