One of Zach Taylor’s most impressive moments was when he held the locker room together in 2019. They fought until the very last game. There was a clip of him screaming at the team during an early loss when he yelled, ‘NO ONE IS GOING TO FEEL SORRY FOR YOU!’. I wish I could find that clip today. Probably time to start yelling again.
Agree with Tony 1 billion%.... NOT blitzing Mahomes on 4th-and-16 was pathologically insane, while bringing the house on 3rd-and-7 vs Daniels was stupid.
@@brandondane4029really? Was the script to blame for y’all losing to the commanders too? What about losing to the trash patriots. Is that the scripts fault too?
Immediately after losing the Super Bowl I said we probably blew our chance and we may not get back. Windows close quickly. Egos and contracts and injuries get in the way of returning. Now we’re looking at needing a rebuild.
Defense is a MAJOR weakness! Joe & offense put up 33 points on the board MNF. No turnovers. No punts. However Anarumo as defensive General failed! Miserably! And Zac Taylor does not prepare his teams to play out of the gate. Shameful start record! NOTE: James & Tony you both do a great job. Tony I listen to you regularly on 1530ESPN. THANKS GENTLEMEN! GO BENGALS!
The cohesiveness, fire, desire, and heart that made this team special has been non-existant to this point. The KC game was a good game to watch, until it wasnt......Remember the modo up until this season???? "THEY GOTTA PLAY US"....Where is that fire??? Where is that winning mentality??......wherever it is, IT needs to be found this week. This is the week where we find out if it's the statt of pushing for a playoff spot OR playing for a better draft pick. C'MON BENGALS!!!! Find yourselves and go on that NEEDED run.
I’m not a UC fan whatsoever but Tony Pike is a star. His weekly breakdown’s he does on Twitter are gold. Please keep bringing him back if you can. Keep up the good work, guys! Love the show.
You know….keeping Joe Mixon would have been great for locker room leadership. But you wanted to spend 2 years turning the Bengals into a Excel Spreadsheet
Why does Joe have to be more vocal they have a head coach, you know! I don't think Zack has the demeanor to get this team where they need to be! He's too soft, and the players know it!!!
I would like to see Joe be a little more positive and less mopey in his press conferences, he just seems sleepy and it doesn't fill you with a lot of confidence
Facts !! No fire 🔥 from him at all after all 3 Losses !! No urgency !! It’s just the same old well the opponent played a good game made smart decisions .!! When is it our time to make smart decisions and get some fire under our ass !! Zac Taylor is the most vanilla coach in NFL History !! This coaching staff and the front office is burying this team in the dirt !!!
If you don’t think Taylor can’t scream then you don’t remember 2019. He layed into that team, once screaming “NO ONE IS GOING TO FEEL SORRY FOR YOU!” And they fought hard even in the very last game.
Thank You! All the AFC North teams have built their entire defenses to stop Burrow & Company. That was why we lossed all of our Divisional Games last year. Yes, we beat Cleveland's 3rd string & practice squad un the final game. The other five losses were all on poor Game Planning. This team is hopeless under Taylor.
Reader was injured and is injury-prone. Mixon's efficiency and burst has gotten worse every single year. It was time to move on. The run game is great now. D line will improve once Rankins and BJ Hill come back
They need a miracle when it comes to the defense and then I'll have faith in them winning again. Till then all that pressure on Trey Henderson I don't see nothing winning
We'll be fine. Leaders in the locker room will rise up out of this. There's no way we're as bad as the record shows. We've lost every game by less than a touchdown. The defense will solidify as the season goes on. Once BJ Hill and Sheldon Rankins come back we'll be a lot better in the trenches. Murphy is going to step up. Who Dey
With the quality of the players the Bengals have, and to not be ready to start the season in any way shape or form for the past 5 years, we have a coaching problem. Zack is lacking in demeanor, discipline and questionable play calling. There are no excuses for these issues none. Post game press conferences put everyone to sleep, no emotion like they don’t care. This is a terrible situation, Bengals culture is not of a winner, Andy Reid would never put up with these issues
