I can just imagine them doing it facing the opponents. **** that would be hilarious. Comon, they have to bring this type of taunting back. Don't let them score then. Watch NBA highlights when taunting was legal and it was worth the price of admission. Kemp's point, Dikembe's finger waving and Pippen shoving Ewing after the play are highlights. Jordan barking at people after dunking on them. It's just a game.

I’m not entirely sure Phillips wasn’t paid by some bookies.

Lol you guys are so full of shit.   This team would be winless without Burrow at QB.  Putting Chase in the equation isn't helping your cause either being that he had dropped a ton of crucial catches this year a high first round draft pick shouldn't drop.  Burrow has done well considering the help he has. Considering Burrow has come back from what should have been a career ending kneee injury I'm perfectly satisfied with him.  You want to pull for Herbet then be a Chargers fan.

They are all over Mixon. Why not unleash our 1OA???

Duh we’re getting stopped on 1st and 2nd, we are literally running every time

He’s not the one drooling wide open touchdowns? He’s not the one getting a taunting penalty. He’s not the one who blew coverage on Kittle during the one play where you absolutely can’t blow coverage

He's the coach. Discipline issues (and that's ALL this is) are on the coaching staff.... ultimately. The play on the field is a reflection of the leadership.

Absolutely. Do NOT extend Zac Taylor; not even if the Bengals win today.

pathetic

Running the ball is not gonna do it in this game.

Wow, great game plan coming out of the half, Taylor. Sure glad they deferred for that.

A big problem with analytics is the sample size of an NFL season. More opportunities for your numbers to normalize and hit their expected distributions. You work with a much smaller sample size in the NFL. 

Lac needs to be fired immediately. 3 runs and a punt.

I’m tired of this offense play calling, time to move on from this coaching staff

We are horrible. Who are we running against Cleveland?

And what the hell was that

3 and out lol #firezactaylor

Did we really just come out and run 3 f***** times against a D that’s been killing us up front?

That's what they came up with at halftime? What is the point of having these great receivers if they run on 3rd and 4?

The truth is the reverse - if they don't succeed THIS YEAR they won't do so in the future. Anything short of a playoff win is another disastrous lost season. Another season where they con their fans and give them nothing in return for their support - the NFL version of battered wife syndrome.

Better than certain people posting the game is over in the 1st QTR or the season is over simply because of a few mistakes.

Their punt receiver has caught like three in a row. NFL record?
