Why would Jamar or Tee play another snap this season? They’ve proven they deserve the bag. They should sit the rest of the season to protect their bodies.
I'm done. I've been done. I'm so fed up with this team. From Zac being a dumb as paste high school coach at times, to 18 of the 24 starters being completely terrible consistently. You don't lose 6 one score games in 7 losses without coaching being an issue. It's so infuriating. Yes, the defense is trash. Yes, the O-line interior is the worst in the league. Yes, personal is top heavy. But my God. Joe Burrow is at 27/4 td/int ratio and is staring down the barrel of a double digit loss season. Jamarr the ONLY WR IN THE LEAGUE over 1k yards at this point. Hendrickson leads the NFL in sacks, and we are dead in the water every single time on D. This is unacceptable. Fire someone. Anyone. I don't care. I don't want excuses or ho-hum propoganda this channel has put out for 2 years now. This team is sitting around a dead campfire in a blizzard, and all we've seen is these guys talk about how great the old fire used to be. Time to rebuild. Too many flaws. Too many shit coaches. 2021 and 2022 is just a burning memory. P.S- Even McPherson shouldn't be an NFL kicker right now on his form, and we signed him for long term premium money based off one off-season. Unreal. Pathetic. Dumb. Fix it.
I'd give MacPherson a pass. This has not been his best year. But kickers are funky lot. He's missed 2 40-50 yard field goals but he's 3-7 at 50 plus yards. There are plenty of kickers in the NFL who are worse than him. Hell Justin Tucker missed not one but 2 40-50 yard FGs against the Steelers. His stats are virtually identical to Mac's. When it goes bad it spreads and affects every player. The team has lost its mojo. I agree with the coaching assessment. Zac is not a good play caller. He wasnt even a playcaller when he came from the Rams.
Don't forget to add in James rapien needs to start calling out Cersei Blackburn instead of just saying "players need to play better" - how about not letting our best guys go
Coaching deserves some blame, but I think it’s pretty clear. The talent acquisition has been lacking for a few years. That falls in the hands of Duke Tobin. Of course we all know he has lifetime employment with the family.
@@marcusjenkins8980 Zac Taylor didn't miss those field goals, or run INTO 3 sacks like Burrow did, or miss throws or fail to show up for the first half of the game. He didn't not make the pass interference call when Tee's arm was being held and he didn't drop the first down catch like Chase to maintain possession and have a first down.
Said this the year of the superbowl... Burrow and chase has save this team from bad coaching by Zac...we got tto the SB inspite of zac... yes, def does have to play better but thr front office has gone cheap on rhe back end this def isn't the same guys.
please just tell the truth. The Front Office went cheap and it is costing us. We can't keep letting the front office off the hook. Not on the coaches, its on the FRONT FREAKING OFFICE AND OWNERSHIP. We have to stop buying tickets and supporting their nonsense.
Just spending money does not fix the problem. Spending money wisely does. I do not trust this team to fix the problem by throwing money at it. They don’t have the people that know how to construct a roster or hiring coaches. Front office lacks the need to win, they just kinda want to win, which isn’t nearly enough in this league.
It's not even that they "went cheap". They made bone headed decisions like letting DJ Reader walk (signed with Detroit for 2 yrs/ 20 mil) and signing Sheldon Rankins for 2 yrs/24 mil. In what world does it make sense to pay more to get worse. They're both aging veterans. It's not like they got younger. Rankins had a career game against the Bengals shitty interior OL last year and the Bengals scouting department thought "future hall of famer!" instead of realizing their guards are unathletic.
Rapien can you finally admit that the front office personnel moves and being cheap or missing entirely on the draft and FA are what put us in this hole
The kicker situation came back for sure. Dalton lost a lot of these games due to poor kicking. Our SB run was highlighted by McPherson making more kicks from 50+ than missing them.
@@sportsfisher9677 this is sorta true....however, Evan did such a great job in year 1 and 2 that I wonder what has caused the decline, could it be coaching? I haven't been a fan of Simmons for a long time and I wonder what he has done or said that has caused this situation. CTB was looking real good until this year, the injury could be to blame, but I am suspicious of the cornerbacks coach...not Lou as much, but the secondary coaches. The drafting can be chaulked up to scouts, especially when we take Myles Murphy.... But it isn't like Murphy wasn't a talented, if raw, pick... Why hasn't he developed?
At this point, I need burrow and Jamar to walk into mike browns office and demand change. It’s not fair and not their responsibility, but I don’t see any other way Brown makes significant change
As a Chargers fan, I hope you guys get healthy and can win some down the stretch. Way to good of a team to be 1-6 in one score games (more so 0-5 based on what you said about the Browns) GG's and travel safe
Any other NFL organization with this QB and that much talent would fire Zac and Duke on the spot, mid season, but not the Bengals… They could go 4-13 and no changes will be made other than token changes They are the most inept I have ever seen
Total team loss. Missed throws, dropped passes, missed blocks and tackles, blown coverages, missed kicks, coaching. Everyone blew it. Except Chase Brown. He had a solid game.
I'm just here to state it again for those who just can't seem to get it: This ridiculous offensive concept they run is foolish, limiting, cuts out 66%+ of your options, weakens the offensive line and leads to Burrow taking punishment. Stop it with the shotgun/empty offense or just keep doing the same insane things. I don't care if you throw for 350 and 3 TDs, that was basically the entire sum of your production and Burrow had to take a beating just to get it and still lose. This is one of the dumbest, least adaptable, infuriating and insane teams I've ever watched at any sport and it has been for years. Nobody mentions any of this and you don't even have to be particularly bright to see it. Just observant and be able to match shapes.
Coaching staff can’t get the team ready start the season. And can’t get the team ready to start games. You know what that means get a new coaching staff 💯💯💯
ok lets not get crazy. Justin Tucker of the Ravens (who will be a HOF) kicker has the same stats as Mac. Kickers are a funky lot. Plus he's always been a guy who will miss 5 or 6 FGs in a season. He has the talent and there are much worse kickers than him.
Dude Justin Tucker will be cut at the end of the season if he keeps playing the way he’s playing. He’s a HOFer but he hasn’t played like one for at least this season (last season too for those who were paying attention).
@@beny.1413 Dude the sky is falling too. He's still the most accurate FG kicker in history. last season he was at 86% but he also tries more long range kicks than most. His long is 66 yards, the record. I am not saying he's still the greatest just that he had a bad game. happens. If his percentages stay like they have been he'll be back for the Ravens. he's a career 68% kicker at 50 plus yards. Those guys dont grow on trees and he kicks outdoors not in a dome. Settle down.
