Right there with ya. I made a promise to myself after week 1 that I would be done with this team if Marvin is brought back in 2018. And I would be done until Marvin Lewis is fired. I'll still keep an eye on the scores, stats, the draft and gladly (yet somewhat shamefully) wear my bengals apparel. But my Sunday's will be spent elsewhere. Maybe ill take up yoga with the lady friend
With that said, I believe this is it for Marvin. I do believe that Mike is stubborn/stupid enough to offer Marv an extension, even if we lose out. But I firmly believe that Marv will not take it. This team is done with him. I know for a fact Carlos wants Marv gone, as did Derron Smith. In fact, I think the only two players that want Marvin to stick around are Pacman and Burfict (go figure
). He has very little support and has completely lost this team. Based on his more-intense-than-usual snarkiness in press conferences, I think he knows it. I do not expect Marvin back next year. If he is... Expect a mutiny of epic proportions, from both fans and players
