You can say what you want about the Browns or try and make it sound like it's not that bad, but 192-284-4 while also being winless in the playoffs speaks for itself. EVERY team has won a playoff game since the last time the Bengals have. Obviously Mike Brown's way doesn't work, but he doesn't seem too concerned with changing it. He brings in a loser coach and opens up his wallet in free agency and this team still goes 6-25-1. Maybe more of the problem is with the front office or lack thereof than anything else. I fully expect the change in free agency to be used against fans wanting change as showing that it also doesn't work.

I was ready for Marvin to be gone as much as the next guy, but we really should build a statue of him outside the stadium. Marvin was 131-122-3 and has the only playoff appearances under owner/GM Mike Brown. Marvin Lewis coached 68% of the wins in the Mike Brown era. In 16 years he won 131 while the other 14 years of Mike's brilliance only brought 61 wins (an average of 4.3 wins per season).

With the exception of Marvin Lewis, everything Mike Brown, his family, and friends do is wrong. They really should learn from the rest of the league if they really want to make fans believe they care about winning more than lining their pockets.

Yep

If a writer would write a book about MB's entire career here as owner/GM and title it Joe Blow's football team. Change all the player/coaches names and so on. No publisher would take it ! They'd say it will never sell. Nobody is gonna believe there's an owner out there that incompetent.
