Zac wants to blame...

Reading between the lines, defenses are throwing different stuff at us than they expect and they can't adjust.

One difference is, when you make the SB teams gun for you. Last year...I doubt many teams viewed us as a threat and prepared for us as hard.

All true, but he specifically said he should've challenged the Chase TD, "that's on me to be honest with you" were his exact words. He also said they should've let the clock run down on the punt and owned that mistake. If we're gonna pick nits, I haven't seen our QB take the blame for five turnovers, maybe I missed it.

Like I said, there are a lot of warranted criticisms of him and the offensive staff as a whole, this ain't one of em.

If you ask me, coach Zac should be taking some personal responsibility for the ineptitude of the offense, rather than reaching for other places to lay the blame.

100%. He's got Mike Ditka and Barry Switzer written all over him.

Because they know people like you will click on them. Do you get how media works? You aren't clicking on an article that says "Zac Taylor takes responsibility in loss". 

Those articles exist...you just didn't click on them so you think they aren't out there.

He has taken blame after pretty much every loss, if you listen to his post game/follow up interviews. Just because you clicked on the article about a specific question and how he answered doesn't mean he said we lost because of a punt. Get serious.

I've read Zac take the blame a lot over the years like you said. I don't think that's an issue.

I was making a Jesus Christ Superstar reference with the prior post I made, hence the pun.

He's sure deserved to blame himself, lol. I like the guy. I like the team he's built, the type of players they target. I think he needs to stick with that and let someone else call plays. I'm also not gonna pretend he's infallible.

Hey zac says

“It’s an earned confidence and our guys know that we’ll get back on the right track.”
