Yesterday should have been a lot of power runs going left especially. Keep pounding it. But as usual Zac has zero interest in adapting to the facts on the ground. He kept going to the pass even though Burrow clearly wasn’t himself. Sad to say even Marvin would have seen the conditions and adapted his strategy.

When our only moderate success was running the ball, why is it that we couldn't keep doing that? The Browns didn't seem to have a problem with this concept (206 yds rushing) as Watson didn't have a great day either. Had they kept Burrow in the game, he may have challenged the Dalton 2.0 game. I put this loss on Zac Taylor for being unable to change his gameplan.
FFS, let the OL punch back some with a ground game, especially when they're getting their ass kicked play after play. I kept yelling, "Run the damn ball!" Of course they couldn't hear me and they never did anyway.

Maybe even start the run by beating them in Pittsburgh and crushing their dreams of a new era, like they did to us. The jerks. You saw the new Exorcist movie commercial also?

I understand we are a passing team and the offense runs through Burrow, but the coaches have to see that he doesn't have it, or the rain is an issue or both. The defense was playing well but eventually got gassed because we could not get any extended drives. We should have tired slowing the game down and ran the ball as much as possible. I agree with this. Maybe they didn't roll him out due to the calf, but they definitely should've ran more, even it was just to keep the clock moving. "Better send those refunds..."

Well September only has two more games, so yea October. I do expect we'll see the Bengals perform better against the Ravens as long as they don't have the same kind of weather. However, I don't think they'll be where we expected them to be going into the season. This could be another year starting 0-2. They went 3-3 in the division but just 4 losses overall last season. That didn't derail the season last year, but it could very well impact whether they win the division vs wildcard, or home field advantage in the playoffs. Looking at the schedule right now, I think they could go 4-2 into the bye week, possibly 5-1 if they get their issues worked out in time for BAL this Sunday. I think probably 4-5 losses after the bye. Sitting anywhere from 12-5 and 10-7 when all is said and done.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

1530 is confirming everything those of us who are upset were feeling if you are listening.

Some things I missed.
Hendrickson got into it with DL coach Mixon got into it with Pollack and Zac Sideline was full of blowups you haven't seen under Zac/Burrow Brad struggled with Punts pregame, there is legitimate concern there. Chase postgame was poorly received by many. Quote:"Success doesn’t mean every single move they make is good" ~ Anonymous

That game turned out to be costly for the Browns. Conklin apparently tore his ACL & MCL. Done for the year. I know the rookie from OSU looks good, but that’s a big loss.
