Here's a link to the article...but essentially Taylor blamed the WR's for the interceptions. Boyd was targeted on 2 of them...and he criticized the gameplan.
"Three of them were against man-to-man coverage, one-on-ones," Taylor said. "And we got bullied. We did. Guys could go compete, knock the ball down, go get a one-on-one [ball]."
In turn, Bengals receiver Tyler Boyd, who was targeted on two of those interceptions, was critical of the game plan and scheme against New England. Boyd, who finished with three catches for 26 yards, said the method of attack wasn't "top-notch" like it normally is. When asked to elaborate, Boyd was blunt.
"What did it look like out there?" Boyd said. "Did it look like anything was working?"
"(Gilmore) had perfect leverage on an out route. We were running an out route to the field with man coverage -- outside leverage. Think it's going to be a pick?"

I've been saying that all day long. The issue is the Bengals have no receiving threats outside of Boyd and when you can put Stephon Gilmore on him in single coverage it's gonna be bad.
I know the Bad Andy Army will get on me but If you read my posts I've been the drive g force behind Joe Burrow early. This doesnt take away that they need to add talent on the offensive line and in the receiver core.

Auden Tate being injured hurt us. Tate and Boyd both being out there changes things a lot. That said, this loss was on Dalton and no amount of excuses will change that. He’s a 9 year veteran QB, not some rookie. He was terrible today.

Meh, this is extra scoff-worthy since Boyd was talking about having the #1 offense in the NFL a few months ago. Oh well, at least the Browns flopping took some eyes off of our own overconfidence.

I heard Wayne Box Miller on the postgame saying that it was almost as if NE's DBs knew the routes too well. Not sure what he was insinuating, but it was an interesting comment given the week's narrative.

That's EXACTLY what I'd do.
Yeah the NE DB's knowing the routes has been on Twitter too. I think it's insinuating that the offense is predictable.

I think a decision needs made on Eifert too. He was healthy this year, but he didn't look like his normal self.
Would they tag AJ? $17 million seems like A LOT...but they might like the 1 year deal aspect.
I’d offer AJ something around 3 years 45 million. Nowhere near Julio money, but it’s still a fair deal for really good WR.

A simple ankle sprain cannot scare me away from AJ Green.
Neither the ball to erickson nor the one to ross should have been picks. Not necessarily receptions but no way the recievers should let those balls get picked.
The two on Boyd were exceptionally bad throws/decisions. Not much to be done about them by the WR.
