You can’t fire the entire staff, no matter how much you’ll like it to happen.

He will smirk. He will act like this is no big deal.  He will act like everything is right on course for where he expected it to be.  He will say stuff like "we just need to keep working hard".  Don't get your hopes up for anything else.

And the Bengals still suck

@ Raiders
Vs. Steelers
Vs. Chargers
Vs. 49ers
@ Broncos
Vs. Ravens
Vs. Chiefs
@ Browns

One look at that schedule just emphasizes how devastating that Jets loss was last week. That Chicago loss doesn't look very good either.

You throw out the highest of the high and the lowest of the low and who are the Bengals? It's a hard look for some. Just not very good.

[JumboTron]

If any of you really believe a single coach, let alone ZT will be canned tonight, or at any point during the bye week you're just not living in reality.

I'm not saying it shouldn't. But it definitely won't.

Well, it's over. Glad I could jump into the thread and join into the negativity. Always nice to be called names and argue. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend off next week!

They're 4-3, by that metric.

True. Chase dropping a sure TD was the back breaker.

[CJD]

It's hard not to blame the coaching staff when a team implodes to this degree. But we have to remember this is a team that is ahead of schedule in their rebuild. Burrow has had some rough games with more interceptions than you want but he's a young QB who is playing better than (and had more put on his shoulders) than most QBs his age. Compare what he must do to win a game vs what Baker has to do. Where Burrow needs to create the plays to win, Baker just has to not screw up.

At the beginning of the season, I said I'd want the coaching staff fired if we have fewer than 8 wins, so it's not like the Bengals aren't meeting our expectations thus far. Showing as an elite team before regressing to the mean shouldn't be held against the team, in my opinion.

We probably aren't a playoff team this year but I think we may be next year.

I do wonder about the coaching staff though. History is not kind to coaching staffs that don't turn a team around in 3 years.

I liked the days where coaches would talk that real talk. Now it is all canned responses and PC tender comments. Or Belichick short and glum.

Chase and Tee critical drops. 2 missed tackles 1 busted coverage a really bad decison by Burrow. We are not that far off. All this is fixable with a competent coaching staff.

I apologize for the hostility but I didn’t call you any names. I did ask if you had a brain disease though, and I still stand by that question

Well, you know...that's what happens to The Caped Crusader on the reg, doesn't it? Just read the comics.   

BTW...who ARE you under that mask....oh, never mind....

Oh yea Zac will fix things

In a slump no doubt. This one was a gut punch.

I have Parkinson's,  yes. I was being truthful. 

All good. I get the negativity. I'm there with you. Didn't mean to make such a broad statement.
