That's what I'm saying! Just watch their presser too. They look defeated... One of them is just gonna come out and blatantly say what we all want to soon..

Well said and it's okay to have changing opinions. I don't get the whole "Aha, I caught you liking  when you previously said he sucked" approach people use when posting. If someone has changing perspectives, it doesn't make sense trying to use it to discredit them for a current take. It's just empty rhetoric.

Taylor isn't the guy not getting open or running into the back of the oline and falling down. If they're unhappy, they need to look in the mirror

I can't stand he won't ever take blame in the presser either..

You ever think it's the moron drawing the plays up? Chase has complained about this multiple times already...

We are one game worse off at this time and here's the shocker....The year's not over. Given after last year Zac set a bar that is going to be hard to top, but I'm sure he and the team are more confident than you.

Need to make him more than a face then. I see Zac calling plays, give the other guy a chance.

I have heard Brian Callahan talk, he isn't stupid, he worked with Peyton Manning for heck sake.

I'm starting to think Mixon might have the worst balance of any RB i've seen. He has a very awkward running style and anytime he has to change directions, he either trips over his own feet or the wind knocks him over. 

Zac getting fried in the media today. We can only hope the front office sees all this..

Funny how our coaches are so awful everygame we lost was a blowout.... blowout in this case being 3 points with a walk off fieldgoal. How bad does that make those other coaches that could only beat us by 3

I agree. Look at the frustration Chase has on his face. 

Also, lets just take a snapshot of the playcalling and look at drive two.
Play one is a run formation, and all the movement pre-snap indicates a run and--go figure--it's a run right where the defense thinks it's going. 
Play two we bring Chase in the backfield and it's an obvious run with him for nothing. 
Play three it's an obvious pass.
Everything is very predictable for the defense. How do we solve that?

Stop messing around, keep Chase out wide or in the slot and go shotgun on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down and either run it or pass it every play. The defense won't know which one you are doing.

They also need to mix it up with the route combinations more. But running it out of shotgun will keep the defense off balance and guessing. 

If we can stop telegraphing our plays/what we are doing we will be in the 30 points plus per game range.

Zac should shoulder the blame for the offense's slow start. His predictable play calling isn't fooling anyone. He needs to do better. If he doesn't, I want Chase and others to chase him out of town.

Ya they were 10-7 last year.. Worst is worst.. They deffinetly regressed since last year..0-2 in the division is a really bad look too..

The Bengals are 2-3 with their losses coming by a combined 7 points. I agree that the year has been disappointing so far, but the way that people act around here to a loss is absurd.

The players aren’t turning on the coach. That’s something that the trigger happy fans do; the same fans that were talking about building a ZT statue 6 months ago. Dramatics and overreactions.

I got a feeling you are acting a little irrational and making things up in your head. Go outside and get some air

Way better, that's how.. Losing close games constantly like this is real tell on how bad the coaching really is. Blowouts have to do with that coupled with bad talent. When you lose like this with all the talent, it's almost a gurantee it's coaching..

They are second last in yards per play with a core of Burrow, Higgins, Chase, and Mixon. 

That is alarming. 

We can still split with pissburgh and Baltimore. 0-2 is not a great division start, but it's not coffin nails either....

So you're saying Baltimore has no talent?
