Zac Taylor took over a worse roster. Joe was out all year w a knee- so career winning % isn’t doing it for me
He’s beaten kc in arrowhead a LOt. And in the playoffs . He’s beaten McD badly at home in buf. I don’t see dumb TOs or challenges w cin. He’s gone to a Super Bowl
Other thing that wasn’t mentioned. Burrow scrambled very well yesterday. Looked fast. Usually got first downs
why this is important- we are horrific w scrambling. We make baker , mac , tua, Sam Howell , Zach look like Fran tarkenton
Prob is the bills D makes the opposing qb (except tua) too comfortable.
they play OFF the line in coverage and so if the blitz. It’s the long / late DB that goes in. And it’s super easy to take advantage of that.
conversely KC and CIN play up on line man to man at times. Their corner and safeties come blitz right off the line.
His only weakness is arm strength / off platform
Cincy going to stomp bills. Just like I said last year. Burrow is elite dink and dunker. Kills zone. And if you ever switch to man - like 4-5 plays a game- he immediately recognizes it and then hits chase over the top . Makes you pay. Our pass rush is basically coverage sack guys now - they won’t get to him bc he gets the ball out quick. No one on our team can tackle consistently - Mixon will have a big day
and w their D coordinator - I don’t trust Allen and offense to play flawless game which they’ll need
Don’t bet on it. Florio had a great article.
would cost nfl too much money to make it better
too much effort
they like the clicks and press even if bad
