I mean, that seems a bit dubious. Hue Jackson may have had that 8-8 in Oakland, but there isn't any getting worse than 1-31. I'm not going to sit here and rant in favor of Zac Taylor. He just hasn't proven he can get it done to this point. Still, I think that any problems he exacerbates started somewhere higher up the chain and somewhere earlier in the timeline than he was here to cause.

Burrow currently leads the NFL in pass attempts, completions, and completions for first downs (114). He's 3rd in passing yards. This is despite leading the league in times sacked (tied with Wentz who has been horrible) and sack yardage (28; 203). I have a feeling his advanced grades from PFF will be quite positive this week.

Also the most obvious difference between this team and anything we saw in the '90s apart from maybe half the 1997 season with Boomer. This team has a good quarterback that is only getting better every week. As long as that remains true there is cause for optimism. I really hope those linemen hurt today aren't gone a while.

Two total sacks over the last three games.

Naw, we'll lose a surprisingly defensive game by one score and they'll keep Lou.

195 for 293 / 66.6% completions / 2,023 yards / 6.9 yards per attempt / 12 TDs (3 rushing) / 5 INTs On pace for [arguably] the greatest statistical rookie season of all time. It'd be nice to reward him for his performance with some, yanno, victories.

Baker Mayfield threw one incomplete pass after the 1st quarter. It was the spike to stop the clock.

I'm not usually the "fire everyone" type. I tend to view that as stupid fan hysteria with no grounding in reality or sense. So, with that in mind: Fire everyone.

I can't think of a single defensive player that genuinely played a good football game. Not one.

How many 4th quarter comebacks has Burrow been robbed of already?

Incredible defensive ineptitude.

Or that.

If it goes OT you better hope you win the toss.

Not pleased we made no move to touch him down inbounds until way too late.

Oh my God. I absolutely hate the playcall but it worked so fuck it. Come on defense.
