I get that the defense sucked this year... but how much of that was the coordinator vs the giant amount of cap that has to go to Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and Hendrickson.
He 100% needed to be fired.

He took an idiotic approach this year. Basically - just hope that Hendrickson got to the QB. Very few blitzes called, and these corners were too green to hang with receivers long enough for the QB to feel any pressure.

it wasn't until around Week 12 or 13 where Lou started upping the aggressiveness and blitzing the QB. Not coincidentally, that's also when this team started winning. They were still bad on D - but it wasn't like watching a full game of prevent defense.

Burrow, Chase and (maybe) Higgins are going to demand a giant portion of this team's cap.
That means the Bengals will have very few 2nd contract guys on defense. They will need to develop young talent quickly, and have a scheme that best utilizes their abilities. Lou proved he isn't up to that task.

He'll be fine with a defense loaded with experienced dudes. Someone will sign him.

Next up on the chopping block for Cincy:
Frank Pollack. He's the Offensive Line / Run Game Coordinator
He gets a fucking F in both of his responsibilities. There's no way he should keep his job.

All the hot sports chick I assume get passed around and are rewarded for it. They are all insufferable. Joy has great cans, and a grating voice. They are like rap video hos.

As for Skip, 1.5milion, am I reading that right? Hard to believe anyone would offer that much outside of some Saudi Prince who has a favorite Victoria Secret model.


Rough hit above. That QB is lucky the defender was there to help prevent a gnarly scorpion
Yeah that 1.5mil offer is outrageous. I gotta see this hair dresser to justify this allegation.

I would not be shocked about her being correct about Joy or Acho being the scumbag we all knew he was.

I hope Acho's wife takes him to the cleaners for being the shitty person hes been in the past. Dude loved to shit on other people's marriages but was a cheating POS himself.

This is something to think about.

I'm guessing they'd have to put one game sat and one sun instead of both on Sunday. View attachment 139563
Surely that kind of thing must have been thought of back when the first teams shared a stadium? There must be a protocol in place.

Did any teams share a stadium prior to the Jets and Giants? That's the only other instance of sharing that I can think of.

Agreed. I dont think its Lou's fault. Hes being scapegoat. That defense lost a lot of talent due to not keeping their talent in house.
They did let some talent go - mostly to sign that worthless sack of shit Orlando Brown Jr. Huge mistake by whoever evaluated that dude. He was fucking awful all year.

But Lou did not do a good job scheming with what he had until it was too late in the season.

It might be a bit of scapegoating for sure, but you can't have a defense that fucking bad and expect to keep your job.

I wasn't sure they were going to fire him because their squad was young and they played better the last 3 or 4 weeks of the season when they started blitzing more, but him getting whacked doesn't shock me. No fucking idea who they bring in. I'm hearing Dennis Allen.
