The salary cap funny money writeup is coming next. Watch 60m turn into 13m once he's done with it.

Shocker. I wonder how many other teams would keep everything together after a 2-14 season and preach "consistency" at the fan base? We treat 2-14 the same way other teams treat 14-2.

Have no issue here...Hopefully, better players come in, and you get AJ back to become the deep threat again which creates open parts of the field consistently. Thought I read the Bengals lost 7 games by 6 points or less and a couple of those were with the QB change and at least a couple more were with bad moves made by ZT who was learning to be a HC....You're never as good or as bad as you are in the NFL..A handful of plays/turnovers, penalties, at most, determine games.

If this team gave up and was not playing hard then I agree....

Still don't like that headline, but I agree with you Higgy. Taylor hopefully learns how to coach on the field better and the 
coaching did improve as the year went on. The players didn't play like they were giving up at all this season which is more
then I can say for the year before under Marv. Just hoping that Taylor either hands over the reigns of play calling to someone
better or he improves in this aspect big time as well. Think he put too much on his plate in his first year as HC.

Getting the players in here to help Taylor and company out is my question. Cannot do it all through the Draft.

[sandwedge]

Serious question, why is Wade Phillips not returning to LA?

1. I never rely on better players coming in, because we rely solely on the draft to fix everything.

2. AJ being healthy and playing at a high level is a huge if.

3. Almost all losing teams can make a similar claim. Most losses in the NFL are close.

4. Wasn't it Parcells who said "you are what your record says you are"?

I get wanting to keep things the same when you're winning. We did that quite a bit. Now we keep things the same while we're losing too, and invent reasons why. It seems Mike just doesn't like to change coaches, period, because the Browns did his father dirty 50 years ago.

mike believes in continuity....   The better franchises in the league have had the same coach for a while.. 


Change can be Good.. constant change is never good.. Ask any browns fan. (but sometimes you gotta make the hard call)

while id be fine if they switched..... you normally dont hire a new head coach for only 1 year....  

Who knows ZT could be the next best thing since sliced bread... Eventually. im nervous cause this draft will make or break the next few years.

Very good point. This coaching staff had a late start on everything, even the Lou Anarumo hire. They had to learn this team and the players abilities, their attitudes, what makes them tick, etc. You just don't take your experience (or lack of experience) and walk into a locker room and change it. IMO it was a shit show of issues they walked into left by the Marvin Lewis era. And Mike holds a lot of the blame IMO. He was too loyal (and so was Marvin) to players more than winning. I don't mean that in a bad way because I care about players too. But if they aint performing, they got to go!

I mean drastically changing our 4-3 to a 3-4 is bound to have great results...

I sense your sarcasm?

Why change out to 3-4 from our 4-3 which has been bottom 3 in the NFL year past few years?????? 

I see nowhere going but up or we can just stay the same and be bottom 3 on defense again in 2020.

[Yojimbo]

Cabot is reporting he is on the short list of names being considered for Cleveland’s DC.

[Truck_1_0_1_]

Good.

1. Wade Ds have never done anything against us, IIRC.
2. They don't have the personnel for a 3-4 switch (imagine Garrett being a LB? feast on him in coverage).

Go ahead and do it, for all I care.

EDIT* It's funny actually; while the last truly dominant performance his D has had against us was in 2002 (as Atlanta's DC), his record against us as a HC or DC, is something like 13-0 (I maybe missed a few games).

Since 2000 at least, he's never lost to us.
