1. It was fun to watch because of Burrow, not anything Zac has done as a coach.
2. Looked competitive? That is LOL worthy. If by taking the field you mean competitive, then sure. Yesterday's game was more indicative of Zac's performance as a head coach; that's not competitive game play for a professional NFL team.
3. The Bengals built a marketing campaign around New Dey to suggest Zac is a new-age HC. In reality, he was a position coach lacking the experience to be an NFL head coach. It was a hiring blunder & his historically bad coaching record supports this claim. He is not a new-age HC.
Do you have any criticisms for Zac and his place in the history books as one of the worst coaches in league history? If no, then I can only assume you like the forum contrarian tit-for-tat exchange, are an internet troll, President of the Zac Taylor Fan Club, or some other crazy reason that makes you defend Zac.
It'd be a lot easier to simply agree with you all. I know my opinion is not popular, but that's kinda what makes a message board work is differing opinions. I do certainly have criticisms for Zac, but so does everyone else, and I don't feel compelled to say the same crap that's already been said 100 times. Yes, his W/L column absolutely sucks. Yes, we must fix the OL. Yes, Jim Turner was an absolutely stupid hire from the get go. I hated it. It spoke to the absolute polar opposite of the culture he states he's trying to build.
I define competitive as being in the game, not being blown out. We have been quite competitive in both of ZT's seasons. The games certainly haven't fallen our way, I understand.
Perhaps part of my endless wishful thinking and optimism is a result of being a fan of Cincinnati sports. If there's a god, he absolutely hates Cincinnati. I know we had some successes in Baseball, but that was before my time (i'm 36).
