For some weird reason a small segment of Bengals fans dug in that he was bad last 2 years and insist on continuing to be hyper-critical of him even though we are a young team that just won a tough division. It's weird. Bengals fans are weird.

They need a scapegoat, and they need to be right all of the time. It was the same way with Dalton, no matter what he did, or how well he played at times.

Per https://t.co/aeSIy7pUnp, Zac Taylor now the front-runner for NFL Coach the Year:
Taylor +140
LaFleur +150
Vrabel +350
Siranni +1200
Belichick +1600

Marvin Lewis (2009) was last #Bengals coach to win it

looks wise cause it worked.... Had their not been a penalty and we gave up the ball with no points   would people still be happy?

If you read the article, and the analytics behind it, you might think differently. Even if it blew up, you give Mahommes and company less time to go about 70 yds with no timeouts to kick the FG....99 to get the TD. Myself, I liked it immediately. In any other instance, probably not. However, we're talking Patty, Kelce, and Hill with ample clock and maybe a TO (don't recall) if we kick right there. If your opponent was the NYG, then yeah, probably an unnecessary risk.

Also, Mixon play is reviewed and likely reversed. Boyd probably scores on the other play if his facemask isn't yanked.

i liked getting the 1st and running down the clock/timeouts... I did not like fishing for a penalty on 4th down risking no points  when the defense had basically shut down the chiefs the entire Half.

Showd lack of confidence in a Defense that had played very well since the half

.....or confidence in your offense to get it done...and in the event you don't, you believe the D will hold one more time. Perspective. Joe Burrow noted that he was taking more risks this year early in the season because they believed in their defense. Interpret how you wish my good man.

Another interesting note, I saw another article that said KC blew that entire sequence and that they should've just let us score to give their offense a chance.

Taylor deserves it no question.

Right, without the penalties we score anyway and win by 7.
