This article says it all about the Bengals, 1 score games and beating the AFC north
The case for firing Zac Taylor
Taylor is now 46–52–1 as a head coach in the NFL coming off a season in which he had an MVP-level player (Joe Burrow), a Triple Crown winner (Ja’Marr Chase) and a DPOTY performance (Trey Hendrickson).
Even worse, Taylor is 17-36 in one-score games. He’s just 13-23 against the AFC North.
Perhaps worst of all, he’s just 1-11 over the first two weeks of a season. The team started 1-4 this year. 1-3 last year. 0-2 in 2022. 1-1 in 2021, the win in overtime. 0-2-1 in 2020. Technically, 0-11 in 2019.
Taylor was a developmental coach when the Bengals hired him, which was fine. But the development hasn’t been there (a quarterback equivalent would have been benched long ago). The lack of readiness, in-game decisions and results just aren’t there
