Joe Burrow responds to Zac Taylor's comments about fixing Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals need a fix.
Whether that fix can come over the team's bye week or is something much bigger for the offseason remains to be seen. Either way, the team fell to 4-7 with Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, and the comments in the aftermath are certainly interesting.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, for example, said that “significant changes” aren't necessary as they would represent the team panicking. He added that “something special can still be here” as the playoffs aren't out of reach just yet.
When asked about these comments at his own presser and whether Taylor is right, Burrow merely said "hope so."
It was about as dejected as anyone will ever see Burrow, who admitted this is by far the toughest season of his career at any level.
In some respects, Taylor is right -- the Bengals remain in close games against great teams, yet stumble into new ways to lose each time. Sunday night was two missed kicks, a dropped interception that would have gone back for a touchdown and other mistakes.
At this rate, though, the playoffs are a near-impossibility, and Bengals fans calling for Taylor's job won't exactly go away. The Bengals are talented enough to stay in games, but it's clear something is just missing this year.
