I fell into the trap of "expecting" to beat the Jets and that bit me. I was not willing to "expect" we beat the Browns and I was right that time, but still shocked how badly we lost.
I will just re-iterate what I said in the Browns prediction thread:
And I'll just leave it at that. Every game will be a coin flip.
I will renew my cynicism about Zac Taylor though. He tricked me with that Baltimore win. But no more. You are what your record says you are and, right now, Zac Taylor is a 0.280 winning percentage head coach (11-29-1).
Even if he ends the season with 10 wins on the season, making him 16-32-1 (.327), I would expect us to let him go and find a new coach. At this point, the only thing that I think should save his job is a deep playoff run.
And I just don't see that happening at this point.
Unfortunately, we all know there is no way on God's green Earth that MB fires a 9-10 win coach. If Zac wins 9 or 10 a year he is the next Marvin Lewis. Better buckle up if he wins 9 or 10 this year.
