Front office is the problem. Tobin put a crap defense together for this season when we had a amazing shot at winning a super bowl this year(note how well the offense is playing and the strength of schedule). No money invested in significant defense upgrades or even keeping pieces that worked. This is on Tobin and whoever is telling him how much to spend. We are under CAP still today.
Yep, I don't blame Lou... Front office decided to replace Bates with Dax hill... They got that wrong, they let bell walk (that might have been the correct move) but the bring in nick scott who was trash... Then this year we bring back bell (when it's clear now, why Carolina cut him) and brought over stone (who's INT's were from Madebuka's pass rush in baltimore)... They let DJ reader walk and don't have a run stopper at all... Lou's hands have been tied he's coaching...
Every week after yet another loss, Zac minimizes by saying “we are x games into the season.” Followed by “this team is still going in the right direction” I wish someone would just be real.
Id say there’s a difference between the fan and coach/perspective. For us the sky is falling week to week. For a coach who’s lost on what’s often been last minute plays, you probably do go into it with the thought that things could be very different. I mean you literally pinpoint one play in the majority of the games where you’re like “if this outlier thing that happened goes differently, we’re talking about this team much differently.” Not to say Zac didn’t have some poor decisions, but this demeanor that we’re complaining about has also helped the team navigate difficult starts in the past.
The Bengals front office are not nimble enough to. make moves to upgrade the holes.. KC is much more nimble and does a better job. And I am a Bengals fan.
Agreed, I always thought we don't adjust fast enough, in game, during the season, etc. Being nimble is not a quality most old people have, or people with a billion dollars.
STOP making excuses for Zac Taylor. We as a fan base have given him as much grace as we can. HE WOULD NOT BE HEAD COACH AT ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION IN THIS LEAGUE. So how is it acceptable to have him as ours if we say we're a Super Bowl caliber team? "I'm comfortable with how it ended" speaking on his decision making at the end of the game? You are the ONLY person.
@@getbrainseeds And the players are his responsibility. The assignments get blown, He doesn’t make adjustments, he’s getting out coached man. He’s the boss. He should be held accountable. The first rule of leadership……..everything is your fault.
Running it three times in a row at the end of the game is unacceptable! He’s repeatedly done this in games when all we need is a FG and lost every time. Stay aggressive and play the way you played the rest of the game that got you a chance to win. The personal package shows the defense we are going to run and that’s why it doesn’t work. He’s lost us so many games over the years. Who’s held accountable?
My thing is …if the plan was to kick the fg. Why not kick it on 3rd down. In case if there is a bad snap. A bobble of the ball ect …U have 4th down to re try the kick
Your thang makes no sense because if you fall on a bad snap on 3rd down you are looking at a 65 yard field goal attempt. Zak should have let Joe throw it to get closer. You've got 3 downs to get closer, and he made zero effort because the run plays had no chance. If he was so confident, why did he call a time out before the kick. He played scared and that'll get you beat every time. Check his W-L.
He made a crucial decision …. Or I should say he is making crucial decisions based on what other players from other teams do, and have done, in previous games, sometimes years ago. Thats coaching scared my friends ZT make decisions based on your knowledge and confidence of your own players and you will find that your players will respect you and not judge you
this defense would look totally different if they had a run stopping d tackle / a saftey with speed / and edge rusher besides Trey. those should be the goals this off season, and not draft (you missed last couple years) sign free agents.
Unpopular opinion. The reason were 1-4 we can blame 1 loss on the defense and that Washington... We lost to New England because of off-season talk and Joe not performing.... We lost to the chiefs because of a Joe burrow turnover when we had the lead and a chance to put KC away with a 5+ min scoring drive in the 4th. And the same with the ravens. We were in the game because of joes performance. But at the end he has not closed games out. Hate on me all you want. He's played like an MVP up until the last 2 drives of the game then shits his pants.
The more I hear the thought process about kick, the more aggravated I get.....coaching/playing to not lose the game is not the same thing as coaching/playing to win the game! Especially when the call is to take the ball out of the one of the league's best quarterbacks who is cooking, and use a running game that is not. Prime example Tucker is one of the league's best kickers with an equally great range as Mac, but the Ravens took the shot to give him a bunny instead of settling for a 50 plus. I'm a huge fan of Zac, but if he refuses to abandon this scary shit, he has to at minimum not be in charge of play calling
If he would have let. Joe Burrow continues to pass that ball to Jamar Chase or t. Higgins for a touchdown. It wouldn't have been enough time for the Ravens to come back
He asked Taylor what he thought of Jamaar's route. I had to listen to it about ten times, it's the reporter with the Boston accent, and when he says Jamaar it always sounds like Jamah. Taylor is never going to make a negative comment about his playmakers. Apparently, Burrow doesn't think Jamaar ran a bad route either, he's still taking the blame for the interception. I'm not happy with Taylor's level of accountability, and I'm not happy with him not relinquishing play call to his OC Dan Pitcher, but Taylor is out here in front of the media, Duke Tobin and Anarumo are hiding in their offices.
I'm the only one that seems to not care about the 3 runs at the end, Evan can make that kick. We wouldn't be in the position if the defense played better, the offense did nearly everything right, the defense does nearly everything wrong. Is this not Lou's fault at ALL?
I love Zac as a person. But he’s on the hot seat. I believe his job is in jeopardy if he doesn’t turn this thing around quick. We need to win the next four minimum and that’s a very tall order
This dude could have kicked on 3rd down just in case there was a snap issue... you fall on it... A more seasoned coach understand situational football better...
So the team decided to run the ball 3 times in a row in OT? Instead of giving Joe burrow the ball? The guy who threw for 5 touchdowns and nearly 400 yards. He’s too conservative. I won’t blame every loss on him but Sundays loss to the ravens is 100% on Zac Taylor
Same dull answers every week!! No urgency at all !!! This team shld be sittin at 4-1 3-2 at worst !! This season is over due to Horrific coaching being unprepared and not taken anything seriously. This Franchise is a joke !! Good teams make moves before the trade deadline Bengals have done nothing in offseason and have no interest in winning a Super Bowl !!