I am reading rants from others now who are claiming to be done, fed up, whatever. I am one of those ranters. Been a Bengals fan practically since their inception in the late 1960s. None of that matters much just that it is a long time. If I can describe it one way I would say hoping for the best waiting for the failure. Was last evening's example any different? McPherson, God Love him, for the simple reason that he has in fact had success where the Bengals are still waiting for others to show those signs consistently. That list by the way is obvious to even the infant fan. Players who's names are never called over the course of a game that are NOT rookies any longer. I think we can agree the free agent class is nothing short of unspectacular to say the least. Moss on IR now only served to motivate what they already had in Chase Brown. Herbert is taking Chris Evans spot with Trayveon Williams at the bottom of the depth chart. How many years is he going to be there? That is just one example. Others include Rankin who flew to California I suppose, got sick, and couldn't play. The DL is less than stellar and MUCH worse without Hendrickson. The linebacking and now Wilson is starting to come under fire. The secondary, for a unit on the team, where so many draft picks have been exhausted in recent years, Jesse Bates couldn't save them anymore than he can save Atlanta. My honest opinion about the secondary overall, you can't teach speed and no matter what they do they are likely always going to be steps behind the opposing receivers, unless that team is Carolina or one of the other struggling teams who lack a franchise QB. This is typical Bungles front office blunders, watching Ravens-Steelers yesterday the subject came on how the Ravens signed Derrick Henry. Apparently he was out there and the Ravens, having given a ton of guaranteed money already to Lamar Jackson among other things, noticed with Harbaugh that Henry was still available and went out and got him. They got their man. The Bengals, Mikey and Dukey went out and grabbed Zack Moss and called it a day. They were basking in the glory of having signed Stone to fix their secondary, so they thought. Rankin, it was well known he would not replace Reader but what the heck, he is proving to be what fans, who care about the Bengals thought. Individual player comparisons always significantly pale in comparison to an organization not committed to it's team, it's fans, or it's city. The examples are endless including coaching. For years they promoted from within. 16 years of Marvin Lewis was not only reluctance to change but also a silly commitment to accepting continued failure while breaking down perceived racial barriers. Their is no racial barriers in coaching, Mike Tomlin is the best in the NFL and is right up with Andy Reid. Now the NFL and its Commissioner attacks NFL Owners because many are not a variety of different races. My point there is being given more than a fair opportunity to succeed when in fact the standard is and should be higher for all, including those ancient cheapskates apparently who think Paul Brown commitment and business like thinking works today. Dealing with player agents who make a living knowing who they represent and what their value is? The Bengals brass are either darn lucky or made to look like complete fools alongside their competitors. Signing Burrow to a long term deal was draft luck as well as a no brainer. Hendrickson is a current bargain that won't last. Higgins is gone so in a few they can admit they blew it again drafting Burton, and Chase could be next. What's next? Two more years of a three year Drew Sample deal? More guys revolving in on one year deals, Irv Smith, Mike Gesicki? Team has zero depth, what starts is lackluster at most positions out on that field, and the worst of it all is an organizations piss poor commitment. Folks that has decades of mistakes proving that and on-going. A bye week, in more ways than one, bye bye to another season.
I sent this last night I feel like the only teams that beat us this year is Washington and Philly. They said after the patriots game that the Mike Gesicki catch was a touchdown. They called pass interference on 4th and 17 on a uncatchable ball to help Kansas City beat us game is over if they don’t call that. We’re beating the ravens the entire game by double digits then we can’t play no more joe throws a pick then we run it THREE straight times and then fumbles the snap oh yeah the kicker missed kicks in like every loss. Joe gets hit late the ravens game no call, the ravens hold no call, and then for the two point conversion joe gets hit in the head no call in the second meeting between the ravens. Down by 21 to the chargers who have people from Xanadu at receiver but we play zone and they get open, Mike Hilton drops a pick, Joe burrow misses a walk in touchdown deep shot to chase, did I mention my kicker who they call money mac has no money and continues to miss kicks cut his ass. Trey Hendrickson has more sacks then the Atlanta Falcons defense as a whole but there winning. No one else on the team has more than 3 sacks. My free agent Geno stone is still getting paid by the ravens he plays like shit, my other free agent signing Sheldon rankins defensive tackle has 1 tackle for a loss the entire season. My coach don’t know how to call plays to get people open. My starting corner can Taylor-Britt talks more then he covers people and was benched tonight. Oh yeah Chase dropped a pass that would’ve made the field goal easier but he would’ve just missed anyway smh. Oh yeah second ravens meeting up 2 scores you don’t want to turn the ball over and chase brown fumbled, my third round pick wide receiver was inactive because he missed a Saturday walkthrough and last but not least Tee Higgins is hurt every other week. Okay I’m done goodnight
Playoffs??????? Man I’m not even mad at this pt. I already knew Evan was going to miss. And even if he did make it Herbert would have drove them down with a walk off. That’s just how this szn going. Get the scouts out to these last college games and schools. NEED to hit on this next draft
They haven’t hit on a draft on a whole in so long. And a draft can’t fix everything you have to combine that with trades and FA signings and Mike just refuses at every turn to do it
@ crazy part is that it’s literally people on RUclips doing free scouting. Yes I know they are amateurs but some are actually good. Just have to weed through. Shiddd if the bengals would have went with my picks from last draft we would have been good lol. I had 1.verse 2.Ad Mitchell 3.Payton Wilson 4.braelon Allen 5. Matt Lee . 6.Jaheim bell or culp 7. James Williams saftey
The way that defense looked so putrid, but Joe still found a way to claw them back in while getting massively hit, possibly concussed, and they still lose is sad, disappointing, and quite sickening.
I remember in the 2021 season Justin Herbert had 5,000 yards and 38 touchdowns (Burrow has never had those numbers) and they were saying Herbert " wasn't clutch, good enough, couldn't win, etc" blaming him for awful coaching and worst defense. I mean you have arguably the best receiver in the NFL in Jamar Chase and still can't win? The Bengals are "CHARGERING" ( Good team finds stupid ways to lose 😢)
Chargers are good not great? We’re 7-3 and have the best defense in ppg and top 5 in turnover diff. An elite QB, efficient offense, good receivers good backs, a top OT room what is great ?
Jermaine Burton is proving why he hasn’t seen the field. He looks like he’s just going through the motions out there. They need to cut him or Ja’Marr has to beat his ass.
