Fixed..

No HC/QB combo has ever won a SB if the kicker keeps missing critical field goals..

in the Offseason. But honestly good coaches win close games and Zac Taylor in the end is the HC. I would clean house with the coaches but
we all know that probably will never happen.

Quote:Nine NFL offensive linemen allowed at least six pressures in Week 10, and four were Bengals players: Cody Ford (eight), Alex Cappa (eight), Cordell Volson (seven) and Amarius Mims (six).

"McPherson is 19/19 on FGs in the postseason."
They're not in the post season and they aren't to going to make this one partly due to missed field goals barring a miracle..

"He isn't why they didn't win a SB and instead is the reason they even reached one."
Three years ago and fading fast..

"He also doesn't play on the 28th scoring defense and last year he didn't mess up Burrow's wrist or play on the 21st scoring defense."
Not sure what happened last year has to do with now..seems you like living in the past..

THIS year I can think of two games lost due to missed critical field goals..6/5 would be better than 4/7 no?

That's beyond shameful!

Like you said, we need to clean house with the coaches, and it obviously starts with Taylor, but get rid of Lou, improve the line, and we might be ok.

If Mike Brown were still running the show, I'd agree that it would never happen, but this front office seems willing to make changes.

Burrow and our skill positions are pretty good, especially Chase, Tee and Chase Brown who honestly if he had any good holes can take it all
the way. Been waiting for a big run to the house for Chase Brown but the OL simply has not opened up that one hole yet. I can see we are 
on the verge of it but Cappa honestly looks washed up and this could be hurting Mims who otherwise would be having a good rookie year.

Burrow is top of the league in yards and TDs, and near the top in so many categories and he's doing it with one of the worst lines in the league.

It's scary to think how good he can be.

Agree on Mims being the only athletic linemen, but there are ways to scheme around it, which good coaches do.

I'm praying we take the money we used on tagging Higgins, along with the salary cap going up, and spend it on the line. My only fear is that we spend so much time on Chase's contract that we don't get quality players and then use the Chase negotiations as the excuse.

Just two posts below that I point out that McPherson has NEVER been above average in FG%. I've also said multiple times in other threads over the last couple weeks that McPherson has the yips and is broken because he's much worse than even that this year.

Its really simple: THIS year field goals have been a problem that have cost the Bengals games..

Carry on with your crusade..

Who would take over DC if we did fire him during the bye is my question?

(11-20-2024, 05:19 PM)BigBad Wrote: For balance:

Pats game 3 and out with the game on the line.
Chiefs game Burrow fumbles and Chiefs run it in for TD. Also had the ball with under 7:00 to go at own 16, up 25-23 and get no points.
Ravens home game bad interception with 3:00 to go. Forced the slant to Chase.
Eagles game was outplayed by Hurts.
Chargers game, yes 2 missed FGs, but need to finish is you are an MVP

No game-winning drives or 4th Quarter comebacks this year.

I'd like to get him some help in the form of better players before casting him off. One or two bad guys on defense will kill the whole thing. His defense is full of mediocre players with a couple of stars thrown in. That's not really his fault, it's Dukes.
