  3. Points about Bengals coaching staff is on point. The trust in Tobin to put together a competent defensive roster is uninformed. Tobin trotted out this defensive roster when it was clearly a year that something special could happen on offense. EVERYONE knew before the season began that CB, DT and Edge was a problem. Nothing was done except throw in some unproven rookies and a washed up FA -DT Rankins in the mix. This front office/GM adjunct needs a change much more than the coaching staff.

  11. Zac Taylor should’ve been fired long time ago. Most accurate thing I heard was that his team is all FINESSE and no GRIT. It’s like a basketball team trying to play football. His flaws have just been hidden well due to Jamar, Joe, and Tee balling out these last few years. Both him and the GM have wasted prime opportunities for this team to make a run (had Joe on rookie contract and then Jamar… and wasted it both). In the AFC North you need TOUGH, not finesse

  12. Dude you are a idiot! Duke the fluke been there for over 25yrs. Only biggest hits he had was a QB and number one wr. Most they have picked were average to mediocre players. It's time for Brown to go a different direction. We cannot deal with another Marvin Lewis as a same suit worn over. Check your papers watch the games and interviews over again idiot!

  13. Cersei Blackburn and Mike Brown are running this team into the ground! They don't want to win games they want to win contract negotiations!!

  14. The Bengals have NOT been very good at drafting and developing under Tobin…at least in the last 4 years. Aside from no-brainer pics like Burrow and Chase who have they really drafted who has outperformed or turned into a good starter? Only in Cincinnati would a GM have lifetime employment the way Tobin does. To be fair, another problem could be Tobin‘s hands are also tied with regard to spending and roster management. The Brown fam seems to find ways to cheaply acquire as little talent as necessary rather than aggressively being committed to winning.

  15. You're smoking crack if you don't think the Bengals should fire Zac Taylor…absolute lunacy to think otherwise. He's lost the locker room, his strategies are 80% of the time entirely too risk adverse, his pre-season strategy is very passive and lackadaisical, and their pattern of slow starts to seasons is NOT the trademark of a championship team. Zac Taylor was a good transition coach, not a good championship coach. His record proves this. The Bengals success in previous seasons is due to the star players they have, not the coach, and certainly not the play calling.
