How about blaming the guy who put THAT line together in the first place. I'm sure it wasn't just Tobin. Our coaches seem to have a lot of say so in players they sign/draft.

Except when they don’t. Pollack supposedly wanted Creed Humphrey instead of Carman for example.

Starting with getting rid of Lou and Pitcher and only allowing Zac to stay if he gives up ANY control over play calling. The Bengals are 6th in the league in Scoring Offense. Burrow leads the the league in Passing Yards, is tied for the lead in TD Passes, and is second in Passer Rating. Chase leads the league in Receiving Yards by 277 and in Receiving TD's by 3. And they're doing it starting three Day 3 picks on offense, not to mention journeymen at TE. Pitcher is going nowhere. Lou, yeah, needs to go. But if the defense could perform at all, we'd be a serious contender. RE: Probably time to rebuild - pulses - 11-12-2024 (11-12-2024, 08:37 AM)Nicomo Cosca Wrote: Except when they don’t.

Mike Brown is the one that wanted Carman. He personally reached out to Paul Alexander about him.

Mike Brown would fk up a wet dream so I can see why that one went the way it did lol RE: Probably time to rebuild - PCB Bengal Fan - 11-13-2024 (Yesterday, 03:59 AM)pulses Wrote: Mike Brown would fk up a wet dream so I can see why that one went the way it did lol He destroyed his dad's legacy by himself.

Hard to judge Pollack if he isn't getting the players he wants for his scheme. Is this happening on the DL with Hobby? His trenches have been shit too besides Trey pretty much. Did Lou want Geno Stone? There are a lot of questions that need answering for us to know a solution...

I take that with a grain of salt. I've literally seen it nowhere except a couple of times in this board.

I mean, I liked Carman too, but if the guy has no heart it was never going to manifest. He was talented as we saw in flashes at LT. All I know is the current coaches should be able to pick their guys for who they coach. It is sabotage otherwise.

But we're not talking about a less than one score game. We're talking about literally one single play in each of those 3 losses. Stop of 4th and 16, game over. Hit FG in OT, game over. Convert 2pt conversion, game...well, the game was "likely" over. Maybe.

Maybe. A touchdown (both scoring one or allowing one) is one single play.

Actual plays that happened in the game, i mean. Sure, it's a distinction without difference...to a degree. Bottom line is, good teams make plays to win, bad teams don't make plays and lose. Can't really argue they've not been a good team and the depth of blame is both sad and scary.

Can't really argue they've not been a good team and the depth of blame is both sad and scary. "If we didn't allow a TD on that 1 actual play that happened, we win." That's a hell of a lot less imaginary than "if we got a second try at the 2pt conversion because they call a penalty we might have converted it and then held on for a W." Almost every team can point to various games where one play decided it. Agreed with your bottom line. Always makes me think of those previous Chargers seasons where they always found a way to lose a close game.

I see what you're saying but it's still not the same as if they make 1 stop on 4th down, make 1 FG that would instantly end the game and convert 1 pass that would give them the lead with less than 40 seconds left... Anyway. None of it matters. They are what they are. |
