The chiefs have won games with backup qbs without Mahomes.
The ravens made the playoffs with a scrub qb last year, and almost beat us in the playoffs as well.
Good coaches can still salvage a playoff birth with a backup qb.
The Bengals have invested a lot in the oline and have a lot of weapons on offense. Good coaching should allow them to make the playoffs and likely lose in the first round. Do I expect that to happen? No.
What I expect to happen is watching the 9ers vs ravens in the Super Bowl and hopefully the bengals reevaluate what winning football looks like.
The OL despite the investment hasn’t performed. It’s Frank Pollack obviously. The backup QB is not Matt Cassel. What backup replaced Mahomes and how many games? I’ll hang up and listen. If you want to blame Zac & FO for not having a better backup have at it I agree. If you want to blame the entire organization for the OL status have at it. But SF is dominating Philly right now and just a few weeks ago we dominated the 49ers at Levi. So I guess we were trending pretty good. Tyler Huntley wasn’t leading this team with the remaining schedule to the landfill much less the playoffs BTW
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
