As much as there is to criticize ML for, one thing he's pretty good at is responding to really bad losses. I also think the team is embarrassed and will come out ready to do whatever it takes to win.
I'm not saying it'll be a blowout (not saying it won't be either), nor will the problems not be present (not saying they won't be either). I'm also not saying we will have a winning record this year (not saying they won't either).
All I'm saying is this: the Bengals will beat the Texans on Thursday.
WHO DEY
How many damn times have we watched a Marvin Lewis team get flat out embarrassed and think "Next game will be better" Shit No it won't. You think Marvin is going to have a Belichick moment after 15 years of this crap. Any other coach probably would have their team fired up and ready to kick butt this Thursday but this is Marvin Lewis. He can't get a team ready for a season opener much less a Prime Time game in 4 days. I would not be surprised at all if we get shut out again. I'm dead serious, if we score at all it will be the D taking advantage of a rookie QB, but it won't be enough because that rookie will shrug it off and resume to his Joe Montana imitation just the same as every rookie a Marvin Lewis team plays. This coaching staff needs to be shakin up fast. No point in talking about any of the players performances if this coaching staff remains.
