I ask because you said you don't think getting rid of Marv at this point would make sense. As i pointed out before, there have been 14 seasons without a playoff win. A lot of those explained away for one reason or another. 

This question isn't to antagonize or prolong a negative narrative, just to try and find out when enough is enough; where the line is drawn. And i ask because a few times in the recent past, people have said "if he can't get it done with this roster...". 

My personal opinion is, people just don't generally like change and there's the worry that if a change is made, it's automatically going to revert to the lost decade times. 

You have the big guns in any argument against ML or MB as they have never won anything in the playoffs. You may be right their past failure will never results in future success as long as they are leading this team. My only counter is many experts believe we do have a top 10 roster right now. I am a gambler and believe in odds. Even a blind squirrel will find an acorn once in a while so maybe the odds are the blind Bengals will find a nut in 2017 keeps us optimistic prior to the season.

It is cool, you have posted over again you have no hope and you have great reasons (big loaded guns) to back it up.
