HavePityPlease Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 As others have said, typical Zac Taylor game - poorly designed vanilla offense attacking likely "ghosts" of what they saw on game film and the opposing D seems to know everything that's coming. Couple that with leaky blocking and you're in for an embarrassing day. Once again the only time the offense seems to look decent is either when they get out of their game plan and Joe runs it OR the other team goes into prevent/shell and you can pick spots. They have to set a tone and get the o-line into the game early with runs and just plain power plays, but honestly it doesn't matter much when Taylor is constantly baffled.

Damn shame. Yeah. and coaches need to take the training wheels off the offense. Too conservative early and teams are sitting on the routes.

But you had plenty of plays with guys just coming free from everywhere. Center needs to be making those line calls, and each man has to trust the guy next to him. Neither happened today. Let's hope they figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saphead Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Looks like we'll be tied for 1st in the division no matter what happens tonight. So there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is something we do as fans. If next game we are low on timeouts, someone will say how Taylor can't manage the clock, but today we had all our timeouts down the stretch of each half ... and that has been the case with Taylor from the beginning. It's something I notice bc Marvin was so bad at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentheprop Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Really disappointed that we couldn't at least get MaPherson a long attempt to tie it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they figure it out. A lot of this. Some of that is on Burrow too. He and his receivers have to see the blitzes and go to hot routes. Not seeing much of that. Then again, he is a QB who just played his 10th NFL game. He's got some growing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feed I watched on was terrible. Were there many deep shots before the Chase TD? Didn't seem like there were doing much at all to keep the Bears honest.

DudleyDawson Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Just an observation but if the Bengals try to go deep more often and Burrow gets sacked, the reaction is the line is weak .. have to get the ball out quick .. bad coaching. If they get it out quick and throw a couple ints, the reaction is the D was sitting on the routes should have thrown deep .. bad coaching. And if neither the deep or quick passing game is working, should have run the ball more .. bad coaching. Kind of the same thing with people who claim they know what plays are coming. you know there is only 2 options: run or pass. so if you're basing it off run or pass, it'll seem like you know most of the plays. But if you're looking at packages and formations, you see a totally different scheme/game. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When guys are confident enough to sit on routes, as both Burrow and Chase said, they know what's coming. Maybe the Bengals don't run enough variety out of each package? The offense is crap and it has to be something. Yes, the blocking isn't good enough, but it's more than that. At no point last season did this happen to Burrow. Every good offense does something to keep the defense on it's toes. What are the Bengals doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the bragging on each other the Bengals do every preseason is fine, but when someone isn't getting it done that has to be called out too. Player or coach. Not sure much of that is going on with the Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