The last 18 quarterbacks who lost their Super Bowl debut as a starter did not, or have not, returned. Their names are, in decscending order… Jalen Hurts Joe Burrow Jimmy Garoppolo (49ers, again) Jared Goff Matt Ryan Cam Newton Colin Kaepernick (49ers, again) Rex Grossman Matt Hasselbeck Donovan McNabb Jake Delhomme Rich Gannon Kerry Collins Steve McNair Chris Chandler Drew Bledsoe Neil O’Donnell Stan Humphries
Somewhere, in an alternate reality, the Bengals took the three 1st Rd picks in exchange for the first overall pick in 2020, took Justin Herbert and two other studs, and then wasted their careers.
Why would Burrow play another snap? He should tell the organization that he’s not taking the weekly beating until something changes drastically. I know that’s a pipe dream with this stupid organization. It all boils down to the front office.
I feel like margins are generally slim in NFL... if I remember correctly, during the Bengals Superbowl run, the defense and specials teams was lights out? Evan McPherson kicked three game-winning/walk-off field goals in hte playoffs... he's missed two opportunities to potentially ice games this year (1st ravens game, chargers game). Aside from McPherson, I feel like the team does not play complementary football (defense will play one good half and then melt down in the second, or vice versa); the secondary consistently looks lost and frequently out of position, and the offense is under pressure to score 30+ every game to win.
Criticizing Burrow and Chase for not making enough plays at the end of the game is just plain dumb, they managed to drag this husk of a team to come back from a three score lead and tied it. You can't expect your offense to get a touchdown every drive, the pathetic defense and garbage kicker need to do their jobs. That's the problem well besides coaching that's the biggest problem. Need to just tank and clear out everybody, the entire coaching stuff and Tobin. Of course they probably won't do that.
As great as they have been, it is totally fair to point out the shortcomings in the last 10 minutes of the game. TBH Burrow asked to be held accountable to that high of a standard when he signed his enormous contract, and Chase is trying to do the same. Obviously there are weak areas of the team and I'm not saying they aren't responsible as well, but in losses like these everyone gets scrutinized.
It's not dumb at all. One is your top paid player and the other is going to be your second top paid player. When you put that much money into 2 players you expect them to make those plays. End of discussion.
I’m just glad the abysmal season is over. This dysfunctional front office,along with a below average play callers is just not going to get it done with this team. The front office has put us here,and the coaches are not good enough to dig us out.
Not a single phase did enough to win tonight. Offense couldn’t finish the game with 4 minutes or less 3 separate times. Defense is consistently Swiss cheese and we can’t get 4 straight quarters out of them. Add two missed files goals and Trenton Irwin looking like slowest dude on the field and it’s mock draft szn. Who Dey
As a lifelong Bengals fan I would just like to see the team bench the starters... only to protect them from any injuries this year, and allow all the second team players to get some live experience the remainder of the season. Team leadership has to figure out what it's going to take to be able to get the Bengals to play competitive football in the very first game of the season and not take 2 months to warm up. I think it's time to bring in a new head coach.
#protestagainstowners and stop buying tickets for rest of season. Send a message bigtime. Maybe only thing that works. Have a empty stadium rest of season.
The organization was saved for a short time all because they just drafted chase and burrow. They are awful in every facet, this roster is bottom 5 in the NFL without them. So pathetic and hilarious they were so high on themselves after burrow dragged them into the Super Bowl with the worst O Line in the whole NFL
good podcast, I want to make one point:: when Jake mentioned the 2 passes bu Burrow in the 2nd half, he is right. However, instead of asking your elite players to be perfect how about demanding your mediocre ones to raise their games? Who's responsibility is that? the coaches and he mediocre players......we suk
Do you you remember the "no name defense" of the Miami Dolphins many years ago? Well how about calling our Bunglers' densive backfield guys- "the over the hill gang"?
oh momentum is def real and we stole it with the fumble by then and lost it with missed kick followed by another miss kick. it’s coaching tho , to be flat and just out of alignment time and time again…. So sick of it and it’s heart wrenching of course so doesn’t help. Pray for us 🙏🏻
They dug themselves in an early season hole,and just don’t have the roster depth to dig themselves out. The O line coach needs replaced,as well as the D coordinator. Start with finding an edge rusher opposite Trey Hendrickson,along with a nose tackle. Revamp the secondary and get a lock down veteran cornerback. On offense you have to replace the guard play. Volson is not a starter,and Cappa is struggling beyond belief! Once all these issues are addressed the team will start to play better on both sides of the ball.
Great line by James MONEY MAC IS BANKRUPT. Raise your hand if your one of us thousands of fans who texted someone that he was gonna MISS both kicks? The only MONEY is what we missed out on by not betting online real quick as it was unfolding in real time
They didn't make those last few plays to win the game, but if they had played just a little bit better in the first half, they wouldn't have had so little room for error. Basically the same theme of starting off the season 0 and 3.
D FENCE.. Don't let your best players go! We are about to do it to our offence! We need to pay Tee and Chase. Then try...TRY not to miss so much in the first 2 rounds of the draft. SIGH we are going 7-11
Tee Chase will be gone after this season for the simple fact Brown will not put up the money for them as far as coaching Taylor wont't be fired cause he is the cheapest paid coach and he won't go anywhere because he is cheap This team as much as i love them won't go anywhere as long as Brown owns them I'm 73 years old and same thing every season won't spend money and shocked they even paid out for Burrow but they were losing their fan base they had to do something
Their unwillingness to invest on high quality players on the interior line on both sides of the ball is infuriating. Also hanging on to all their draft picks to draft nothing more than special teamers is just beyond me at this point.
Money Mac has the yips. A few weeks ago we were saying you have a kicker use him. Now we know why they didn't. Our Tackles are fine once Orlando Brown is healthy. Kappa, Kara's, and Volson need to be replaced completely in the off season. And a lockdown corner. Zach is losing us games with calls late in the games.
You cant tell me Preston Smith Mike Williams and Xavien Howard wouldn't have helped us more than Andrew Coker Isaiah Williams and Gary Brightwell!!! Our roster building has been ATROCIOUS.
FO needs a big shake up, Duke needs to go unless ownership knows they got in the way with all these misses, if thats the case they need to completely recuse themselves of all football operations and start signing checks....if Duke hasnt been pushing that then he needs to be fired and we need to absolutely hire a compotent GM, with absolute GM responsibilities and authority. ZT probably needs to be fired....the only half measue is bringing in coordinators with their way of doing things and ZT hands over playcalling and authority to them...he needs to give up game planning too....which probably means just fire him. They should look to cut Evan too, at least explore if there can be an average kicker and savings, which are then used to stop letting good players walk. The sevond Higgins leaves, this O is incompetent despite massive talent The second Hendrickson is gone, they become a historical atrocious defense...thats not even accounting to Hilton probably leaving. Blow it up, rebuild with Chase and Burrow before its too late with them...if there is a change of keepong Higgins they should. If he ends up being anything but a top ten paid receiver elsewhere, we should have kept him too. Im done giving the Browns my money, i survived the 90s but might not survive now if they dont take immediate steps
Wait so they played like the season was on the line in 2nd half when indeed the season was on the line in the 2nd half. I've heard enough sign everybody to contract extensions. High playoff possible Superbowl expectations be damned. They fought hard for a half.
