Face it, even with a halfway decent defense we probably already have 8 wins, because the offense is humming even with the injuries. I think Lou might be on the hotseat, it all depends on how they view the performance vs. the injuries. Probably be some position coaches changed, but that's about it. If ANYTHING happens to Taylor, it would at most be Brown telling him to give up the play calling and turn it over to Pitcher. But yet, there again, scoring points is not the issue. Keeping the other team from scoring has been the bane of this season.

Quote:The Cincinnati Bengals' stars are performing at an extremely high level.


Joe Burrow leads the NFL in yards passing and TD passes, Ja'Marr Chase is on pace for a rare receiving triple crown, and Trey Hendrickson has more sacks than any other player.

Sounds like a recipe for success.

Unfortunately for the Bengals, it hasn't worked out that way so far.

Cincinnati is mired in 10th place in the AFC with a 4-7 record despite having a chance to become the first team since sacks became an official stat in 1982 to have the league leader in yards passing, yards receiving and sacks in the same season.

Six of the Bengals losses have come by seven points or fewer thanks to some missed field goals in key spots, defensive breakdowns and no go-ahead TD drives by Burrow and the offense in the fourth quarter.

Burrow became the second QB in NFL history to lose consecutive starts when throwing for at least 350 yards and three TDs without an interception in a 34-27 loss to the Chargers on Sunday night. The Bengals rallied from 27-6 down to tie the score in the fourth before Evan McPherson missed two field goals and the Bengals punted in the final minute to set up the Chargers' game-winning drive.

Burrow has thrown for 3,028 yards with 27 TDs and four interceptions this season. The seven previous QBs who threw for at least 3,000 yards and 25 TDs with five or fewer interceptions in the first 11 games combined for a 69-8 record compared to Burrow's 4-7 mark.

Burrow isn't alone in putting up prolific numbers in Cincinnati with Chase leading the NFL with 73 catches, 1,056 yards and 12 TDs. Only four players since the merger led the NFL in those three categories for an entire season to win the Triple Crown: Cooper Kupp (2021), Steve Smith (2005), Sterling Sharpe (1992) and Jerry Rice (1990).

Hendrickson's 11 1/2 sacks are the most for any player, ahead of the nine for the Giants' Dexter Lawrence and Denver's Nik Bonitto.

That said, they won't fire Taylor with a top 10 offense.

Thankfully I don't have to live vicariously through my sports teams like Shitsburgh fans, cause we ain't seeing a championship in the Queen City until these buffoons decide to let football people run the show. I ain't talking Puke Tobin either.

It just dumbfounding that after decades of failure they can't figure out they need to get out of their own way.

After you have control though? You're still doing dumb shit after 30+ years of failure? You finally get it right for a good two year run, and you let that roster deplete itself and make the same stupid mistakes you've done in the past trying to replenish it? No scouts? If Duke Tobin is truly in charge of drafts, why is he still here? I could've hit on Joe Burrow and JaMarr Chase FFS.

Otherwise find a new head coach like a Vrabel to be a full-time head coach. But to bring in a veteran head coach, the front office will most likely have to make changes, which should happen regardless, for this to happen. If they don't, it would most likely an unknown candidate just  happy to get the job.

Bengals Defense on the other hand creates zero pressure and gives up big plays. Bright side is the defense has been better against the run since adding Jenkins and Jackson.

That being said, if we did move on from Zac, I want someone who isn't going to call plays. Someone who will be the head coach and let their OC and DC call plays.
