I am a Marvin Lewis hater and wanted him gone saying nobody could do worse, well ZT has proved me wrong. Not only this but his decisions infuriate me. Who runs a fake punt and trots out his franchise QB behind a shotty o-line when a game has clearly been decided? Only Zac Taylor. This team is multiple o-line, d-line, and DB players from being a good team, but more importantly they need a better coach.

This is very well reasoned and well written!

The 2020 season proves the Bengals needed more than just a change at quarterback to be good.  Since January 9, 2016 this team has lost its edge, its will to win, and that special something the best teams have.  Between 2009 and 2015 -- with the exception of 2010 -- I could watch the Bengals knowing they had the potential not just to win but to dominate every game.  Did they always win?  No.  Were they dominant?  Sometimes.  However, between 2009 and 2015 the Bengals won a lot more than they lost!

Since Zac Taylor took over the Bengals have lost a lot of close games.  That's actually a sign of a very bad team.  Adding Joe Burrow really didn't improve the team's win ratio much, either.  This concerns me deeply because it means the team isn't deep with respect to talent and the talent the Bengals do have is being wasted by coaching incompetence.
