I've gotta hand it to the guy...he's the best BSer in the game.

all we are missing are the press conference giggles.....

[Gdale_Bengal]

Most of those are right. I’d rather him say they are pisses at losing to Pittsburgh, but he probably can’t say that.

[Wes Mantooth]

This dude should be selling Kirby vacuums door to door by this time next year.

[Nicomo Cosca]

I don’t really care what he says. Actions speak louder than words. Start winning some damn games.

[Rubekahn29]

Its all about the record. You wouldn't be saying this if we were 6-3. He no longer gets the benefit of the doubt. Words mean nothing at this point.

Yea uncle Rico! hes gonna throw that football over a mountain and beat the team with no name! ....Its the annual death spiral we are all accustomed to and expect . This guy should be looking at Starbucks Manager opportunities by next yr. I think he would be great at that . His personality does not exude "SMASHMOUTH" style football which is what AFC North is all about. This whole thing about bringing the Rams offense over was BS and he conned Katy maybe cause she thought he was cute who knows?. We should have been looking to bring in Steeler/Ravens coaches and their scouts that could have taught Katy and Co what it takes to build a successful and durable blue print year in and year out.  

[motoarch]

What else is he supposed to say?

I probably say the same thing in his position.

Nothing he say to the press is going to change what happens on the field.

I not defending the fact that his tenure has been a failure but who cares about what he's saying unless it's actively hurting the team.

Look back at what what the coaches were saying in Cleveland with hue jackson. That was problematic and probably had more to do with his firing than his record.

In McVay's system, the RB was a focal point of the offense.

In the two years that Taylor was in LA, here were Gurley's stats:
2017 - 279 rush attempts, 1305 ruYds, 13 ruTDs, 64 receptions, 788 recYds, 6 recTDs
2018 - 256 rush attempts, 1251 ruYds, 17 ruTDs, 59 receptions, 580 recYds, 4 recTDs

We looked like we were on track for that last season, as Mixon had over 300 touches and 1400+ yards from scrimmage, but this year we are more pass-focused (I assume because of Burrow). 

The RBs are used more in the passing game this year compared to last, on pace for 87+ receptions and 600+ receiving yards between Mixon and Bernard. Last year, Mixon + Bernard had 65 receptions and 521 yards.

If the Bengals want to use the RB like McVay did, they need to improve the run blocking, as we know Mixon can churn out good yards if he has even adequate blocking.

Those six games alone can get you into the post-season. This dude ***** sucks.

What if you lose all of them?  Can you dwell on that?

When is the growing gonna start ?

He was pretty honest right after the game:

"No chance. You lose the turnover battle, especially early on. We got a big stop on defense to start the game and then turned it over and started to get some momentum on offense at that point, turned it over. Those were killers in the first half, and then to go 0 for 13 or whatever it ended up being on offense, you're not going to -- you've got no chance. There's no chance.

We were not good enough in any area today, offense, defense, special teams, and we really weren't good enough coaching, and that is with me 100 percent. I feel like I let these guys down today, so it all starts with me."

Yeah, this coming after a bye and 2/3 of your team is flat and not in the game really got under my skin. I honestly thought Burrow wouldn’t let his team be as flat as they were to start, or he would say something to keep there heads focused, but he didn’t or it didn’t help. Spot any team 2 turnovers and 12 points and you’re going to lose, especially to a division rival and most especially to an undefeated team.

I didn't see them come out flat.

The defense stopped them on drive one.

Then Erickson....

Then the defense holds them to three.

Then fumble on a completed pass kills the drive.

This was a game at the half, the late hit on Burrow out of bounds, clearly impacted his play in the 2nd half. And the turnovers made it look like everyone was pressing and trying to not make a mistake instead of just playing naturally. This leads to the offense struggling and the defense being worn out.

[TecmoBengals]

I'm amazed at how poised he can remain when spewing his words. I wonder if he sincerely believes what he's saying or he's just an effective liar.

This guy would kill it as an announcer. He is believable in his bs and knows it all. Just ask him.

[bengals67]

After 30 years isn't it time to hire coaches and personnel gurus with successful track records ,who know what they are doing, and put them in charge ????

In what world would any of the people who post here- if they owned the Bengals- would have a once in a generation chance to  draft Joe Burrow and then waste his career by keeping the coaches and personnel staff who have brought us the current debacle.

11 straight loses to the Steelers with the games getting even more lopsided the wrong way in a league that allegedly gives losing teams better draft opportunities than winning teams.
