It is Great Crossing then everyone else. GC was going to count of a transfer from Woodford but he couldn’t get eligible and left shortly after arrival. Should still be at Rupp and the favorites to cut down the nets on Saturday night.

On top of the on field errors, it is clear they don’t get up to play for Zac anymore if they ever did. If they did, we wouldn’t continue to blow leads or have such lulls during games. To me, it’s time for a new voice.

The 2-point try was the right call but the game should’ve never gotten to that point. Zac Taylor strikes again. How much longer do we have to suffer with him wasting Joe Burrow?

Must win for Cincy but the injuries are mounting on a short week.

Great win today with the circumstances. Worried for Thursday with all the injuries on a short week.

Say 10-7 gets you in... That means they will have to split with Pittsburgh, win in LA, and probably win in Dallas. No room for error if they drop games like this or any other game they should win (Titans, Broncos, and Browns).

It's the Bengals way that this is the game they rise up and put together a great performance and bring the fans back in believing they can make a run. Bengals by double digits.

One thing is clear from Joe's post game presser... He's fed up with Zac as well.

I don't think it is over but there isn't much rope left. Hopefully they'll take care of the Raiders but a loss to Baltimore on Thursday night after that will almost be it.

They also let Mixon go this offseason and now he’s one of the best backs in football again. NFL allows 5 scouts and the Bengals refuse to pay a 5th scout to save money. It starts up top but as for on the field, this coaching staff is wasting this roster.

Bengals have a culture problem top to bottom. They refuse to pay their stars and let them walk while thinking they’ll just draft the next star and develop them. Well those picks aren’t working out and you have stars leaving for new teams. No reason Jesse Bates shouldn’t be in stripes and Tee and Ja’marr shouldn’t have been paid by now. They just don’t seem to get up to play for Zac anymore and his play calling is wasting Joe’s prime.

There needs to be changes after a performance like that. This coaching staff is wasting a Super Bowl window.

32 assists to 5 turnovers. That will win you every game.

I have a feeling this will be a shootout with the Bengals winning or a Eagles route. I tend to think Cincy finds a way with the emotion of the White Bengal game.

They also return two juniors who have started for 2-3 years now in Luke Fawns and Dawson Gentry.

Zac Taylor is 38-48-1 as a head coach and 36-36-1 with Joe Burrow. It’s criminal he’s still the Head Coach.

Now firing Bell with a week left makes sense. They must’ve gotten tipped off that Tito was ready and wanted to start negotiations before someone else did.

I think these players from this season are a must stay, everyone else can or should be replaced: Pitchers: Abbott, Diaz, Greene, Junis, Lodolo, Lowder, Martinez, Moll, Pagan, Williamson. Ty Steve Elly CES France India Marte McClain Friedl Steer That’s it for me. I know they’ll keep more but the rest of the roster can be upgraded this offseason. I know they won’t because ownership is cheap but this is a big offseason to try and make some splashes with signings/trades and sign a proven manager. If next season ends under .500 again you’ll start seeing a fire sale of the young talent again.

I think you’ll see either or both of Benson and Fraley gone and an outfielder either signed or traded for. They’ll need to sign a backup or starting level catcher to backup Ty Steve. Personally I’d love to see this: Skip Schumacher as manager. C Yan Gomes OF Tyler O’Neil P Lucas Giolito

Proven point that they are focusing more on vets instead of more talented young guys.

The offseason turmoil was really a sign of things to come. Team has cap space but choosing not to use it to upgrade then choose not to play guys they’ve drafted because they favor the vets. You can’t tell me guys like Burton and Battle are any worse than what they’re putting on the field.

Firing him now gives them a week head start on other teams who will fire managers in trying to find someone. Plus they want to avoid backlash by putting it out late Sunday night during SNF, a Bengals game the next day, and the Reds heading on the road. Divert attention from the real problem.

This is Krall and ownership placing blame when they are the ones handcuffing the organization. Yes, it is time for a new voice but to do it on a late Sunday night with a week left in the season is them trying to make it seem things are changing when it won’t change as long as the front office stays the same. Lot of Skip Schumaker talk online. While I get it, he’s about to lose 100 games this season and won’t be an upgrade IMO.

Personally I think it’s time to cut bait. I know they won’t because he has connections in the front office but I think it’s time. Talk about injuries this year but 1 playoff appearance in 6 seasons is grounds for many other organizations. He just doesn’t inspire the team it seems and he relies on analytics for everything instead of a feel for the game.

Reds officially eliminated from postseason consideration today. What do you do with Bell? Should he be gone? Given another year? Currently has a 47% win rate in 6 years with 1 playoff appearance in the shortened COVID season.
