I hope Zac is taking notes.

Agree

Plus, do they look at rankings per position at all? Defenses weak on TE? We don't throw to TE. Defenses weak on run? We pass. WTF? I agree with you on this. So many ???

Yup

If the gameplan was good going in, we're fine. If not, uh oh there's very little to no ability to adjust in game.

Next week will be crucial and the Bengals are in a must-win situation. Going into Nevada and smoking the Oakland-Los Angeles-Anaheim-Los Angeles-Oakland-Las Vegas Raiders must happen to keep pace in the AFC playoff picture.

The Ravens play Da Bears. The Turds face the Lions. The Steelers play the Chargers. It looks like only Pittsburgh might face a real challenge.

Agree, the margin for error is decreasing.

I think the Bears will handle Lamar pretty well. Going to be closer game than some might think.

I don't think it's decreasing as much for the division. The Ravens are very shaky and jeckyll/hyde every week. The Browns are so injured, they may not be able to field a team by the end of the season (kidding, kind of) and they have Baker Maybefield, aka, Mr. Average (kidding, not at all) and the Steelers are smoke and mirrors like last year--they're just not a good team. 

Top to bottom, talent-wise and injury-wise, the Bengals have the best team in the division right now and they have an assload of games left at home.

I think someone pitched a new sitcom to the NFL and they bought it hook line and sinker.

I think you are finally seeing what some refer to as parody.

[Roland]

It's ok. It's all still in front them them. They're not panicking. Repeat: not panicking.

I'm happy they're not panicking. I'd just like to see a little more urgency around winning games that they should win.

I actually think all AFC north foes will lose next week... Pissburgh is completely overrated....

Lou Anarumo also deserves credit for throttling the Steelers’ offense.  

Now...

...what the BLEEP happened against the Jets and the Turds?  Buffalo knew what to do.  New England knew what to do.  Today the Jets and Browns scored a COMBINED 24 points.  Against the Bengals they scored a combined 68 points.  

Let that sink in.

Has to be horrible coaching...The Defense doesn't even make sense.... They were top now all the sudden bottom 5? It makes nonsense at all...

Jon Gruden for Offensive Coordinator!

Jon Gruden has one distinct qualification for the job: He’s highly offensive.

The best team currently but the worse coaching staff so it's a race to the finish.  May the team with the least amount of weaknesses win!

[WeezyBengal]

The Browns getting absolutely destroyed by a rookie QB and a roster that has similar/less talent than the Bengals is not a good look for ZT.

Sadly, that's 100% true.

I doubt Zac is taking notes, but probably is writing letters to Santa..

Dear Santa,

Purdy pleez let us win the rest of our games!

 Love,
 Zac!

Works every time..

Lol I get the hate on Zac based on the last two years, but just looking at this year respectively, I don’t get all the fuss. They’ve made great free agent moves, had a good draft, bested both Steelers and Ravens in their stadiums. Have a winning record. Right in the mix for the playoffs. I hope you guys are taking notes too.

We got outclassed and outcoached by one of the worst teams in the league (Jets). Even Zach said so himself.
