Attitude

Why is it important?

If you want to pound the run, you need an attitude.  If you want to get to the opposing QB, you need an attitude.  If you want to make tackles in space, you need an attitude.  

The Bengal's attitude is one of indifference, and defeatism.  It starts at the HC.  

At least we know that Marvin is gone after this year.  Not sure I want Paulie G as HC.  I don't know if Darren Simmons would be considered or not.  I might be willing to open the purse strings to pay a Jon Gruden to be HC and have Hue come back (if the Browns lose their patience that they swore they would have this time) as OC and keep the defensive staff in place.  

I'm not sure, except for the fact that Marvin has sealed his fate by not being willing to change his M.O.

Six games in to the season and it is all but over.  Just watch Ross and Mixon light it up now that they are all but eliminated from contention.  

A couple vents from this game:

Mixon had more yards than Bell at the half.  Why did we go back to Hill and completely waste a SECOND series?  You don't get many and you just gave away two of them with this turd.

I counted three passes to TEs.  Three.  That was where the defense was set up to be taken advantage of...and we hit the TE three times.  

Why was MJ back at RDE?  As usual, did nothing there.

Where the hell was Geno?  Completely invisible.

How did Bell run right by guys and never get tackled?  Were their arms pinned to their sides?  It was weird.  It was almost as though they couldn't see him.  Worst tackling performance I have seen in a long time.  Props.

I was absolutely furious to see 90 back at DE.  Why?  I will say I thought he played a decent game up until I quit watching, against the run.

As for the rest of the post, couldn't agree more.
