The Front Office fooled the fans again...

If you think ZT is the problem, shame on you. The pieces this team has arent good enough and the front office did NOTHING to address it in the offseason. They brought back Bobby Hart and didnt sign any linebackers. They have missed in the draft CONSTANTLY over the past 5 years.

This mess lies on the feet of the FRONT OFFICE.

We have a talent-poor offense, a detached and disinterested FO, and we have a QB coach and his poker buddies doing the coaching...that's a recipe for going 0-4 and being a bottom-tier team.  I'm not saying ZT is hopeless, but the guy is in way over his head and he's learning on the job and that's a factor as to why we are really bad now.

Is it on ZT?  I guess not, but if he is going to attract or hire guys like Turner and Sweet Lou and talk up guys like Bobby Hart he can't exactly throw his hands and say "Not on me!" when things are bad bad super bad.  We're super bad.  We aren't even 6-10 with a slew of injuries last year bad, we're just top to bottom bad at the moment.  A month into the season and we went from players LOVING ZT and having fun and not being afraid to screw up and now it looks like they're just sleepwalking and getting pissed off.

I get the hole being a Bengal puts any player/coach in, but ZT has done a lot to calmly tell us that Dalton and Ross and Turner and Bobby Hart are great...so....um...it's on him by his own admission?  It's all bs. Oh, and our LBs are garbage but hey it's no big deal that the Steelers jumped above us to take a LB in the first round that I was under the impression we wanted. Meh, it's ok we took an o-lineman. Gotta fix that o-line for half a decade.
