I think that Taylor criticism is warranted where it's warranted, but the listing of the ship from one side to the other from a win against a dominating very good team (ZT is good then, right?) and then a bad loss to one of the best teams in football (now he's a bum).... with a completely destroyed roster.... is a little over the top. It's cry baby stuff.

- If we include a virtually worthless AJ Green, I saw a stat where the Bengals were playing without something, like, $75 million of their salary cap yesterday due to injury. What coach can play a really good team like that along with a rookie QB and a bunch of coaches out, etc etc.? Like, they literally had position coaches driving back to Cincy yesterday because of COVID contact rules on top of the players being out. -

My expectations at this point are to keep Burrow upright and get on to next year. Why any fans get this worked up over a Bengals loss during a throw away "grow the rookie QB" year is nuts to me.

Reminds me of the scene in the God Father...

He might as well not have made the trip to the stadium to play Pitt or Balt. with his gameplanning. The players were not prepared. The strategy was way off the mark. He continues to get out coached.

At a certain point, patience turns into deeply questioning whether he's shown anything at any point in time that his coaching is what won us any game.

Honestly, I feel like the momentum of Burrow is what won us the Tenn. game. We also matched up well against them on offense. 

Patience with Zac is as thin as it's been after this loss, and rightfully so. He needs to proves us all wrong the rest of the way, or get replaced.

And to me he's ran out of time. If he doesn't win at least 4 of the remaining 7 I say pull the plug.

Getting Burrow is cool and all, but he's going to be Bungalized 100% by the end of next year without changes at the top, and I'm pretty confident Mikey's going to let it ride with Zach. Not my f*cking team, no thanks.

If we had a true GM, we would be much closer I think.  
Zack Taylor compared to Tomlin and Harbaugh for openers is just a chuckle and the rest is evidenced on how they get prison raped each and every time they play these teams.
