Beer is God's proof that he loves us.
At least JK Dobbins got over 100 yards rushing.

I don't think the team will stand pat with Jake Browning. Chase and Higgins will start chirping if this lack of production continues.

I'm all for hiring a new HC. But sadly, that won't change what's fundamentally wrong.
Its not Zac Taylor that refuses to expand the scouting dept.
Its not Zac Taylor that refuses to spend money on top tier free agents.
And it's not Zac Taylor that negotiates contracts.
That's all on the ownership. And as i've said repeatedly over the years, it's not going to substantially change once SoP has passed.
The Bengals are who we know they are. Wyche tried to change things and they let him go. Carson Palmer tried to get them to change and they let him sit out and then traded him.
Ownership allowed Dave Shula to run the team into the ground for nearly a decade before they acted. Nothings going to change till and unless the fans act. When they stop going to games, buying merchandise and concessions, etc... Ownership "might" act.
But even then, it won't be much more than just shuffling chairs on the Titanic.

Well, I suspect that both Zac Taylor and Brian Callahan will be available following the season (if someone wants to bring the band back together).
Hilariously, if he wants to return to college, someone like UCLA would hire Zac Taylor I'd imagine.

The massive TV media rights deal means that 0 fans can show up to Paycor and the Brown family can still several hundred million a year. There is no incentive for Brown to try at this point. And he knows the fans will never not show up. Everyone in Cincy has talked about the Bengals all day, sure its for negative reasons, but they're talking. And the excuse at the back of the minds of most is, "what if Burrow was playing", and they all know it. Brown offers hope, and that's enough to keep butts in seats and eyes on TVs.
The Brown family will NEVER sell the team, they are literally royalty to the sport due to Paul Brown. Mike is and will always be cheap, that's why Taylor is going nowhere. I'd even say Burrow would be shown the door before Taylor. And Katie is every bit as bad as her dad, so the cycle will continue for the foreseeable future.

The worst offenses in the league: Titans, Browns & Bengals and the gap from the rest of the league is growing...
