Bengals won by 14 after failing to score on 1st and goal, but then getting a pick 6 and later throwing a bomb to Chase. Defense finally gets to play with a lead. We'll see.
Zac provedaginst cards he can still call a good game

Bengals defense has gotten 13 turnovers in those two playoff runs of 7 games and yet the Bengals offense averaged only 22.4 points, with over 8 points per game of that 22.4 being McPherson's 19 FGs. That's not impressive for an offense with Burrow, Chase, Higgins, Boyd, and supposedly Mixon. Bengals were carried in the playoffs by defense (only allowing 18.9 points per game) and FGs (19/19). ____________________________________________________________

I thought the one thing the board agreed on was the defense has carried the team in the playoffs. Or at the very least the offense hasn't played up to it's potential. I don't even think there's an argument to be made otherwise. But for the sake of taking your post seriously and not just a post to disagree with me just for the sake of disagreeing with me, I didn't say Zac had to prove himself as a HC.

And as Paul Harvey used to say…. The rest of the story as we look at the last 2 years final 4 teams. The real story is this.

Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

Zac is what he is.
A guy with a lot of ideas, that is helped greatly by having a MVP level QB. I still cannot say he’s a great play caller because imo he isn’t but just because you aren’t overly Good at something doesn’t mean you suck. I don’t think we’ll ever lose a game solely on his playcalling but his playcalling doesn’t help the team as much as it should when you have this roster

I thought Zac called a pretty decent game against the Rams, given Burrow's limitations. Then, against the Titans, it all went to hell in a handbasket and that's with a week of Burrow getting healthier. So after what I, too, thought was a well-called game against the Cardinals it really is time for Zac to put together back to back positive games.

There's very few plays where I say to myself "wow he was schemed wide open" watching the Bengals. It's mostly "Wow, x player made a really good play". I've watched plenty of other teams and thought to myself the former way more often.

I say it's hard to judge Zac as a playcaller for 2 reasons: the playcaller-by-committee approach we use and we don't know every time Burrow changes the play on the field. I personally think we switch to 1 playcaller and sink or swim with him and if it's sink, we replace them. If that means Zac no longer calls plays, so be it.

Maybe if we get more of this Zac yesterday as opposed to the first 4. We win the North and maybe even win the SB this year. Playcallers are only as good as the execution of the players.

I'm glad Zac "proved it" to some board members.
