This is certainly true, but I think the reason it’s true is the consistency shown by both.
We know this is not a typical game from Burrow, we’ve seen him have bad games and bounce back.
Taylor’s play calling however, has been consistently suspect. Especially prevalent in tight game situations. He says in press conferences he’ll learn from them, but we haven’t seen it realized.
Also, Burrows skill has masked some of those questionable decisions as we were winning last year. So that’s also part of it.
I mean here’s the thing for me. Joe Burrow isn’t self unaware. He knows he played horrible. He was more frustrated than any of us and I truly believe that. I know we all know Joey is a private man and keeps himself out of the spotlight, however that presser was super telling and even tv pundits picked up on it, but I can tell you that dude probably didn’t sleep well last night and is ready for week 2. Joe is self aware and I still trust him. He had a bad game they all eventually have a bad game here and there. As long as he bounces back no worries. Zac is in what his 4th year as a head coach but always makes lame duck excuses for his errors and rarely takes the blame he should. There was a lot of game management errors on his part that a head coach who just came off a super bowl shouldn’t be making.
In conclusion Joe Burrow is probably going off next week while Zac, well we can expect more of the same.
Players making mistakes > a coach putting their players in a position to lose.
If you say “fire Zac Taylor” in the comments after every loss, you seriously are a donkey and you make me question if free speech was such a good idea after all.
You would seriously fire the first coach to win us a playoff game in 30 years, and not only that, take us to the Super Bowl, because of one bad game? Not even a bad game, some bad *calls*. A coach that is unanimously respected by the entire team? A coach that built basically the entire roster we have today?
Some of you literally think it’s as easy as just going out and getting a better coach. It’s fucking not. There are less great head coaches than there are quarterbacks. Coaches, like players, need time to develop. Zac haters will collectively forget about all the good things he has done, all the games he has won us, and the entire culture he has built, because they didn’t like a play call he made. People who have never coached football or likely even played the sport in their entire lives.
Joe Burrow is my favorite Bengal of all time. My favorite athlete of all time. A literal hero and role model of mine. That being said, I have no qualms criticizing him when he deserves it. Sometimes the blame really is on him. Even Joe would admit that. He played like fucking shit in the first half yesterday. Like, historically one of the worst performances by a quarterback *ever.* Fact of the matter is, if Joe doesn’t throw **FOUR FUCKING PICKS**, one of them a pick six, we aren’t in a position where Zac has to make the perfect call every single play. If you’re going to nitpick and criticize every decision our coach makes, you need to do it for our quarterback too.
Get off my fucking feed with your “fire Zac” bullshit. You are a fucking idiot, and in my opinion, not a true fan if you really believe that. Simple as that
I’m less worried about Joe getting better than I am Zac getting better as a coach.
Zac Taylor is the one calling the plays which lead to picks. Those are schemed interceptions and he should be throughly castigated for them.
Blame lies on both, but the late game decisions from Taylor are genuinely inexcusable. Also, would love if we moved on from him from a play calling stand point
Damn why do so many of you wanna cast out the best QB we’ve ever had after one bad game but you guys regularly forgive Zac Taylor’s incompetence
Whether Bengals or Reds I swear it’s inherently a Cincinnati trait to always blame the coach.
Or, how about this: they **both** made critical mistakes on Sunday.
It’s week 1, gentlemen. While that performance was concerning, this is a new season and we have to iron out the kinks. Remember that we lost to the Mike White led Jets last year and still were good enough to win the AFC. Yesterday showed that we were unprepared, but I have full confidence that we have the coaches and players capable of righting the ship. On to Dallas.

Every good play = good players.
Every bad play = bad playcalling.
Come on, this is Shitty Fan 101.
