Finley is 13 for 31 for 115 yards. Mixon finished with 15 carries. Bernard had 3 also.

It is a one score game.
Zac Taylor has called 21 passes with a rookie QB who has completed 9....... and run it 15 times with Mixon averaging 7.4 yards per carry and team averaging 8.4 per carry ?#Bengals

Wouldn't surprise me if they're tanking on purpose for #1.  It just became that much more valuable when Tua went down.

Agreed. Zac has clearly shown himself to be a clueless nitwit.

I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt until today. This loser is in way over his head as a HC. When we go 0-16, they had better clean house or else we are completely f***** for god knows how many years.

See, IF they were actually good earlier in the year...I'd buy that.

He just appears to be clueless.

Mixon had a 30 yard run to start the game...and didn't hit 100 yards rushing. THAT'S a crazy stat.

I really don't think that will drive any changes in the way this team is run. Unfortunately.

All 0-16 means is they will come up with more creative excuses. OK even that isn't true. They'll keep spouting the same garbage as always because they really don't care. The money is still there.

Pat - I feel like we'll win a game or 2...but go read Bengals.com and the Hobson's Choice. I doubt that they fire this staff.

Looks like they blame this year on injuries like the last year. And growing pains of a new scheme.

Well, they finally scripted an opening drive that resulted in a score. Baby steps..

Didn't they have a TO opening drive?

Of course with this team that may be part of the plan.....

We want to see what he has. Anybody can hand off.

Yeah Finley got sacked and stripped.

Yeah...down 36 against the Ravens Mixon had 30 carries.

Yep. This is the most likely outcome

I don't think they made that decision at the beginning of the year.  More likely, it was a bye week decision coinciding with Dalton's benching.  If Andy had played today, we probably would have won.  Wins the rest of the way are basically meaningless and only hurt their chances at the #1 pick.

Idc what the reason this dude is clueless

I still maintain we should use the #1 pick to at least attempt to entice a real HC to come here.

He's been a bad playcaller at every stop he's been at. No reason for things to be different here.

I don’t think you can draft them.

All joking aside, letting a HC use the #1 pick as he sees fit might be the only way to get a real HC to come here.  But we won't do that, and so on.

With the number one draft pick, the Bengals trade the #1 pick for Bill Bellichick of the New England Patriots.

The decision to go for it down 17-10 with nearly 5 minutes left and 3 timeouts told me all I need to know about this guy..This staff is really incompetent, with John Jerry as your left tackle why not chip all game long??why do we constantly call screen plays when it's clear our can't sell it or block it the way it's supposed to be blocked or sold??


Definitely we coach these guys to be robots, the one time we called a robber coverage jessie bates got a pick, how bout being more freaking aggressive on defense, I hate this not taking chances philosophy early in games, it's like we're not aggressive until it's predictable..I truly hope this entire staff is canned at the end of the year honestly...