In the last two years they’ve lost mixon, Boyd, chido, DJ, and bates they failed to resign Tee and for the time being failed to sign chase, now 0-3 looking at a real possibility of being 0-5 with no semblance of a defensive line at what point does changes have to be made, as a reporter when do you start asking these questions
You can’t resign everyone . There has to be enough money to field 53 guys . The salary cap is 255 million . Burrow gets 55 . Tee gets 21 and Chase wants 40. Don’t forget the 15 million Trey gets, Can people do math? There’s still 50 other positions . Plus if you keep resigning everyone you end up with a bunch of slow old guys.
What is wrong- It's not leadership, it's not ability. It's health. Its not complicated. If the Bengals were missing their top 4 guards and centers, their RT was trying to play thru a hamstring that has him hobbled, and the backup RT is injured, Noone would be talking about leadership. Wouldn't be talking Why can't they run the ball cause the answer is obvious. Finally Jenkins played a few snaps with the club cast and played well. The D will start playing better when Rankins, Hill, Jackson, Murphy, and Hubbard get healthy. Week 8 everyone will be talking about how much the defense has improved.
4-28-1 is Zac Taylor's record without Joe Burrow. Which is a 12.1% win percentage. Meanwhile, 183-120-1 is Andy Reids record without Mahomes. Which is a 0.60% win percentage. Belicheck is 84-103 without Brady. Which is .45% win percentage. Smaller sample size with Zac Taylor but a 12.5% win percentage is abysmal. You guys are sucking to Taylor.
We need a new HC who can actually lead and take charge instead of having the players figure out who the voices of the team are like Ted Karras or Orlando Brown. The main voice in the locker room should be the Coach
The problem is a CHEAP owner! Burrow’s real money hasn’t even kicked in yet and they aren’t paying Chase. Already lost major pieces on the defense and Higgins will be gone after the season. Hendrickson or Hubbard will probably be cap casualties. When your owner offers a deal to your best player trying to defer the money until ‘26 you’re destined for failure!
Exactly we got lucky sb year and drafted good these owners will never pay to keep the talent or aquire new talent , they go and pickup cheap and washed players in free agency.. their to cheap period
Burrow got $40M signing bonus last September in addition to his $5M and got $55M in March 2024 in addition to his $10M this season That's $110M paid to Burrow since last September FYI... Top 5 Paid Players of each team Right Now = Steelers $91.1M Vikings $114M Jaguars $118M Bills $118M Bengals $126M (w/Ja'Marr at $35M=$148.8M) (w/Ja'Marr at $40M=$153.8M) Browns $128M Ravens $129M Chiefs $132M 49ers $136M Eagles $151M Miami $157M Steelers top 5 paid players = $91.1M TJ Watt $28M Minkah $18M Highsmith $17M Cam Heywood $14.5M Queen $13.6M Bengals top 5 paid players =$126M Burrow $55M Tee $21.8M Trey $21M Orlando $16M Rankins $12.2M If Ja'Marr had accepted $35M then the top 5 Bengals = $148.8M Burrow $55M Ja'Marr $35M Tee $21.8M Trey $21M Orlando $16M Chiefs top 5 = $132M Mahomes $45M Chris Jones $32 Jawaan Taylor $20M Creed Humphrey $18M Travis Kelce $17M
You wasted a lot of time trying to prove the ownership isn’t cheap.. THEY TRIED TO DEFER CHASE’S MONEY UNTIL 2026!! That’s the definition of a cheap ass penny pinching franchise. They sold tickets to a watch party for a REGULAR SEASON game for $100/pop! Would pay Higgins when they could’ve had him in the 20s per, wouldn’t do anything with Hendrickson, wouldn’t pay Bates, wouldn’t pay Chase. All of that is BEFORE the Burrow contract even kicks in. He’s still making peanuts… The organization is a joke and an embarrassment..
Its obviously the defense, THE DEFENSE COUNDNT WIN A TOILET PAPER FIGHT 😂😂 LET alone a flag football game😂😂... MUST STOP A 3RD DOWN SOMETIME...THEN LETS TALK...
It is Coaching 100%. I have said this since the Super Bowl lose. Bengals have been too predictable the past ( 3 ) years. Coach cares nothing about any part of this team except the Throwing Game. The Special Teams are horrible and the Defense is soft and can't cover. The Lockerroom is an reflection of the Coach. This team is way to talented to be in this position ( year after year). This past off-season I mentioned we need WINNING Veteran Leadership on pur team. Von Miller was available . We can't compete for Super Bowls with Rookies and 2nd year players. Joe Burrow isn't the problem he is one of the bright parts of this team. His play speaks for itself. Play Calling is killing the Red Zone Offense. The Defense & Special Teams need adult leadership on the field.