Rebuild the defense. Where is the safety help for some of these corners. It’s time to call the Geno Stone experiment another failure. I love Hubbard but I think it’s over. Same w Vonn.
The young guys better get all the playing time the rest of the year. CTB and Stone shouldn’t see the field ever again in a bengals uniform. McPherson has been awful but at least he can potentially fix his mindset and recover. The other guys are helpless.
Cant really blame the front office. They should expect better from this team. Major change should come when you expect to compete for a SB and miss the playoffs.
2 missed fg still lose by 1. If anything Chargers almost lost this one themselves. Herbert (uncharacteristically) missed wide open throws including 2 TDs to QJ.
Mike Brown is making money and his front office and coaching staff don’t and won’t question his methods. He is in control and that’s what he demands. He’s a happy and contented owner.
The Bengals needed draft Alex Reiner from Kentucky he's been perfect outside of a missed extra point that was a bad hold he also made extra point that was a bad hold idk how it went through
Just think how bad the defense is going to be when they lose Hendrickson. He’s going to get at least 30 million a year and they could have redone his deal for less. Can’t let good pass rushers go. Hard to find
Last night was the first time in the Joe Burrow era I stopped watching at halftime. It was over then. There has been ZERO evidence that this team can beat good teams down the stretch primarily due to HORRIBLE defense. Anarumo should be let go immediately and Cam Taylor Britt cut. Nothing will change when guys are sitting back making millions to lose with no consequences. Where's the accountability???
Everyone with eyes saw this team’s issues in both the offseason and before the trade deadline. The front office’s response was to trade for a third string running back at the deadline. If they aren’t going to take this season seriously, why should anyone else? Consider the season officially dead. I’ll check back in around draft time so they can begin the process of infuriating me again.
When Burrow got the ball back with 2 minutes left and the game tied, did anyone on earth believe that he would drive down for a TD? I certainly did not. He DISAPPEARS in big moments. Mahomes would have scored, Allen would have scored, Jackson would have scored, Stafford would have scored, Herbert DID score. This is why he IS NOT a top 5 QB. Sorry
I’m not sure if HBO is already filming for hard knocks but it would make sense for the distractions and lack of focus on this team kicker included. This season is just not their season. If I was front office I’d be calling Bill Belichick and seeing what it would take to get him to coach this team. The lack of focus is on the head coach and it shows every year at the start of the season. This year they just don’t have the talent at enough positions to make up for the bad plays.
We feeling the same about JT over here in Baltimore we lovem and all and he’s been very good for 12 years but he missed 2 FGs yesterday and if he makes one we win the game our defense played the best damn game all year didn’t allow one damn TD all game see Evan hasn’t put in the work Tucker has and haven’t won a Super Bowl like Tucker but the feeling in Baltimore is that it’s over for JT here
We may need to have a real conversation about what Burrow isn’t bringing to the table. It’s time to take the rose colored glasses off and admit his mistakes.
How is it we’re getting Tanner Hudson more involved than Gesicki?
Gesicki can't block. He's more a WR than TE. But you can definitely ask why Yoshi and Burton got more targets than him.
The Bengals have had hundreds of players and dozens of coaches and one owner. It starts at the top
And that's why anyone rooting for this team is truly only wasting their time
if you want to be a home town football fan in cincinnati, you gotta get over the owner/front office thing! its their team.
Why would Jamar or Tee play another snap this season? They’ve proven they deserve the bag. They should sit the rest of the season to protect their bodies.
Nobody wants to pay top dollar to a quitter, but they could definitely fake a pulled hammy
Tee ain’t played 3 full games yet that mf a bum
I agree I don't blame them for sitting
Tee higgens losing some money by being not healthy every year and this year didnt help his cause
Between a pee-wee league kicking game. And the other contract distractions, etc, this season. It's been a witches brew.
I'm done. I've been done. I'm so fed up with this team. From Zac being a dumb as paste high school coach at times, to 18 of the 24 starters being completely terrible consistently.
You don't lose 6 one score games in 7 losses without coaching being an issue. It's so infuriating. Yes, the defense is trash. Yes, the O-line interior is the worst in the league. Yes, personal is top heavy. But my God. Joe Burrow is at 27/4 td/int ratio and is staring down the barrel of a double digit loss season. Jamarr the ONLY WR IN THE LEAGUE over 1k yards at this point.
Hendrickson leads the NFL in sacks, and we are dead in the water every single time on D. This is unacceptable.
Fire someone. Anyone. I don't care. I don't want excuses or ho-hum propoganda this channel has put out for 2 years now.
This team is sitting around a dead campfire in a blizzard, and all we've seen is these guys talk about how great the old fire used to be.
Time to rebuild. Too many flaws. Too many shit coaches. 2021 and 2022 is just a burning memory.
P.S- Even McPherson shouldn't be an NFL kicker right now on his form, and we signed him for long term premium money based off one off-season.
Unreal. Pathetic. Dumb. Fix it.
Dude, that's a great rant. Nailed nearly everything wrong with this team at the moment. 👍
I'd give MacPherson a pass. This has not been his best year. But kickers are funky lot. He's missed 2 40-50 yard field goals but he's 3-7 at 50 plus yards. There are plenty of kickers in the NFL who are worse than him. Hell Justin Tucker missed not one but 2 40-50 yard FGs against the Steelers. His stats are virtually identical to Mac's. When it goes bad it spreads and affects every player. The team has lost its mojo.
I agree with the coaching assessment. Zac is not a good play caller. He wasnt even a playcaller when he came from the Rams.
See you next week... And season
Amen.
Don't forget to add in James rapien needs to start calling out Cersei Blackburn instead of just saying "players need to play better" - how about not letting our best guys go
I really think this is what happens when you have player friendly coaches instead of coaches that are hard on their players.
It’s coaching. We can’t keep dancing around the glaring issue. It’s also FO being extremely incompetent.
Yeah they make good halftime adjustments but they get so far behind in the beginning and the play calling at the end imo is atrocious
It’s the Front office in my opinion. They aren’t good enough in other areas. Other than Tre we have no pass rush.
Coaching deserves some blame, but I think it’s pretty clear. The talent acquisition has been lacking for a few years. That falls in the hands of Duke Tobin. Of course we all know he has lifetime employment with the family.
