We have a tough schedule but damn to be lucky to get back to back west coast teams at home only to suck it up. Ffs

That’s just one of the countless mistakes he made. He’s fuvking horrible. Humiliating. Worst coach in the league.

I'll have to disagree with you on him being the worst coach in the league.  I think Nagy is just as bad

What happened to Joey raising the level of the players around him?

Myth.

**** Paul Brown for not leaving this team to anybody else other then Mike Brown.

Why does this idiot think he knows better than everybody else? Constantly on the cutting edge of futility. Creating new ways to **** things up coming up on 2 ***** decades. It’s unbelievable.

Exactly this! Some players need to be given a duffel bag, but how does a top 5 rusher, higher rates WR trio in the league and #1OA QB score less than some teams have done in a single quarter?

Let’s switch. We need to know.

My cousin vinny reference

Lets be real here we have garbage backups on the Oline. Burrow had an amazing game maybe the best of his professional career. Yet we ruin it by not getting a stop in OT Stupid taunting that led to a TD and set up 2 more with muffed points. All the while we have a head coach that seems to think of Joe mutha bleeping Burrow is a game manager

No matter how good your QB is, there’s no such thing as your QB raising the level of play for a struggling punt returner muffing punts. A great QB isn’t going to make your defensive coordinator all of a sudden know what the **** he’s doing. Nor will it make your limp wristed safety grow a ***** pair and make a play.

Took out of field goal range on another drive. 49ers cbs got lost but luckily the Bengals chose not to exploit that. Notice what the 49ers did when they had success? They used it to win the game.

Some people will never fault Taylor.

It falls on Phillips and Taylor. Phillips for gifting the 49ers points multiple times and robbing us of the possessions. It then falls on ZT in OT with the shitty playcalling. We have passes going for great gains and what does he do…dial up two straight runs on 1st/2nd down putting in obvious passing situation, WHICH ALSO KILLED A DRIVE IN THE 4th QUARTER. Why he felt the need to run the ball I will never know but ultimately could have cost the game and quite frankly, the playoffs.

AL isn't going to be happy whatsoever.

Said in his press conference that the 49ers gave them a "look" that dictated they call those 2 runs.  Maybe just rely on your franchise QB who is hot, and high draft pick WRs instead of your very mediocre Oline that couldn't run block the entire game.  Absolutely clueless.

The true bungles are us fans deciding to stay fans after 35 years of mike brown

Doesn't matter. If not him, someone else. Didn't Evan "insert nickname here" McPherson miss an easy field goal earlier?

It's always something.

Pick your poison for blame in this game, the list is long

Blame Taylor for his conservative play calls.

Blame Lou for not adjusting the defense to cover the one guy you need to defend in Kittle

Blame Phillips for the turnovers

Blame Chase for the drops that killed drives

Blame the OL for not creating running lanes or keeping Burrow protected

Blame Mixon for not getting any push on his runs

Blame Burrow for taking sacks and some poor throws.

Blame Bates for dropping the INT.

Blame McPherson for missing a FG.

Outside of Higgins and Boyd and the DL, you can literally blame the entire team and coaching staff for this loss.

Do you put your trash to the curb every week or do you just let it sit there an accumulate?

Missed it byyyyyyyyyyyy || <--that much! That's your Cincinnati Bengals. 

Can't wait to read about "proud of this team for fighting" "didn't give up" "gonna watch film and figure it out". 

It's all coming, as usual.

Agree. As I just said he did the same thing that killed a drive in the 4th quarter. If you cant run the ball you cant run the ball. Joe B just got us to overtime and was driving and ZT took the game out of his hands. In all honesty with 2 straight runs it seemed as though ZT was playing for a FG thinking the D likely would make a stop.

People are saying I'm a Zac Taylor guy which is wrong. I'm still iffy that the Bengals offense has not married the run offense to the pass offense and they need a new offensive coordinator.

That doesnt change the facts today. Darius Phillips with not 1 but 2 muffed punts gifted the 49ers with points and in the NFL that speaks a high percentage chance of a loss.
