They looked right against the Bucs. Lots of quick passing taking the easy stuff. We come out this week and forgot everything we learned and right back to hold the ball and take 15 to 20 yard shots and horrible looking screen passes.
We can. Guys open all night. When Josh throws short we move the ball at will. When Josh holds the ball nothing but bad things happen. We had it working, Josh seemed to figure it out finally and then Kincaid fumbled.
If nothing else our defense looks like it could play these guys. Offense is not ready. It wasn't ready against the Jaguars, Pats, Giants, or again tonight against the Bengals.
For the love of god ....................... just keep moving the ball and taking the short stuff. It's not working ........... just take what they are giving you.
If you hit Kincaid short enough (see Kelcey) they'll change up coverage but right now they are sitting on Davis and Diggs and everything past 8 to 10 yards. Just keep taking the short stuff.
It's been there all night. Last couple of drives Josh throws short we move the ball then he takes two shots and we come away with nothing or we do something that never works like a screen or a jet sweep
There again ......... KIncaid and Shakiir have been open all night.
They're there. Josh just does not want to throw it there. He'll do it a couple times and then he starts patting the ball and looking downfield and bad things happen. 2 plays later we're punting.
He has about 2 seconds and he needs to either throw it or run. He's not looking short enough, they're covered past 10 yards, and Josh is patting the ball and taking sacks and throwing into coverage.
Double LB spy .................... why because Josh isn't throwing it and they can cover Josh instead of leaving them in zone because Josh isn't looking for the short passes. He'll hit a couple and then right back to throwing it down the field where everyone is covered.
Throw 6 yard passes until they start playing defense differently. Right now they are keeping everything in front of them and rushing Josh and we are feeding right into it by trying to throw 15 yards down field and holding the ball too long.
It was 17 to 10 at one point in the 3rd qtr last year in the playoffs. The offense needs to get their crap together. You can't give Burrow the ball for 30 minutes and expect them to not score a bunch of points.
We were doing great until we stopped doing what moved us all the way down the field. Short quck passes all the way down the field then a run, a screen, and a deep shot and a field goal instead of a TD.
Every play should be a 7 or 8 yard pass. Mix in a run or a shot here or there. Josh thinks every play should be a 20 yard pass and if no one is open run around and make something happen. Meantime the Bengals pass rush is in our backfield in 3 seconds or less and they are playing everything past 7 or 8 yards.
Again the Bengals are covering everything deep. It's not Davis. Josh needs to get it out to Shakir or Kincaid or Cooks and take the 5 or 6 yard gain. He can't keep holding the ball and looking 15 yards down the field and take sacks.
If he's running it's because he just refuses to throw the damn ball. Everytime he targets Kincaid or Shakiir we move right down the field. Then he starts holding the ball and looking down field and the rush gets there and he starts throwing picks. He needs to just take what they're giving us and put some drives together. He can make take some deep shots when we've scored some points and they have to try to stop the short stuff.
