My two cents, fire Marin in the bye week and name Paul Alexander interim coach tasked with playing/developing the young players. With Alexander the system could remain the same so the players will not have to relearn a new system. After the season is over offer Josh McDaniel or Scott Lineham the Head Coaching job (Jon Gruden is available but been there, done that). The draft should concentrate heavily on the OL and additional LBs. A top flight TE should also be a priority (Eifert is done). With the youth of the overall team a new Head Coach should be able to implement a new system and mold the team accordingly.

Why wait for the bye week? I want him out this week. It's the only chance we have at turning this thing around.

You nailed it. Even when we had good rosters...we botched playoff games.
Now we don't have a good roster and are hoping for it to quickly improve.
We are 4 competent offensive lineman away from having a good offensive line. We don't dip into free agency. Does anyone really think we'll be able to draft 4 starting caliber lineman?

It's going to take the rare coaching staff to come in here and be able to succeed with this management.
Basically the coaches scout and college games go on during the season...so how do we get scouts at all of these college games? The answer: We don't.
We scout workouts after the season is over.
We didn't some good things out there today.
We just got execute and keep digging.
On to Cleveland
Smug laugh
Classic Marvin
It's a damn curse being a bungles fan. As much as I wish I could say the hell with it I can't do it. Eiffert just needs to hang it up he's never going to play the same again plus Kroft is looking good

They could have given him the job when they hired Marvin and I don't remember him even being mentioned as a candidate.

You had me until you got to PA. I want him out the door with Marvin. I should say out the door behind Marvin. Ain't no door those two are fitting though side by side. PA is the singular reason the Bengals are where they are. His judgment put us here.
Oh and, **** the system. The system ain't working. Blow it up first.
Happy ***** Fiftieth.

Yeah, no shit. I'd even like to see Piano Man hit the bricks before Marv.

Replace these 2 with competent coaches and draft a Center early.
Easy to fix if done correctly. O-lineman can be coached up by a good O-line coach, just not this one.
IF you have 4 bad offensive lineman...then you'd don't have a good roster.
We also have issues at TE as Eifert can't play.
So essentially we start 5 backup caliber guys on offense. That's not a 'good roster'.

They rotate Howard with Brate. Brate is their pass catching TE and they've been using Howard mainly as the blocking TE.
O.J. Howard caught his lone target for 12 yards in the Bucs' Week 3 loss to the Vikings.
Howard has drawn even with or out-snapped Cameron Brate in each of the Bucs' first two games, but the rookie has focused on blocking. Howard has no business being rostered in standard-sized leagues. He has two catches through two games.

Why didn't you mention the D
The D is loaded and looks to be getting even better with this last years class. If they are able to get a MLB and Safety, this D could copy the Broncos SB run.
But then I remember we're talking about the Bengals....

Our front 7 does indeed look strong and should get better with Burfict back.
But an offense starting 5 replacement-caliber starters will derail any teams season. Then, you have to look at how a team that doesn't rely on free agency will upgrade those positions. Our WR's outside of Green have been underwhelming and who knows what we have in Ross?
Dalton likely will never be a SB caliber QB either. There's that. We've seen him with a good line and good WR's...and he's somewhere around the 12-16th best QB in the league.