A FUCKING MEN! AMEN! TIRED OF ZACH TAYLOR GETTING A PASS!
@@marcusjenkins8980 Zac Taylor didn't miss those field goals, or run INTO 3 sacks like Burrow did, or miss throws or fail to show up for the first half of the game. He didn't not make the pass interference call when Tee's arm was being held and he didn't drop the first down catch like Chase to maintain possession and have a first down.
I see why Jermaine Burton isn’t getting more time. He quits on way too many balls.
Burton is a bust, I'm done with him
They need to get rid of him. Any player who runs a deep pattern and slows down at the end only to watch the ball go over his head--needs to go.
“Evan Loosechange”💀😂😂😂 3:27
Said this the year of the superbowl... Burrow and chase has save this team from bad coaching by Zac...we got tto the SB inspite of zac... yes, def does have to play better but thr front office has gone cheap on rhe back end this def isn't the same guys.
please just tell the truth. The Front Office went cheap and it is costing us. We can't keep letting the front office off the hook. Not on the coaches, its on the FRONT FREAKING OFFICE AND OWNERSHIP. We have to stop buying tickets and supporting their nonsense.
Asking them to criticize daddy Mike 😂 when Joe forces his way out I can’t wait to see the gaslighting they do
Force Joe out? Shit he's gonna be in a wheelchair before his contracts up.
Just spending money does not fix the problem. Spending money wisely does. I do not trust this team to fix the problem by throwing money at it. They don’t have the people that know how to construct a roster or hiring coaches. Front office lacks the need to win, they just kinda want to win, which isn’t nearly enough in this league.
It's not even that they "went cheap". They made bone headed decisions like letting DJ Reader walk (signed with Detroit for 2 yrs/ 20 mil) and signing Sheldon Rankins for 2 yrs/24 mil. In what world does it make sense to pay more to get worse. They're both aging veterans. It's not like they got younger. Rankins had a career game against the Bengals shitty interior OL last year and the Bengals scouting department thought "future hall of famer!" instead of realizing their guards are unathletic.
Joe had to take every penny 😞
Rapien can you finally admit that the front office personnel moves and being cheap or missing entirely on the draft and FA are what put us in this hole
Problem is no one has the heart to say anything pathetic I say. If Burrow would complain and stop bsing . Say something for goodness sake.
Change the nickname to Maybe Mac!!! Cost us multiple games this season
The kicker situation came back for sure. Dalton lost a lot of these games due to poor kicking.
Our SB run was highlighted by McPherson making more kicks from 50+ than missing them.
How about Bankrupt Mac?
Or Craps table Mac?
A big problem for this team the podcast says is no scouts, so the team misses on picks a lot.......a lot.
@@sportsfisher9677 this is sorta true....however, Evan did such a great job in year 1 and 2 that I wonder what has caused the decline, could it be coaching? I haven't been a fan of Simmons for a long time and I wonder what he has done or said that has caused this situation.
CTB was looking real good until this year, the injury could be to blame, but I am suspicious of the cornerbacks coach...not Lou as much, but the secondary coaches.
The drafting can be chaulked up to scouts, especially when we take Myles Murphy.... But it isn't like Murphy wasn't a talented, if raw, pick... Why hasn't he developed?
At this point, I need burrow and Jamar to walk into mike browns office and demand change. It’s not fair and not their responsibility, but I don’t see any other way Brown makes significant change
Burrow is getting beaten up. If I were Jamar I'd be looking for another team. Mike Brown ain't gonna change.
@@bones3142 the change to demand is of teams. One or both of them are going to do it eventually too
As a Chargers fan, I hope you guys get healthy and can win some down the stretch. Way to good of a team to be 1-6 in one score games (more so 0-5 based on what you said about the Browns)
GG's and travel safe
We don’t need to win any games down the stretch
@0831fabian nah I dont want yall getting a high pick lmao
Stopped watching at halftime last nite… IT WAS TIED 27-27 IN 4TH QUARTER AND THEY STILL FUCKING LOST!?!?
Same here. I was done at halftime.
@@nicks3596I was done before halftime, could see the writing on the wall!
And they missed two FGs while tied at 27.
Done with the absurd playoff talk...next, why we should NOT spend 20 million or more on ANY wide receivers
They never play four quarters! They are not physical enough. No screen passes against pressure again.
Any other NFL organization with this QB and that much talent would fire Zac and Duke on the spot, mid season, but not the Bengals… They could go 4-13 and no changes will be made other than token changes
They are the most inept I have ever seen
Total team loss. Missed throws, dropped passes, missed blocks and tackles, blown coverages, missed kicks, coaching. Everyone blew it. Except Chase Brown. He had a solid game.
Joe has to give up some of his money so Bengals can afford a defense!
I'm just here to state it again for those who just can't seem to get it: This ridiculous offensive concept they run is foolish, limiting, cuts out 66%+ of your options, weakens the offensive line and leads to Burrow taking punishment. Stop it with the shotgun/empty offense or just keep doing the same insane things. I don't care if you throw for 350 and 3 TDs, that was basically the entire sum of your production and Burrow had to take a beating just to get it and still lose.
This is one of the dumbest, least adaptable, infuriating and insane teams I've ever watched at any sport and it has been for years. Nobody mentions any of this and you don't even have to be particularly bright to see it. Just observant and be able to match shapes.
Yea it’s almost as if people would rather see Joe put up big numbers, instead of seeing an efficient offense
Coaching staff can’t get the team ready start the season. And can’t get the team ready to start games. You know what that means get a new coaching staff 💯💯💯
Time to sign a kicker ( Dee comes to mind) and make McPherson act like his job is actually on the line because it should be.
ok lets not get crazy. Justin Tucker of the Ravens (who will be a HOF) kicker has the same stats as Mac. Kickers are a funky lot. Plus he's always been a guy who will miss 5 or 6 FGs in a season. He has the talent and there are much worse kickers than him.
Dude Justin Tucker will be cut at the end of the season if he keeps playing the way he’s playing. He’s a HOFer but he hasn’t played like one for at least this season (last season too for those who were paying attention).
@@beny.1413 Dude the sky is falling too. He's still the most accurate FG kicker in history. last season he was at 86% but he also tries more long range kicks than most. His long is 66 yards, the record. I am not saying he's still the greatest just that he had a bad game. happens. If his percentages stay like they have been he'll be back for the Ravens. he's a career 68% kicker at 50 plus yards. Those guys dont grow on trees and he kicks outdoors not in a dome. Settle down.
They might win 2 ,3,maybe but what is that...we don't even have a kicker anymore 😢😮😢
That's for sure, do you think Zac is still saying he's putting his trust in his kicker?
