Here's the thing: nothing can be done about Mike Brown. He's here until he's dead. There is some hope (however small) that Marvin can be replaced. Also...Mike Brown isn't what's causing this team to soil themselves over and over (and over) again in the same situations. That'd be Marv. We've had several teams that were talented enough to get a playoff BYE and make a SB run. We obviously didn't. At that point, you can't blame Mike. He managed to get the talent together. 

I like Dalton, I don't think we would have made the playoffs for five years without him. Just like I don't think we would have made the playoffs for five years with a Mike Brown picked coach.

That said, Dalton has been horrible in the playoffs. Interceptions, Pick 6's, fumbles, low passing ratio and poor QB ratings. Things you can't blame on Marvin. I can say Mike Brown has made it not a player friendly environment, not partaking in free agency, losing talent do to free agency. No warm dome or field house during the winter[play off season], etc,etc,etc.

So logically you can take your pick who is to blame.

I pick the owner who has bee bad since 1991 and the only reason he moved up the ladder a little bit was because of 2005 Marvin Lewis's Bengals.
