Bengals' CB Dre Kirkpatrick didn't even entertain questions of Marvin Lewis leaving. "Marv aint going anywhere," he said. "How? We're down. We're hurt. It's not his fault. As players, we've got to take full responsibility for it and quit letting it run off to the coaches."

Dre Kirkpatrick: "I'm not about to put nothing on that man. I feel like he's coaching his heart out. He's trying to do everything he can to get wins around here, and as players, that's what we've got to do. We've got to execute for him."

Well... that sucks.

Dre can’t cover anything, little lone the ML saga. He should hold the door open for him as they both leave the stadium for good.

Rocky and Lance were discussing his soundbite on WLW tonight. Rocky said he'd done that himself during his NFL career, and it's nothing more than a player covering for his coach. Take from that what you will.

The 'We're hurt. It's not his fault.' part sounds like more than covering. It sounds like something MB would say.

This means very little but it shows how the Players love Marvin.

Like we needed Dre to tell us that...

That's EVERYTHING to MB.

I have no doubt that he's coaching his heart out.

Cuz there's definitely no heart left in his demeanor and attitude towards this city and its fans.

I think easy and Cheap is more MB than player friendly.

A lot depends on that option. IF it's a team option, then he doesn't have to pay him if he moves on.

That said...if it's Hue...we get worse.

Knowing the Bengals Hue will be the HC and Marvin the DC or some crazy arrangement that never happens.

Clearly Dre should throw Marvin under the bus to the public, rather than give the standard political answer.

Dre is drunk on the Marvin koolaid. Dude needs to put the bottle down

Marvin helped Dre get a huge OVER paid contract so no doubt he loves the Marv.

Alex Redmond does not want Marvin going anywhere either. Redmond can commit multiple idiotic penalties every single week and never get benched or held accountable. Not saying we have many options at guard but the penalties are getting out of hand. Bill Lazor even talked about penalties a few days before the game and was quoted saying “I think professionally it’s embarrassing, really, to have pre-snap penalties. We’re all professionals, players and coaches, so to have unforced errors is embarrassing. I guess at some point it has to be part of the evaluation of your performance. I believe he went offsides on the 1st series vs. the Raiders, he should have been benched immediately. Found it funny that nothing was done especially when Lazor had just talked about it a few days before.

All of the unaccountable players love Merv, they are all family. Just make sure though you dont make mistakes during practice other wise you are in his dog house, save all the mistakes for game day.

Right, it's just player speak.

But hell yes they all love Merv, there's no accountability as long as he's in charge.
