I think turmoil in the locker room is how he gets fired. This is ultimately good.

Man, I hope so. My biggest worry going into next season would be keeping Zac, Burrow comes back and we win 6 games. Then we extend Zac because of the improvement.

I'd say 65% chance they keep him at this point. We need the Fire Zac noise to get really high.

The Cowboys, with 3 wins, played on the road Tuesday night and lost in Baltimore... They went through extremely short week, traveled to Cincinnati and outplayed the Bengals in all aspects... a 3 win team just wanted it more ?

Time of Possession - Bengals > Cowboys
First Downs - Bengals > Cowboys
Total Yards - Bengals > Cowboys
Passing Yards - Bengals > Cowboys
Rushing Yards - Bengals = Cowboys
Penalties - Bengals < Cowboys

So, while yes, Dallas was certainly the better team and definitely outplayed the Bengals, they did NOT outplay the Bengals in "all aspects". I don't understand why, when there is PLENTY of reasons for criticisms, people need to resort to hyperbole/exaggeration to make a point when it is CLEARLY not needed.

Let me keep your mind at peace, if Zac returns, he will not win 6 games with or without Burrow.

Bench Bernard after a single fumble but went 1.5 seasons with Michael Jordan starting at LG without a benching even though he was terrible. Seems right.

Tony and Mo always embellish.  I enjoy listening to them but they often give in to hyperbole.

With the Washington football team being renamed and the Cleveland Indians getting renamed it's time to rename this team to the Regrets.. It'll kind of rhyme with Jets..almost..

We are about to see Zacs Wookie defense used by the famous John Cochran in South Park guys. It’s how he is going to get an extension.

I'm kind of hoping they keep him at this point so maybe they can go 0-16 next year and the year after next and have an entire team of first and second round picks to be the most talented losers of all time..

Bernard with 24% of the RB snaps.

Also Erickson fumbled, yet the next drive, he was receiving targets

Zac Taylor is a goof

it also begs the question WHY IS ERICKSON STILL ON THIS TEAM?!! hes slow, and fumbles with regularity...what exactly does he bring that a FA off the street who will have more speed  cant bring?
I was watching the Bills last night pound the Steelers and just envious of how a small market team shows how it can be done through good drafting , FA moves, coaches, and having a successful vision in place.

Taylor said the RB rotation was planned. Had nothing to do with Bernard's fumble.

I can sorta see that....as in they wanted a good long look at Williams, and Perine to a lesser extent. Maybe it was just bad timing....but it sure looked bad.

I’d say if we lose out, it’s a coin toss if Zac is fired or not.

I despise rooting against my team, but... this year is a wash anyway. The league draft is set up so it benefits the biggest losers. And if it results in the firing of the most incompetent head coach in NFL history, well... let’s at least lose out with dignity

Well... that was pretty much the Bengals 5 years ago.

Perine had 28 carries. Williams 27.

Haha! People should agree!

The NFL is the ultimate coaches league where great offensive minds can script above average QB's to have a great year.

Here...nope. We expect the QB to make the coach look good.
