with how dallas is playing, I dont think that defeat looks bad in hindsight

This ravens one is bad though for sure

Put me in the group that DAL is overachieving without Dak Prescott.
Maybe I'm going too much off his past, but I think Cooper Rush is looking better right now than he actually is because teams don't really know him.
The Bengals should have beaten this guy, but they haven't figured out how to play against a Cover 2 after 5 games.

The Ravens team the Bengals just played is better than the Cooper Rush-led Cowboys the Bengals played in Week 2.

Agree here.

It’s getting really hard to get up and watch these games

And it’s not the players fault. Iv watched 4-12 and 1-15 seasons and have LOVED every minute.


The coaching is so trash right now I’m starting to feel trying is a waste and Iv never felt like that before about a sports team. I’d be fine if this roster was bottom 5. But this is a Super Bowl caliber roster that Taylor is f***** up

That's the problem.. How bad of a coach do you have to be, to **** up with this roster? I don't care what anyone says, the players have to be disgruntled over it..

So you LOVED watching teams with far inferior players and provably inferior coaches, but you find it hard to watch these current games?

Give me a break. Just call for Zac's firing and leave it at that. Trying to get creative in justifying your hatred of Zac is causing some of you to post some ridiculous shit.

You're right. We should get that coaching staff that coached this team to the Super Bowl back.

I don't know. Same coach took this team to the Super Bowl last year, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ...

So he's got an eye for talent. Doesn't change that his game schemes leave a lot to be desired.

Hey, if he gives up playcalling it won't hurt my feelings. That said, I think he's the right choice as Head Coach

He didn't build the roster. Duke had most the say in that...

(10-11-2022, 01:37 PM)Tony Wrote: He didn't build the roster. Duke had most the say in that...

Right. And Duke just did things on his own. Didn't talk to the coaching staff AT ALL.

(10-11-2022, 01:37 PM)Tony Wrote: He didn't build the roster. Duke had most the say in that...

....right, because beforehand, Duke had always targeted team captains and coaches kids....and got players from playoff/super bowl winners in FA, and championship college programs. Oh, wait......

Duke has been with the Bengals 23 years, but we had to hire Zac so Tobin could build a Super Bowl team "in spite" of Zac.

It's REALLY freaking laughable when you read out loud the way you expressed it here. Rep.

Taylor is the one who got them to finally utilize free agency in a serious way.

1. I’ve watched Burrow religiously since he arrived at LSU. I’ve listened to most interviews. His Heisman speech. I’ve watched interviews with his family. And if you were paying attention, you’d know that against all suggestions, he didn’t pull an Eli Manning and went to one of the historically weakest franchises in the NFL. You don’t do that if you’re not committed for the long haul. I knew who Burrow was when yall were in year 30 of sub-mediocrity. And I mean that respectfully. Did you? No. So yes, it does mean that, genius.

2. Dude, you’re so green on message boards clearly. I don’t know of a single message board that repeatedly disses outsiders, especially if they support the team and are respectful.

Wouldn’t be surprised if you’re one of them. Why don’t you FOH. There’s plenty of Bengals fans that aren’t rude, sub-par posters.

Also, and sorry for the 2 posts (not typical on message boards, trying to help you out here), you have NO IDEA what Burrow meant to LSU. He will have a statue there. He is the best thing to happen to LSU since Saban. So much so that I know MANY LSU fans that, like me, and unlike you, have watched every Bengals game the last 2 seasons.

You leave a hole in the field if you do. A fire zone rectifies that issue by bringing someone on a "blitz" but replacing them via an end dropping into coverage. Every single team in the NFL does it, it's a common defensive tactic. 

That ruined baker's career hahaha.

I've watched every second of EVERY Bengals game since 2009, either on Sunday Ticket or in person.

I also saw every snap of Burrow's career at LSU, because, thanks to my favourite player ever, I became a defacto fan of LSU in 2009 as well

Not only will he have a statue, he is the single-greatest Tiger in history and should be revered as such. More than Casanova, more than Jones, more than Ben McDonald, more than Shaq, etc.

So yes, next time you want to make a pissing match out of a discussion, do it with someone whom you know intrinsically CANNOT beat you *and* try to remove emotion from it

PS: If you're an opposing fan and you shit on our team when our Golden Boy has not played up to par himself this year, then you should absolutely expect blowback.
