Green Pay, we had 2 FG attempts for wins and the Jets we had an 11 point lead midway through the 4th quarter. If we had won those games, we'd be sitting at 8-2 and one of the top teams in the league.
Now, sure, reality is what it is and we're at 6-4 but we are this close (i'm holding my index finger extremely close to my thumb) to being 8-2 which I think we would all agree is pretty damn good for a guy who had 6 total wins coming into this season.

Yeah, the NFL can change on a dime, clean up the little mistakes and we could be much better then what our record says.
Hope this happens the rest of the season and we continue to clean up these little mistakes.

Or Logan picks up the scoop and score.

Out for this week too.

Even if Logan just fell on that fumble it could of been another win.
We need to look for a Waynes replacement, pretty ridiculous for him to almost always be injured as a Bengal.

Yes, he's gotten better. But he was so bad that it would have been hard for him to have gotten worse.
The fans want a championship. Is Taylor the guy to bring one?
If the answer to that question is no, then there's no reason to keep the guy around after the season. If the answer is yes, then he's going to need to show it this season and win a playoff game.

Yeah, I remember that Dolphins game when the Bengals came back down two TDs and two two-point conversions to tie the game and send it to OT. I was throwing shit certain they were going to blow it and we would lose Burrow.

Yeah, that was a strange experience. Had the game happened early in the season we would have been cheering them on and marveling at the comeback. Instead, we knew the 1OA pick was in the balance and their losing was needed to secure it. Hope they never put us in that position again.

Would've sucked to end up with that Herbert guy.

Yes, ZT has this team playing really well. Still has to finish the season out but there is enough here to say he has improved quite a bit.

Yeah have to wait and see how it all plays out at the end of the season. But it's hard not to see some promise after a game like we had today. I was really worried about this game and thought our season could really hinge on if we won or not. So that was very impressive.

Yes. But he had nowhere to go but up.
He still makes some dumbass 4th down decisions, and the short yardage play-calling still stinks. He flat out lost us the Jets game and almost lost us the Vikings game.
However, he deserves a lot of credit for flipping the roster over and changing the culture. Draft picks have been mostly pretty good. Burrow, Chase, and McPherson are home runs. Higgins darn good. Evans a steal. Ossai looked like a homer before the injury. Logan Wilson solid. Adeniji.
The FA additions have almost been universally good. Reader, Hendrickson, Bell, Ogunjobi, Awuzie, Hilton, Reiff, Spain. Even Apple & Perine. The only real whiff is Waynes and that is due to injury, not poor play. I'd love for him to get healthy and start earning his money. The BJ Hill for Price deal was highway robbery.

Zac is improving but I still wish he had an NFL bona fide offensive coordinator and let them play call. Zac seems really good at identifying players to get, setting the tone and culture of the team and overall head coach stuff.

He needs to stop calling that screen crap like the one that got picked off against the jets and almost got picked off today
