We know about the scoring we give up before the half as a sign of inept coaching. How about failing to score a single point in the 3rd quarter...and yes this streak goes back to when Burrow was here too. It's inept coaching at it's finest.

The Bengals haven't scored in the third quarter since Week 7. #Bengals

I think this dispels the narrative that we would have won more games with Burrow. We would have likely been more competitive, but ultimately found ways to lose.

Still not a single 3rd quarter point since Week 7!

Someone spiking the Gatorade at the half? Hell that might make them play better

Zac Taylor on what goes wrong on offense during third quarters: "Everything. Penalties, drops. It's hard to watch. It’s hard to take in." #Bengals

This fact doesn't really dispel that. 

Weeks 1-7 there was only 1 time they didn't score in the 3rd, @Bmore. 

Week 8 was the Titans where they scored in every quarter but the 3rd. 
Week 9 bye
Week 10 Pittsburgh

Week 11 Washington, injured in the 3rd. 

Pitt and Baltimore were the only games they were out of it entirely, including the 3rd quarter. Tennessee they scored 31 with zero coming in the 3rd. 

The thing it dispels is that Zac has any answer and that he put together any kind of team that was able to be competitive, without Burrow. 

I'll take the frustrating postseason and primetime losses of Marvin Lewis over the "New Dey."
At least the team was solid in the regular season under Marvin. Zac Taylor has made the Bengals absolutely embarrassing AF.

Backup QB

No Mixon

SHIT coach



This isn’t surprising

Mixon was only averaging 3.6 YPC this year. He wouldn't really be a huge upgrade IMO. The problem is the OL.
His best year was 2018 when he had 4.9 YPC. He had his highest yardage for both rushing and receiving even though he only played 14 games.
That year, the Bengals OL was Glenn-Boling-Price-Redmond-Hart.
The biggest difference between then and now is that Pollack was the OL coach. He put together a blocking scheme that really worked well.
It's unfortunate that Pollack wanted to leave either due to Marvin being let go and/or because of Taylor coming in.

C'mon..everyone knows the Bengals only want to be known as the most talented losing team in all of football for all time..This bunch could have an entire team of hall of famers in their primes and still lose..Now THAT'S a skill never replicated anywhere..
