Like others have stated, all I can figure about the defensive strategy going into the game was that they were concerned that weather/field conditions were going to favor the offense, and trying to have your corners back-pedalling and flipping their hips trying to cover Chase and Higgins with man wasn't going to work. I heard somewhere it was Hairston's first time playing in the snow. But Burrow and those receivers (and Gesicki) were just too good. I'm not defending, but rather speculating. FWIW, I don't think he's alone in that regard amongst NFL coaches.

Yep, I’d prefer a more experienced DC for sure, but we are where we are.

Head coaches get the blame at the end of the day. Edit: I don’t disagree with the staff on that side needing an upgrade.

I think because McD has head coaching duties, including offense and ST that occupy his brain fully until halftime, which is when the staff can actually have a conversation about adjustments. Just too hard to do effectively on the fly.

I’m thinking the former. Internet sarcasm stinks once again!

Did you happen to notice the slippery white stuff on the field? Sheesh….

Was it the missile he threw up the middle to Diggs?

Same… 👍

No Quarter? No problem! “Close the door, put out the light”

And they finally dropped a few passes.

OK. I hope you’re not assuming I have rose-colored glasses on. After almost 60 years of fandom, I know better.

Good enough today

Have you conveniently forgotten that Burrow didn’t play until a couple weeks ago?

Same here. The line I hear is that the team is ahead of schedule with their franchise QB, organizational alignment, a very good coach, and a ton of cap space. Their future is bright.

Got me thinking about that Key and Peele skit... Some classics!