Jermaine trying to catch that easy touchdown with one hand pissed me off. I’m so over that kid this season
Yall are just spoiled with talent. Chargers wrs routinely drop that. I'll give you the oline is below avg.
I am reading rants from others now who are claiming to be done, fed up, whatever. I am one of those ranters. Been a Bengals fan practically since their inception in the late 1960s. None of that matters much just that it is a long time. If I can describe it one way I would say hoping for the best waiting for the failure. Was last evening's example any different? McPherson, God Love him, for the simple reason that he has in fact had success where the Bengals are still waiting for others to show those signs consistently. That list by the way is obvious to even the infant fan. Players who's names are never called over the course of a game that are NOT rookies any longer. I think we can agree the free agent class is nothing short of unspectacular to say the least. Moss on IR now only served to motivate what they already had in Chase Brown. Herbert is taking Chris Evans spot with Trayveon Williams at the bottom of the depth chart. How many years is he going to be there? That is just one example. Others include Rankin who flew to California I suppose, got sick, and couldn't play. The DL is less than stellar and MUCH worse without Hendrickson. The linebacking and now Wilson is starting to come under fire. The secondary, for a unit on the team, where so many draft picks have been exhausted in recent years, Jesse Bates couldn't save them anymore than he can save Atlanta. My honest opinion about the secondary overall, you can't teach speed and no matter what they do they are likely always going to be steps behind the opposing receivers, unless that team is Carolina or one of the other struggling teams who lack a franchise QB. This is typical Bungles front office blunders, watching Ravens-Steelers yesterday the subject came on how the Ravens signed Derrick Henry. Apparently he was out there and the Ravens, having given a ton of guaranteed money already to Lamar Jackson among other things, noticed with Harbaugh that Henry was still available and went out and got him. They got their man. The Bengals, Mikey and Dukey went out and grabbed Zack Moss and called it a day. They were basking in the glory of having signed Stone to fix their secondary, so they thought. Rankin, it was well known he would not replace Reader but what the heck, he is proving to be what fans, who care about the Bengals thought. Individual player comparisons always significantly pale in comparison to an organization not committed to it's team, it's fans, or it's city. The examples are endless including coaching. For years they promoted from within. 16 years of Marvin Lewis was not only reluctance to change but also a silly commitment to accepting continued failure while breaking down perceived racial barriers. Their is no racial barriers in coaching, Mike Tomlin is the best in the NFL and is right up with Andy Reid. Now the NFL and its Commissioner attacks NFL Owners because many are not a variety of different races. My point there is being given more than a fair opportunity to succeed when in fact the standard is and should be higher for all, including those ancient cheapskates apparently who think Paul Brown commitment and business like thinking works today. Dealing with player agents who make a living knowing who they represent and what their value is? The Bengals brass are either darn lucky or made to look like complete fools alongside their competitors. Signing Burrow to a long term deal was draft luck as well as a no brainer. Hendrickson is a current bargain that won't last. Higgins is gone so in a few they can admit they blew it again drafting Burton, and Chase could be next. What's next? Two more years of a three year Drew Sample deal? More guys revolving in on one year deals, Irv Smith, Mike Gesicki? Team has zero depth, what starts is lackluster at most positions out on that field, and the worst of it all is an organizations piss poor commitment. Folks that has decades of mistakes proving that and on-going. A bye week, in more ways than one, bye bye to another season.
I read all of that and agree.
I sent this last night
I feel like the only teams that beat us this year is Washington and Philly.
They said after the patriots game that the Mike Gesicki catch was a touchdown.
They called pass interference on 4th and 17 on a uncatchable ball to help Kansas City beat us game is over if they don’t call that.
We’re beating the ravens the entire game by double digits then we can’t play no more joe throws a pick then we run it THREE straight times and then fumbles the snap oh yeah the kicker missed kicks in like every loss.
Joe gets hit late the ravens game no call, the ravens hold no call, and then for the two point conversion joe gets hit in the head no call in the second meeting between the ravens.
Down by 21 to the chargers who have people from Xanadu at receiver but we play zone and they get open, Mike Hilton drops a pick, Joe burrow misses a walk in touchdown deep shot to chase, did I mention my kicker who they call money mac has no money and continues to miss kicks cut his ass.
Trey Hendrickson has more sacks then the Atlanta Falcons defense as a whole but there winning. No one else on the team has more than 3 sacks. My free agent Geno stone is still getting paid by the ravens he plays like shit, my other free agent signing Sheldon rankins defensive tackle has 1 tackle for a loss the entire season. My coach don’t know how to call plays to get people open. My starting corner can Taylor-Britt talks more then he covers people and was benched tonight. Oh yeah Chase dropped a pass that would’ve made the field goal easier but he would’ve just missed anyway smh. Oh yeah second ravens meeting up 2 scores you don’t want to turn the ball over and chase brown fumbled, my third round pick wide receiver was inactive because he missed a Saturday walkthrough and last but not least Tee Higgins is hurt every other week. Okay I’m done goodnight
Playoffs??????? Man I’m not even mad at this pt. I already knew Evan was going to miss. And even if he did make it Herbert would have drove them down with a walk off. That’s just how this szn going. Get the scouts out to these last college games and schools. NEED to hit on this next draft
They haven’t hit on a draft on a whole in so long. And a draft can’t fix everything you have to combine that with trades and FA signings and Mike just refuses at every turn to do it
@ crazy part is that it’s literally people on RUclips doing free scouting. Yes I know they are amateurs but some are actually good. Just have to weed through. Shiddd if the bengals would have went with my picks from last draft we would have been good lol. I had 1.verse 2.Ad Mitchell 3.Payton Wilson 4.braelon Allen 5. Matt Lee . 6.Jaheim bell or culp 7. James Williams saftey
The way that defense looked so putrid, but Joe still found a way to claw them back in while getting massively hit, possibly concussed, and they still lose is sad, disappointing, and quite sickening.
I remember in the 2021 season Justin Herbert had 5,000 yards and 38 touchdowns (Burrow has never had those numbers) and they were saying Herbert " wasn't clutch, good enough, couldn't win, etc" blaming him for awful coaching and worst defense. I mean you have arguably the best receiver in the NFL in Jamar Chase and still can't win?
The Bengals are "CHARGERING" ( Good team finds stupid ways to lose 😢)
Chargers are good not great? We’re 7-3 and have the best defense in ppg and top 5 in turnover diff. An elite QB, efficient offense, good receivers good backs, a top OT room
what is great ?
Jermaine Burton is proving why he hasn’t seen the field. He looks like he’s just going through the motions out there. They need to cut him or Ja’Marr has to beat his ass.
