Fact is this team has been bad since the middle of 2015 !
Since the 8-0 start to 2015 the remainder of the games coached by ML lead Bengals went 23-33. 5 of those 23 victories were against the Browns !! who won like 5 games in 3 seasons.
17 wins remaining. 7 of those 17 victories were against teams with season records of 5-11 or worse. That's 12 wins, OVER HALF, against teams with 5-11 record or worse.
10 wins remaining. I didn't go thru every one of them but at least 3 are against teams who finished under .500
The Bengals have like 6 or 7 wins against teams with winning records (for that season) since the middle of 2015 thru end of 2018.
People need to stop acting like the Bengals after the start to 2015 were good, on the cusp, about to break out, a couple players away, or however you want to put it ? Under ML
ZT inherited a very bad team......period
Having said all of that even I am on the fence about him.
As for Taylor, it's his 1st gig as HC and I think he will get better. Look at Matt Patricia, he was horrid in Detroit last year and they have been playing great this year. I would like to see Zac relinquish his title of OC. Let Callahan take over as OC. Find a new DC, new o-line coach.
