Well, today probably didn't help the cause.

Then I think the normal reaction is to say first year head coach and will learn and get better which we have improved. But that brings back the question of how much improvement is from Burrow compared to Zac? Every year we start slow and then improve on offense. This is due to adjustments being made but are these Burrow adjustments or Zac's?
I do think Zac has good qualities and is probably underrated in some regards. But what's the bar? Certainly not among the leagues best. The defense is struggling due to lack of talent and a Lou scheme that appears to be tough to pull off properly. But what about the offense? It appears you couldn't have much more talent than we have right now. I know we can point to Higgins just getting back and last week we started to show the potential. But Washington's defense is terrible and the only reason that's not a story is because they won the game. If we don't shoot ourselves in the foot playcalling we probably score TDs on every drive and win the game. Chase had a breakout but again it takes a poor secondary he can run behind. Where are the schemed plays to get him open? Where are schemed plays to get Chase Brown the ball in space. Zac is fine if he has a squad that is oozing with so much talent the other team can't compete.
Commanders are looking pretty good. Everyone makes fun of Kliffie but I know for 1000% fact that both McVay & Taylor think he’s a great play caller.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

Zac Taylor is a bum. I've been saying it for years.

This season would do it for any other HC.

This should be more than enough.

If Taylor isn’t fired today, Burrow should demand a trade, Chase should say he will only play out his contract with no more negotiating and Tee should say the same.
There is not one single reason Taylor and staff should be employed when they leave the stadium today. The SB run was simply in spite of Zac, not because of Zac.

Mike Brown to have a brain transplant. Zac could take a Burrow/Chase/Higgins led team to 1-16 and keep his job for next year.

The only thing that gets Taylor fired is the Browns family selling the team to an actual competent owner who puts winning first.
