Red Zone is The Dead Zone

Oh well, last nights Ohio State win was nice into midnight.  Can't say that I jumped up ready to watch 1 win Bengals.  Game was on my TV, but I was half asleep as both teams are boring.  Patriots means 1-13 coming.  Avatar changed to a Sleeping Santa and mood change to Asleep.  With Christmas coming soon, no time to waste on this team.  They may finish 3-13, who knows, Yawn, Snore, Snore.    

I don't think the Bengals lack aggression, but I do think the playcalling doesn't cater well to getting guys open in short space.
The most points scored all season have been 23. That's pathetic in today's NFL.
If you had Bill Lazor, Hue Jackson, or Jay Gruden as OC right now, the offense would be performing (way) better.

With all that said, I'm willing to give Taylor one more offseason to right the ship.
We have heard that the Bengals FO basically chose to keep the same offensive players from last year to see what Taylor could do with them.
Maybe this offseason they will allow Taylor to have more decision-making with what players to remove and bring in.
That's about the only shred of hope I have for a Taylor-led offense at this point.