The last 18 quarterbacks who lost their Super Bowl debut as a starter did not, or have not, returned. Their names are, in decscending order…
Jalen Hurts
Joe Burrow
Jimmy Garoppolo (49ers, again)
Jared Goff
Matt Ryan
Cam Newton
Colin Kaepernick (49ers, again)
Rex Grossman
Matt Hasselbeck
Donovan McNabb
Jake Delhomme
Rich Gannon
Kerry Collins
Steve McNair
Chris Chandler
Drew Bledsoe
Neil O’Donnell
Stan Humphries
Dan Marino and Brock Purdy also
Goff might get back
Don't forget Dan Marineo he never made it back to the SB, after his debut
MI
That Burton kid needs to quit stopping on routes and start using 2 hands. This isnt college everyone is really good.
I turned the game off in the 2nd quarter and went to bed. I'm so glad that I did.
Somewhere, in an alternate reality, the Bengals took the three 1st Rd picks in exchange for the first overall pick in 2020, took Justin Herbert and two other studs, and then wasted their careers.
Mike Brown knows because of his age the window of opportunity to hold the Superbowl trophy is closing !
It comes down to up front on both sides of the ball. Not sure if its all personnel or coaching or both.
Why would Burrow play another snap? He should tell the organization that he’s not taking the weekly beating until something changes drastically. I know that’s a pipe dream with this stupid organization. It all boils down to the front office.
I feel like margins are generally slim in NFL... if I remember correctly, during the Bengals Superbowl run, the defense and specials teams was lights out? Evan McPherson kicked three game-winning/walk-off field goals in hte playoffs... he's missed two opportunities to potentially ice games this year (1st ravens game, chargers game). Aside from McPherson, I feel like the team does not play complementary football (defense will play one good half and then melt down in the second, or vice versa); the secondary consistently looks lost and frequently out of position, and the offense is under pressure to score 30+ every game to win.
Our Bengals are the Bungles this season😢
Bengals need to change the entire coaching staff
I think Pitch is fine, the rest tho...
Charger 's dress up go war ; not go to Hollywood !!
Criticizing Burrow and Chase for not making enough plays at the end of the game is just plain dumb, they managed to drag this husk of a team to come back from a three score lead and tied it. You can't expect your offense to get a touchdown every drive, the pathetic defense and garbage kicker need to do their jobs. That's the problem well besides coaching that's the biggest problem. Need to just tank and clear out everybody, the entire coaching stuff and Tobin. Of course they probably won't do that.
As great as they have been, it is totally fair to point out the shortcomings in the last 10 minutes of the game. TBH Burrow asked to be held accountable to that high of a standard when he signed his enormous contract, and Chase is trying to do the same.
Obviously there are weak areas of the team and I'm not saying they aren't responsible as well, but in losses like these everyone gets scrutinized.
It's not dumb at all. One is your top paid player and the other is going to be your second top paid player. When you put that much money into 2 players you expect them to make those plays. End of discussion.
They need a big time TE like a Gronk.
Eric All is sorely missed on OF
I actually covered my eyes when he kicked and he still missed
I’m just glad the abysmal season is over. This dysfunctional front office,along with a below average play callers is just not going to get it done with this team. The front office has put us here,and the coaches are not good enough to dig us out.
Not a single phase did enough to win tonight. Offense couldn’t finish the game with 4 minutes or less 3 separate times. Defense is consistently Swiss cheese and we can’t get 4 straight quarters out of them. Add two missed files goals and Trenton Irwin looking like slowest dude on the field and it’s mock draft szn. Who Dey
As a lifelong Bengals fan I would just like to see the team bench the starters... only to protect them from any injuries this year, and allow all the second team players to get some live experience the remainder of the season. Team leadership has to figure out what it's going to take to be able to get the Bengals to play competitive football in the very first game of the season and not take 2 months to warm up. I think it's time to bring in a new head coach.
I agree but it won't happen. Joe will insist on playing and Chase and Higgins will follow
#protestagainstowners and stop buying tickets for rest of season. Send a message bigtime. Maybe only thing that works. Have a empty stadium rest of season.
The organization was saved for a short time all because they just drafted chase and burrow. They are awful in every facet, this roster is bottom 5 in the NFL without them.
So pathetic and hilarious they were so high on themselves after burrow dragged them into the Super Bowl with the worst O Line in the whole NFL
You shouldn’t put yourself in that position at halftime. Never felt like they were going to win, even when they tied it up.
good podcast, I want to make one point::
when Jake mentioned the 2 passes bu Burrow in
the 2nd half, he is right. However, instead of asking
your elite players to be perfect how about demanding
your mediocre ones to raise their games?
Who's responsibility is that? the coaches and he
mediocre players......we suk
Do you you remember the "no name defense" of the Miami Dolphins many years ago? Well how about calling our Bunglers' densive backfield guys- "the over the hill gang"?
at least half a dozen players that used to play at sb level that now are questionable as starters. that isn’t coincidence. has to be coaching
oh momentum is def real and we stole it with the fumble by then and lost it with missed kick followed by another miss kick. it’s coaching tho , to be flat and just out of alignment time and time again…. So sick of it and it’s heart wrenching of course so doesn’t help. Pray for us 🙏🏻
Momentum is definitely real.
They dug themselves in an early season hole,and just don’t have the roster depth to dig themselves out. The O line coach needs replaced,as well as the D coordinator. Start with finding an edge rusher opposite Trey Hendrickson,along with a nose tackle. Revamp the secondary and get a lock down veteran cornerback. On offense you have to replace the guard play. Volson is not a starter,and Cappa is struggling beyond belief! Once all these issues are addressed the team will start to play better on both sides of the ball.
WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE IF WE TRADED QB'S, HERBERT WITH CHASE AND HIGGINS, BURROW WITH QJ AND LADD: LOB THROWS=JOE AND LASER THROWS JUSTIN
Great line by James MONEY MAC IS BANKRUPT. Raise your hand if your one of us thousands of fans who texted someone that he was gonna MISS both kicks? The only MONEY is what we missed out on by not betting online real quick as it was unfolding in real time
They didn't make those last few plays to win the game, but if they had played just a little bit better in the first half, they wouldn't have had so little room for error. Basically the same theme of starting off the season 0 and 3.
Evan McPherson needs to earn the name "Money Mac" again
Joe Burrow is NOT clutch
Tucker missed 2 FG in a loss sunday against the Steelers !
