Stupid decision

[Whatever]

Absolutely.  Do I think that he tries his best to do his job?  No doubt.  Is it Mike Brown's fault that Marvin is still the HC, after all these years?  You bet your ass it is!

Mikey is just loyal to a fault, which is a big time liability in a competitive performance based business like the NFL.  He desperately needs a GM that can separate business from personal issues, but it's not happening until he decides to step away for good.  I agree 100% that he should have canned Lewis years ago, and the responsibility ultimately lies with him.

To me, Marvin is a poor man's John Cooper.  Good enough to beat the teams he's supposed to beat and won a lot of games because of it, but crumbles under the pressure in big spots.  He's taken the Bengals as far as he can take them, and that's been apparent for a long time.
