Put that guy on ignore and your Jungle Noise experience will markedly improve.

Maybe they saw season ticket holders dropping like a rock.

I was willing to try one more season with Lou but Pollack had to go.

No matter who you gave him we had a bad line

At a certain point that’s on the coach

A lot of the guys that ended up sucking had good grades we just couldn’t develop them

Look at Volson. Been here 3 years and is now more ass than before

I think they saw Joe Burrow dropping like a rock behind the leaky line.

I wonder where we would have been if we had a competent OL, we sure as shit win at least one of those close games.

Tobin has to go though if he’s booted out the door I really will believe that the old man wants success before he dies.

Paul Dehner suggested in a follow-up tweet that Zac is on the hot seat next season.

I don't understand the firing of James Bettcher. I could've seen the defensive backfield coaches fired, but the linebackers weren't the problem.

They had their fall guys set early. Lou had to go if they believed their shit drafting on D wasn't the problem.

Keep going, Mikey Boy. You can’t be done yet. Keep those pink slips coming!

Have you seen them tackle lately? Neither has anyone else!

The top 3 that need to be looked at are:
- Marion Hobby (poor DL performance as a whole aside from Hendrickson)
- Lou Anarumo (he used to be good with DBs at least, now that seems shaky)
- Frank Pollack (Burrow sacked 48 times - tied 10th most in league)

Pollack may have saved himself with two things - Chase Brown emerging and so many injuries on the OL to excuse the sacks/pressures.

Hobby has to be the first to go, IMO.
You can't blame the lack of pass rush on missing Rankins, Cam Sample, and a hobbled Hubbard.
Your 1st round draft pick in his 2nd year with the team ended with 0.0 sacks in 13 games played this season.

Well damn, nailed all 3 lol

If ZT stays I hope it’s with the understanding that an 0-2 start next year equals instant termination.

I finally did. Dude argues just to argue, I don't understand the mental gymnastics to be like that.

I cancelled my Sunday Ticket after 27 years, does that count?

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Keep Zac Taylor, Dan Pitcher, and whoever coaches the wide receivers. Poopcan everyone else.

We've all got our cross to bear. 

I thought I was wrong once, turns out I was mistaken

Nope.  This "adjustment" buys ZT at least 3-4 more years.  This IS the Bengals after all.
