When asked if he ever relaxes especially after the win before next season his response was priceless. "We are already 5 weeks behind everyone else in preparation for the 2017 season."
Made me shake my head and think, thats why your a champion. I bet Marvin is still marinating a rack of ribs for his Valentines Day buffet. Thats one small piece of the puzzle(other than the obvious ones) why the Patriots are in it year after year and we can't even win ONE playoff game.
I've read in countless articles how Lewis is looking for another extension and will most likely get it but us as fans who have no control over day to day operations in the Bengals organization, but we do have control over one thing. Our expectations. Nothing worse than getting your hopes up, only to end up in the same place year after year.
I don't care who we draft or pick up in FA, Marvin isn't going to coach them up the right way and in the right atmosphere to win. So the waiting game will continue...
" I bet Marvin is still maintaining a rack of ribs for his Valentine's Day buffet ".....Why ribs ? Why do you associate Bengals first black head coach with ribs ? How do you know he eats ribs ? Now I like ribs, I'm white, but I like ribs. I bet Bill Belichick probably would eat at Montgomery Inn or Old Hickory or Outback and try their ribs.
I'll tell you what Marvin Lewis does, since Bengals have the fewest scouts of any NFL franchise. Often Marvin Lewis is a coach of the Senior Bowl so he can scout and get a closer look. When he doesn't get to coach the Senior Bowl, he is there scouting. He is scouting all over the place. He will be scouting at the combine. When he isn't scouting he is at Bengals facility as Bengals work out in off season. Mostly he is scouting. Marvin Lewis scouts more than any other coach Mike Brown ever had. Before Marvin Lewis this team was happy to draft off this Cincinnati drug store guys Drugstore List. The results of drafting off this guys drug store list were horrible. So when Bill Belichick says he is already 5 weeks behind some coaches in preparing for 2017, that includes Marvin Lewis who has been out there scouting since Bengals last game.
Now if you want to find why we aren't as good as Patriots or Steelers, MIKE BROWN AND FAMILY. The owners of the Patriots and Steelers are better football people than these blockheads running the Bengals. Why do they have the fewest scouts of any NFL franchise ? Most teams have many, many scouts. Bengals have a couple. Why is that ? Mike Brown and Family are CHEAP. They have always been CHEAP. They will always be CHEAP. This is no SMALL THING. Mike Brown and Family are just TOO CHEAP...That Marvin Lewis has taken this franchise to play-offs 50 % of the time is amazing considering Mike Browns 4 other coaches never took Bengals to play-offs from Paul Brown dying to Marvin Lewis hired. When Dave Shula left he put the entire blame on Mike Brown saying no coach could win here, and no coach did until Lewis. Aim The Blame where it belongs, at the feet of Mike Brown and Family. Now I have no idea if Mike Brown and Family eat ribs. They do needs scouts and a GM, but they are too CHEAP to hire and pay them. More scouts would help this team, and we all know these knuckleheads are not going to hire a GM. We have the brain thrust of Paul Browns brother and children and in laws and grandchildren, the apples falling too far from the tree. Paul Brown knew football, they don't.
