The roster is bad. Why fire the coordinator but not the coach or gm
Oof
lou was the one coach they should of kept, not his fault front office gave him has been free agents, that was a bad move… i mean who is really even out there to replace loU?
White people comments.
Lou = scapegoat. lost a lot of guys on defense due to being stingy and not knowing how to draft and who to keep. whoever hired Taylor should be fired and Taylor should as well. who takes a QB coach and makes him head coach when was never a coordinator? why? the Sean McVay factor? cost them the superbowl and the AFC title v KC two years ago.
let's see how much more it will cost them to sign Chase (who should win OPOY). they need to sign him and Tee.
poorly run team that has 3 of the best players in the leauge – one of the best QB's, the best WR (Chase) and one of the best defensive players (Trey Hendrickson).
Should’ve fired him midway through the season and the bengals would’ve been in the playoffs
lol they blamed arunimo for the coaches bad job
Bengals have 23 players moving on mostly defense so get a new defense coach and start over
It wasn’t Lou. It was the talent they gave him. They continue to let good talent out the door and draft very poorly to replace them.
Scapegoat, Blame deflection
This had to happen, but this is going to split the player talent on that defense WIDE open after Hendrickson’s comments the other night. Thank goodness, shake everything up finally
The Giants kept their Head Coach! Explain that to me.
How many times did Joe Burrow personally lose the ball ? 3 times in one game ! Every time the Bengals lost a one score game , Joe was partly to blame . The Defensive backs were getting good !
wow what a shame
Say it ain't so Lou Anarumo!!
Fire Zac Taylor
Hate to see “Loudini” go but it is the nature of the beast and we have to hold each and every position accountable(player or coach). With Joey Burrow we have to capitalize like NOW so yeah it’s sad but also a new opportunity to get better, and maybe make the playoffs next season 🤔
Bengals missing the playoffs is starting to become my favorite tradition 😊
That defense played fairly well in the last 5 games to get them into a playoff situation. When will they fire Zac for being an incompetent game clock manager and play caller?
They fired him after how well he just did against thr Steelers? That's ridiculous.
Burrows just got all his coaching staff fire and no one bats an eye. If this was lamar jackson or hurts people be throwing them under the bus. Burrow didnt play good enough in the first half of the year. What yall expect …
Lou never had a top 10 defense as DC in cinci
I hope the 49ers get Lou Anarumo their defense will become a championship caliber defense under him
It is insane when you hear those stats, #1 in passing receiving and sacks and not in the playoffs.
The Brown family is a disgrace, period.
This is BS! This wasn't Lou's fault that Mike Brown refuses to spend a single f'n dime on any player worth it salt from the o-line to defense. These morons just pissed away any chance to win anything while Burrow is still there.
Shoutout to the Bengals for not even being able to scapegoat the right guy! LMFAO!! This team is Cowboys level embarrassing from a ownership/front office standpoint…
This completely misses the point. The all-time season from Burrow was partly as a result of the defence being so poor. Burrow threw the most passes he's ever thrown because he was always in a hole and chasing the game. Had the defence been even remotely competent in the early part of the season they offence would have played differently.
They didn't invest in the defense the way a championship contender should. Letting Bates and Reader walk wasn't championship window roster construction.
Joe is the highest paid player in the NFL, they don't make the playoffs…😂
They need to put down the pipe and throw away the weed and get straight…😂
JT probably gives a good BJ to the owner
Blame pie for the Bengals this year goes like this :
GM 20% bc of players lost Bates, Reader, Awuzie, Contracts issues with Jamar and Tee
Lou & the defense : 50%
Zac : 20% bc of slow start and some coaching decision
Joe : 10% Loss to NE, fumble 6 vs Chiefs and Pitt, INT late vs Ravens
And before y’all snap Imma leave you with this
Joe all season in the first 3 Quarters : 31 TDs 6 Turnovers
In all the 4th Quarters : 12 TDs 9 Turnovers.
1:12 I agree. I really like Coach Lou. Crushed. 🐯
They never had a great defense 😂
Not an Bengals fan at all I hate them but go after these DC coaches Robert Saleh, Lovie Smith, Rex Ryan, Leslie Frazier
Can’t blame it all on Lou he had nobody to work with outside of Hendrickson
It was time
No one fears the Bengals defense! They were a joke that falls on Lou! We score 33 points a game and can't win! He had to go…
Bad move.
Taylor is the problem, not Lou. Lou is going to be a HC in a year or two, and he'll be a much better one than Zac.
They wouldn't have to move on from Lou if they didn't let all the good defensive players leave the last couple years. It wasn't his fault mostly, it was the ownership.
As a fan Lou was NOT the problem and anyone who watched the games realizes that. The problem is lack of talent and for a good portion was the inability to make tackles. No need to be scapegoating the DC after those 2 ravens losses and the KC game are what decided the season for us. If evan made that kick, we got that 2 pt conversion, and if that penalty didn’t bail KC out we'd be the AFC 3 seed going into the playoffs. It was a combination of not finishing close games along with extremely poor luck.
Hendrickson lead the league in sacks and that statement was cut at the end of the segment here. This league is just stacked against the defence so much they can’t be bothered to let Greeny even finish saying Hendrickson had a great year!
They don’t have any defense talent
We are going to start next year 5-0 and send a message that the slow starting bengals thing is over. I dont see how any other circumstance is possible, this has to be a HUGE wake up call for both Joe and the entire organization to stop procrastinating when it comes to the beginning of the year and signing players early. Imagine how much cheaper Jamar would have been before this season lol