Interestingly enough, I'd like to see us hire Belichick. He wasnt much without Brady, but he was a coaching god when he did. I bet he would get the defense straight and with Burrow could get this team like the 2000s patriots
They're one play in each game from being 3-0, it's not like they're going out there and getting boat raced every weekend. The defense has been pathetic outside of the 3 turnovers against the Chiefs, that's really the only way I see us winning is if Dalton throws a couple picks, which he is certainly capable of
Come on Tony. How did this team take big steps in training camp. They don’t take preseason serious at all. I complain about it every year and people tell me I am wrong. Guess I wasn’t. We start out the season poorly every year. Taylor just seems to want to be the players buddy, just to relaxed and laid back:
Sam Hubbard has been one of my favorite players. But he’s been none existent . The D line needs help. Burrow May not have been a vocal leader in the past . But it’s a learned skill and he’s a veteran . I don’t think it will be an issue for him.
Pats game the D was decent and Offense sucked. Both were good against KC. Defense was HORRIBLE against Washington, so blame is all over. Why isn't anyone discussing why we played a soft zone all day against Commanders? Anarumo should have to explain that mess.
No discussion about kicking & special teams. We lost to KC because of our kicker & he missed another one on Monday. And why is he not kicking it thru the end zone on KO?
Let’s not act like the defence didn’t hold it down the first two weeks… bengals score 33 against one of the worse defences the league has in the commanders and were acting like it’s only the defences fault… can’t be prisoners of the moment
But the defense was gashed in week 1 for 170 plus yards. They weren't really good against New England. And one can make the argument that the defense lost the KC game with that DPI PENALTY
Well, all this talk about burrow, the fact that taylor is still calling plays the last three years isn't a problem,they let go off all the youth on the bac end, let go of ya best d-linemen, whenis it time to evaluate zac as a head coach! Remember if ya team is struggling ya coaching is struggling. (MIKE TOMLIN)
I’m sorry.. I do not agree. To minimize problems to just saying we gotta improve at practice and not panic is how you throw this season away. Professional accountability must be the focus especially on defense. Fingers have to be pointed in a professional manner and moves have to be made. We are talking about professionals making millions.. not middle schoolers still learning the game
Too many high profile players clearly out for themselves and their money ...then the Bengals organization wants to milk the taxpayers of Hamilton county...we should invite them out of the city forever
I think the robbery being commited by sam its an issue. Never could rush the psser but now he cant even stop the run… he shouldve been released last year but now hes the worst in the league And getting 10 mil a year.
Look. The defense never showed up. The defensive backs waited for them to catch the ball. And then tackle. They played off so far they made the receivers jobs easy. It was ridiculous to watch. Jayden Daniels was 3rd and 15. So the d backs played off 18 yards. It was ridiculous to watch !!! Just stomach turning !!!
Cin's is missing the leadership Joe mixon & Tyler Boyd & DJ reader brought too this team veterans who's seen alot and not having that leadership is also a lack of culture it brings I've been saying this for yrs now when 1 player demands so much money it's takes from other areas of the team God James haven't you learned anything from Tom Brady & BILL BELICHICK day's in NE I don't understand why these players can't learn from what Brady done look at mahomes he ranks 12th in salary ave per yr after this yr borrow will take a huge bit of salary cap and their's chase
Listening to y’all talking about what if the losing continues and oh no the trouble that might cause… lol 😂 If we go 0-4, then who cares? The season is OVER at 0-4. People can bitch and complain all they want, it won’t matter at 0-4.
BINGO TONY I’m so happy he pointed this out. We are missing leadership and have too many high profile players who aren’t natural leaders.
One of Zach Taylor’s most impressive moments was when he held the locker room together in 2019. They fought until the very last game.

