If you think the contract had 0% mental affect on him or the team, don't know what to tell you. Yes obviously the rain played a factor also. He needs the underdog mentality again to have to prove it, it may just have been 1 game to get over it, he did just sign the contract a couple days before the game started. He's still human lol. How would you react if you signed a 260 million dollar contract? Lol. Kinda hard to feel like an underdog being the highest paid player in the league. It had at least 1% affect lol and is hopefully gone by now.

I'm happy the game ain't here. It's not only raining cats and dogs it's lion prides and wolf packs.. Good thing I have a woodshop in case I need an ark..

Harbaugh won’t let Zac get a word in edgewise.

Hendrickson and the pass rush need to be living in their backfield today. They have 2 pretty good starting O lineman out so no excuses for not harassing Lamar all day.

Last week they might have struggled to score against a top five college defense. It was bizarre.

I predict a good scripted 1st drive and then a battle until the end.

Joe is a slow starter, he was rusty as well. It is what it is.
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.

Knowing that getting to and winning the SB pays me even more, I'd be 100% focused. But it was 100% evident that he was not 100% healthy.
