Thanks for clearly articulating how insane this move feels…hard to square this with the Flacco add where the team is obviously trying to win.

It feels like a medieval disease. Toddler got it from the Ohare airport play area nearly a decade ago. I can only assume they haven’t evolved treatments for it because its damage isn’t permanent but hoo boy.

Devastating piece. Too often (not here), Taylor is reduced to a bystander. This year it’s, “Joe wants to play this way,” and last year it’s “he doesn’t coach the defense, his unit is fine.” He theoretically coaches the whole team- part of his job is to keep clean. He’s failed, abjectly.

Seasons over; Zac Taylor should resign. He and the front office have failed at their #1 job of protecting Joe.

Zac Taylor is an abomination of a coach and does better with a mid QB than a great one. He and the front offense deserve massive scorn for not figuring out how to protect Joe. The opposing coach gave him a victory two weeks in a row.

It doesn’t seem that the bengals gained too much here? $500k and keep a well-liked guy but one of the worst performers at his position rather than using this money to upgrade the position?

“His rib just did that,” the refs and mls, probably. Enraging that there wasn’t punishment here.

This team is so far beyond lineup construction being a salient issue. It would be helpful if Tito had players who could hit at any spot in the lineup besides Elly.

Maybe then they could have changed that Baltimore Miami game? Why are the Bengals the ones to always get screwed by interdependencies?

You’re in a better place, even if you’re getting rained on. Reds broadcast spending the delay on segments “discussing the shared history between the franchises,” which is mostly praise for Yadi.

The bengals hate their fans and don’t care if Joe is protected.