Well we already seen the script about the chiefs no one going to beat them so blitzing him somehow would have caused a penalty
@@brandondane4029really? Was the script to blame for y’all losing to the commanders too? What about losing to the trash patriots. Is that the scripts fault too?
No, a four man contain rush would've been the best against Mahomes, on that 4th&16.
We won a AFC championship with a 3 man rush and a spy on Mahomes…..
@@handsomejamie7279 and what has the Bengals done since? Nothing
Immediately after losing the Super Bowl I said we probably blew our chance and we may not get back. Windows close quickly. Egos and contracts and injuries get in the way of returning. Now we’re looking at needing a rebuild.
Yep. The Burrow era will be squandered. Incompetent ownership.

Tony Pike tried out at QB for the Bengals at 2012 rookie mini-camp. Wore #5.
Losing Bates, and Reader was huge on defense! Hubbard isn’t close to Hendrickson when it comes to getting to the quarterback 💯
Hubbard must be hurt or still recovering
The entire NFL knows the Bengals playbook-Offense and Defense
Thank You! All the AFC North teams have built their entire defenses to stop Burrow & Company. That was why we lossed all of our Divisional Games last year. Yes, we beat Cleveland's 3rd string & practice squad un the final game. The other five losses were all on poor Game Planning.

I dont like joe saying we kinda have to see what kind of game its gonna be!! I wish he would of said we have to come out and dictate the game
Shouldn’t never got rid of Mixon💯😑
huh? The guy was good for 3 yards a carry and no explosive plays.
This was a great discussion!
Mixon got cheated out of a chance to run with this offensive line. And I can't understand how they let DJ Reader walk.
Owners to cheap flat out
Reader was injured and we don’t see that as an issue.
Reader was injured and is injury-prone. Mixon's efficiency and burst has gotten worse every single year. It was time to move on. The run game is great now. D line will improve once Rankins and BJ Hill come back
run the ball and stop the run....I think pff ranked the bengals ol coach one of the worst
They need a miracle when it comes to the defense and then I'll have faith in them winning again. Till then all that pressure on Trey Henderson I don't see nothing winning
Spending more time trash talking than producing might be the problem.
Tony 100 right. Dax hill isn't it. Play dj turner, josh newton and Jordan battle. They can't do any worse.
We'll be fine. Leaders in the locker room will rise up out of this. There's no way we're as bad as the record shows. We've lost every game by less than a touchdown.

Colerain used to be a problem back in the day ! Tony Pike is a legend 💪🏾
I like Tony. He’s alright, I don’t care what James says about him
Bengals could be 0-15 and James would find ways to defend the front office.
No one cares what James says about anything
Man, I completely forgot about Chidobe Awuzie. Where is he at these days?
He's with the Titans now

They aren't interested in playing a lot of rookies and would rather have the vets get smoked on defense, which as a fan is super frustrating.

Why should Burrow have to get vocal with the Team ??? That the Coach Job 1
Come on Tony. How did this team take big steps in training camp. They don’t take preseason serious at all. I complain about it every year and people tell me I am wrong. Guess I wasn’t. We start out the season poorly every year. Taylor just seems to want to be the players buddy, just to relaxed and laid back:
Every game has been winnable so far, they’ll get it together by need to it fast. First 2 games defense was very good. But Daniel’s was very deceptive
Sam Hubbard has been one of my favorite players. But he’s been none existent . The D line needs help. Burrow May not have been a vocal leader in the past . But it’s a learned skill and he’s a veteran . I don’t think it will be an issue for him.
Yall... we all focused too much on Burrow. Red flags were there. We all ignored them.

Put in Battle for Von Bell
Put in Turner for Dax Hill
Put in Chase brown for Zac Moss
Get younger we look so slow on defense
No discussion about kicking & special teams. We lost to KC because of our kicker & he missed another one on Monday. And why is he not kicking it thru the end zone on KO?
Pike is least favorite “Cincy guys” for me to listen to. He always trying to find the negative story line. He is guessing at best. He doesn’t know.
Have you listened to Mo lol
Let’s not act like the defence didn’t hold it down the first two weeks… bengals score 33 against one of the worse defences the league has in the commanders and were acting like it’s only the defences fault… can’t be prisoners of the moment

Cin's is missing the leadership Joe mixon & Tyler Boyd & DJ reader brought too this team veterans who's seen alot and not having that leadership is also a lack of culture it brings I've been saying this for yrs now when 1 player demands so much money it's takes from other areas of the team God James haven't you learned anything from Tom Brady & BILL BELICHICK day's in NE I don't understand why these players can't learn from what Brady done look at mahomes he ranks 12th in salary ave per yr after this yr borrow will take a huge bit of salary cap and their's chase
Their season is over.
Listening to y’all talking about what if the losing continues and oh no the trouble that might cause… lol 😂
If we go 0-4, then who cares? The season is OVER at 0-4. People can bitch and complain all they want, it won’t matter at 0-4.
The defensive line is awful
Mixon and reader
Get rid of the Brown family! Cincinnati buy the team.
That’s what happens with a cheap owner who doesn’t pay to keep the talent everyone is unhappy