D FENCE.. Don't let your best players go! We are about to do it to our offence! We need to pay Tee and Chase. Then try...TRY not to miss so much in the first 2 rounds of the draft. SIGH we are going 7-11
Tee Chase will be gone after this season for the simple fact Brown will not put up the money for them as far as coaching Taylor wont't be fired cause he is the cheapest paid coach and he won't go anywhere because he is cheap This team as much as i love them won't go anywhere as long as Brown owns them I'm 73 years old and same thing every season won't spend money and shocked they even paid out for Burrow but they were losing their fan base they had to do something
Their unwillingness to invest on high quality players on the interior line on both sides of the ball is infuriating. Also hanging on to all their draft picks to draft nothing more than special teamers is just beyond me at this point.
Money Mac has the yips. A few weeks ago we were saying you have a kicker use him. Now we know why they didn't. Our Tackles are fine once Orlando Brown is healthy. Kappa, Kara's, and Volson need to be replaced completely in the off season. And a lockdown corner. Zach is losing us games with calls late in the games.
Higgins and Chase are elite. Burrow is a top QB. But when you pair a Herbert with a Harbaugh..well that's "otherwordly".
You cant tell me Preston Smith Mike Williams and Xavien Howard wouldn't have helped us more than Andrew Coker Isaiah Williams and Gary Brightwell!!! Our roster building has been ATROCIOUS.
what a mess is the Bengals and first half Joe was short compare to Herbert. Sad what money and fame does to NFL players and coaches,
FO needs a big shake up, Duke needs to go unless ownership knows they got in the way with all these misses, if thats the case they need to completely recuse themselves of all football operations and start signing checks....if Duke hasnt been pushing that then he needs to be fired and we need to absolutely hire a compotent GM, with absolute GM responsibilities and authority.
ZT probably needs to be fired....the only half measue is bringing in coordinators with their way of doing things and ZT hands over playcalling and authority to them...he needs to give up game planning too....which probably means just fire him.
They should look to cut Evan too, at least explore if there can be an average kicker and savings, which are then used to stop letting good players walk.
The sevond Higgins leaves, this O is incompetent despite massive talent
The second Hendrickson is gone, they become a historical atrocious defense...thats not even accounting to Hilton probably leaving.
Blow it up, rebuild with Chase and Burrow before its too late with them...if there is a change of keepong Higgins they should. If he ends up being anything but a top ten paid receiver elsewhere, we should have kept him too.
Im done giving the Browns my money, i survived the 90s but might not survive now if they dont take immediate steps
Wait so they played like the season was on the line in 2nd half when indeed the season was on the line in the 2nd half. I've heard enough sign everybody to contract extensions. High playoff possible Superbowl expectations be damned. They fought hard for a half.
D for disappointing not Done.
Growing Pains.
It is over for Bengals. They suck man.
I knew that when they lost the four games.
Rebuild the defense. Where is the safety help for some of these corners. It’s time to call the Geno Stone experiment another failure. I love Hubbard but I think it’s over. Same w Vonn.
Like I said that ya can say what ya want to say but I believe that we can still make the playoffs at 10-7 six in a row watch and see
Money Mac hasn't been the same since we changed his holder. That's a fact.
We seem to have two HC. Can only have one. I smell some devided with Joe and Zac. Say Who Dey Anyway. Press on!
The young guys better get all the playing time the rest of the year. CTB and Stone shouldn’t see the field ever again in a bengals uniform. McPherson has been awful but at least he can potentially fix his mindset and recover. The other guys are helpless.
Cant really blame the front office. They should expect better from this team. Major change should come when you expect to compete for a SB and miss the playoffs.
Shank Mac would be more fitting. Missed FG'S exactly the same. Come on man. Bring in guys for try out on the off week
2 missed fg still lose by 1. If anything Chargers almost lost this one themselves. Herbert (uncharacteristically) missed wide open throws including 2 TDs to QJ.
Was Mike gezeki hurt because his name was not called all night especially in the red zone. Cant he do more for this team.
chase brown is good he is a rb 1 and we need to run more
Ownership must be willing to keep key players and not lose them in free agency.
always been since 91'
Mike Brown is making money and his front office and coaching staff don’t and won’t question his methods. He is in control and that’s what he demands. He’s a happy and contented owner.
The Bengals needed draft Alex Reiner from Kentucky he's been perfect outside of a missed extra point that was a bad hold he also made extra point that was a bad hold idk how it went through
Just think how bad the defense is going to be when they lose Hendrickson. He’s going to get at least 30 million a year and they could have redone his deal for less. Can’t let good pass rushers go. Hard to find
I'll tell you what to lock on to! The Bengals had better get a head coach and copy whatever the Steelers are doing! Defense and coaching.
Last night was the first time in the Joe Burrow era I stopped watching at halftime. It was over then. There has been ZERO evidence that this team can beat good teams down the stretch primarily due to HORRIBLE defense. Anarumo should be let go immediately and Cam Taylor Britt cut. Nothing will change when guys are sitting back making millions to lose with no consequences. Where's the accountability???
Everyone with eyes saw this team’s issues in both the offseason and before the trade deadline. The front office’s response was to trade for a third string running back at the deadline. If they aren’t going to take this season seriously, why should anyone else? Consider the season officially dead. I’ll check back in around draft time so they can begin the process of infuriating me again.
Great run play calling zac...just pound Chase Brown straight up the middle of a no open hole line of scrimmage, real basic play calling coach!
Should have never let Bates leave. And they need to draft better or play the young guys now.
When Burrow got the ball back with 2 minutes left and the game tied, did anyone on earth believe that he would drive down for a TD? I certainly did not. He DISAPPEARS in big moments.
Mahomes would have scored, Allen would have scored, Jackson would have scored, Stafford would have scored, Herbert DID score. This is why he IS NOT a top 5 QB. Sorry
Leadership starts at the top . Fire Taylor and the DC after the season
This has to be some sort of curse. 🤣 It has to.
Need Coaching changes and might win 2 more games this season if lucky!
I’m not sure if HBO is already filming for hard knocks but it would make sense for the distractions and lack of focus on this team kicker included. This season is just not their season. If I was front office I’d be calling Bill Belichick and seeing what it would take to get him to coach this team. The lack of focus is on the head coach and it shows every year at the start of the season. This year they just don’t have the talent at enough positions to make up for the bad plays.
Bills not answering because he's been around the league for too long to work for a penny pincher. End of story. Doubt vrabel takes the call as well
We feeling the same about JT over here in Baltimore we lovem and all and he’s been very good for 12 years but he missed 2 FGs yesterday and if he makes one we win the game our defense played the best damn game all year didn’t allow one damn TD all game see Evan hasn’t put in the work Tucker has and haven’t won a Super Bowl like Tucker but the feeling in Baltimore is that it’s over for JT here
We may need to have a real conversation about what Burrow isn’t bringing to the table. It’s time to take the rose colored glasses off and admit his mistakes.