@@Jcannon55true, but who is to blame for the difficult starts? Classic case of the arsenist putting out the fire.

Is Lou Anarumo required to do zero interviews in his contract?
Idk but he should be in front of the mic and be held accountable!
@@truckinpoppop6777 it's not lou's fault our players are too soft to make tackles thats on the players

He did one today with Dave Lapham on his podcast
@@truckinpoppop6777 Lou has had his defense outperforming their talent for years. I really don't think he's suddenly the problem

"Zac....any comment on your D that gave up 600 yards and 30 first downs?"
WE NEED TO TRADE FOR A DEFENSIVE DIFFERENCE MAKER, ASAP
there is none even available
@@getbrainseeds sure there are for the right price

Zac is comfortable.
Play to win.Play to your offensive strengths.
Bengals defense has to do better. But Zak Taylor needs fired.
He made a crucial decision …. Or I should say he is making crucial decisions based on what other players from other teams do, and have done, in previous games, sometimes years ago. Thats coaching scared my friends

The front office doesn't care about winning or losing, all it wants is a place people can gather to watch pro football live in Cincinnati.
Should’ve kept Bates.. SHITTY draft picks and a horrid front office. That window is closed for another 2 years at least
Robert Saleh just got canned. You’re next buddy
I blame Zac Taylor
I hate to say it but maybe letting Tee walk and investing in the defense might have been a better solution
Still supporting you, Zac…and Lou for that matter. You’re no Dave Shula…far from it.

Why do we act like we would have be fine if Burrow got sacked out of field goal range or if he threw a pick?

He put unnecessary pressure on the kicker and place holder. Not one passing play, just 3 straight running plays? Pathetic.
@@danielr4005 He was so confident, he called timeout instead of a pass.
If he would have let. Joe Burrow continues to pass that ball to Jamar Chase or t. Higgins for a touchdown. It wouldn't have been enough time for the Ravens to come back
we want you to leave bra.!!! first class out of here
What's the question asked at 8:50 ?

Forget getting as many yards as you can get as many touchdowns as you can😂
I'm the only one that seems to not care about the 3 runs at the end, Evan can make that kick. We wouldn't be in the position if the defense played better, the offense did nearly everything right, the defense does nearly everything wrong. Is this not Lou's fault at ALL?
Do you think the caliber of defensive players is on Lou or the ownership?
Tobin and Mike Brown are the BIGGEST culprits.
@@johnbach2380 agreed.
Ownership. Lou has been VERY clear about the personnel needs. He basically begged to keep Jessie Bates.
I love Zac as a person. But he’s on the hot seat. I believe his job is in jeopardy if he doesn’t turn this thing around quick. We need to win the next four minimum and that’s a very tall order
Lou is on a hotter seat, he needs to explain himself.
Once you’re on the Bengals staff, especially coaching you’re “TENURED.” The old man doesn’t FIRE coaches no matter what…Mike Brown aka “The Loser.”
@@elmallocwhat's there to explain? He's polishing turds. Front office should've paid Bates. And probably Reader.
This dude could have kicked on 3rd down just in case there was a snap issue... you fall on it... A more seasoned coach understand situational football better...
Never trust a Head coach with no facial hair😢
I hate too say it but Lou might be a tad overrated 👀👀💯💯💯 there’s a reason why he still hasn’t gotten a head coaching opportunity 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
every year the fams find a way to complain about something shut up... we lost move on
Ppl need to stop blaming Zach he ain't the reason we 1-4 it's the team effort not coaching
So the team decided to run the ball 3 times in a row in OT? Instead of giving Joe burrow the ball? The guy who threw for 5 touchdowns and nearly 400 yards. He’s too conservative. I won’t blame every loss on him but Sundays loss to the ravens is 100% on Zac Taylor
Zac is a poser and has no business being a HC or offensive play caller.
FIRE ZAC TAYLOR
This clown is wasting Burrow’s career!!!!!!!!

Wtf is the laughing about
I couldn't clearly hear the question. Would like to know what it was.
@@cafe-caliente8874I think the reporter followed up asking what he thought about jamars route ? Maybe it’s hard to hear like u said
Its still just a game😂😂 relax buddy😂😂😂
Hey you get another of Joe being 5-2 in playoffs. You have that. Baltimore laughing.
