claptonrocks Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 13 minutes ago, Inigo Montoya said: 1-4-1 is not good enough, but the vast majority of the team is still competing hard for this staff. It's not a stretch to say they could've or should've won 2 or 3 against LA, Philly, and Indy and two of the losses involved late misses by Fat Randy. The main problem is getting both offense and defense to play well at the same time. The defense has played well at times (LA, JAX, BAL), but they were shredded by CLE and gave up late leads to Philly and Indy. The offense has struggled to protect Burrow (24 sacks allowed, T-2nd most in NFL) but they've only had two poor performances against LA and BAL. Burrow has thrown for 300 or more 4 times and twice been betrayed by late game missed FG. Overall, this team isn't finishing games and they're making just enough mistakes to lose, which isn't surprising for a young team and staff. I don't buy the narrative about Taylor losing the locker room, at least not yet. Fans like you give me hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRAPradio Posted October 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Zac, Duke or MB need to do something about this defense and the offensive line. Lou A., may be the problem with the D, so maybe it's time to let him get on with his life's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing back some retread that failed elsewhere to resume failing here again would be the most Bengals of moves. At this point ZT is the coaching equivalent of a kid stomping around the house in dad's too-big shoes playing at businessman. "Over his head" doesn't begin to cover it.

saphead Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 'Over My Head' by The Fray, vocals by Coach Zach Taylor I never knew I never knew that we were gonna lose again That everyone I knew was waiting on a win To turn and run cuz' all I know is might've been But that's how it's got to be The fans are there but all they show is apathy I'd rather quit than stay and see The final score and who's still standing next to me --chorus-- Everyone knows I'm in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime It blows my mind It. Blows. My. Mind. Let's rearrange Wish I wasn't 'coach' then I could disengage My losing ways will never ever change Win just a little bit then we could get along But that's disregard Find another coach and you discard As you lose the argument in a drunken bar Hanging above as the losing comes between --Chorus-- Everyone knows I'm in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime It blows my mind It. Blows. My. Mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the movie Big with Tom Hanks. I would love to see the Bengals hire Joe Brady and reunited him with Burrow.

PatternMaster Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Taylor and Turner have done the one thing they couldn't do, allow Burrow to get hurt in the pocket. The playcalling and poor offensive line play are what caused this injury and ensured Taylor has the worst win percentage in NFL history. Taylor and Turner have been holding Burrow back and now they they got him hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 He surely should be fired at season's end but does anyone think it's even a 33% chance the team gets a new coach? This will be the Cincy version of Cleveland keeping Hue after his 1-15 season (when the other team's kicker missed a chip shot at the end) so he could go 0-16 the next year. Taylor will claim marginal improvement from 2-14 to 2-13-1 but got his franchise's future crippled in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, no? Pretty sure everyone here knows what’s what when it comes to how this team operates and I think we’d all agree with that being a resounding NO.

I mean, every player that goes to a different team acts like they just escaped the arena league. That's the culture. T-shirts, weight room murals and louder, angrier coaches aren't going to fix that. I will admit that Marvin overstayed his welcome but the NFL kind of left with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HavePityPlease Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 An interesting reaction from Lions fans after their bad loss to the Texans resulted in Patricia and Quinn's firings.
