I didn't watch the game because I had work at 4:30 am, but I wish I stayed up just to watch us win. I'm definitely happy we beat the Steelers. I'm wondering if this game will let Taylor keep his job, especially with all the excuses he can give. (Covid/no pre-season, Burrow getting hurt, ect)

Taylor was always going to keep his job. MB will give him 3 years. They already said he was hired as a developmental coach.

Also probly saddles us with Talyor and crew for another season.. I dont know if 1 win is worth that.
Like I said in a different thread, he was coming back more year regardless, so you might as well enjoy the heck out of the win.

how do we know that.... for sure?
This win could set us back a couple years if ZT doesnt magically get it year 3

For sure? We can't. But given the Browns have already said they hired Taylor knowing he was going to take time to develop, I'm confident he was getting at least 3 years.... especially with the injuries this team suffered this year.

So by necessity (because Finley is not good) ZT had to stay with the run. Learn anything ZT?
we will be passing 50 times next game lol... He didnt learn at the end of last year why would this one be different?

That just shows how horrible Zac really is. Horrible.

Yeah Finley only threw 8-9 times in the 1st half.
I will say, when the other team gives you a short field with turnovers, you dont have to throw. The fumbled snap and the gift int helped. We finished with 78 yards passing and 230 total yards.

I don't remember anyone saying that?
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Nope, I just remember reading it several times.... they said something along the lines that they knew and expected Taylor to take time

I don't remember reading that, but perhaps I did. I don't go to Bengals homepage like I used to. And I don't watch any press conferences, but I feel I would have remembered that being tweeted out by one of the beat writers if/when it was said. There are so many beat writers now though that one of them may have and I didn't see.

The Brown family was just shown that the Bengals can beat the mighty squeelers without BURROW, MIXON and half a game of BOYD in a prime time game against a playoff bound team.
They know they're onto something big with Zac.
