But I agree we are doomed to irrelevance for a good few years.

On the brightside, our uniforms are the best and they can never take that away from us.

USS Bengals: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.


CND reply: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.


US Bengals: This is Captain Hue. I say again, divert your course.


CND reply: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course!


USS Bengals: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS BENGALS, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!!

Eventually players will go on strike on the grounds that they should not be forced to play for the Bengals.  The players union will force the league to buy out Mike Brown and dissolve the team.  Another city will be granted an expansion team and the Bengals will no longer exist.

Hope you all enjoyed the victory over Tampa Bay.  Looks like that will be the last win in Bengal history.

Hope I am wrong.  I will gladly eat crow if we ever win again.  But I just don't think it is possible.

We are 3-1-1 against the Broncos on Sunday afternoon games (when it's storming in Australia) under the great Marvin Lewis, so clearly we're going to win this week. If we don't, it's only because Marv doesn't have enough talent. Although usually he turns poop into gold, sometimes the lack of talent is too much for even Marvin to overcome. 

So when we win, Marv gets extra credit, but when we lose he's absolved of blame.

Steelers and Bengals having near identical records against all other opponents except when they play each other equals Marvin Coaching Great with an Inferior Roster. Matching the Steelers with half a Roster tied behind his back in these games. (Overcoming Mike Brown in Fred's world)

Steelers owning Bengals Head to Head equals Marvin Coaching Great yet losing with an Inferior Roster. (somehow Knee capped by Mike Brown)

Gotta love it...

Bengal fans loosing their heads every free agency period and crying about how we can't win with Mike Brown as owner. Then claiming having Mike Brown as an owner does not effect Marvin's ability to win.

But of course all those fan also know that one of Marvins is stupid because he is not aggressive at the end of the first half, except when he was aggressive at the end of the half against the Ravens.  Then it was stupid.

And Marvin is stupid because he is to conservative with a lead in the second half except when we played the Chargers in the playoffs.  Then he was stupid because he was not conservative with a lead in the second half.

It is amazing how I remain consistent at all times and I get accused of "spin" while the haters can't even remember which side of their mouths to speak out of.

I gotta give you credit for the Spin you put on Marvin's quarterbacks versus the Bengal QBs of the 1990s to give ALL CREDIT to Marvin & ZERO credit to Mike as the GM possibly improving as a drafter of QBs in Marvin's era versus the 1990's.

Mike gave Marvin Carson & Andy

The 1990's Mike chose Akili & Klingler

Fred says this is NOT proof of a GM improvement between the two eras but instead that Akili & Klingler would have been just as successful as Carson & Andy had Marvin been their Head Coach.

That is World Class Spinning Fred and I Tip my Hat to ya, that was awesome Pro Marvin & Anti-Mike Spin.

 I mean it.   Awesome.

Let me ask you which makes more sense.

1.  Mike Brown sucks at drafting for exactly 12 years and then becomes great at the exact same time that he hires Marvin as head coach.  Just an amazing coincidence.

2.  Marvin is better at coaching and using the draft picks to win games.

12 years without a single winning season and losing over two thirds of his games, then magically he becomes a good owner at the exact same time he hires Marvin Lewis as head coach winning over half of his games and making the playoffs 7 times in 15 years.

You have to go through some serious mental gymnastics to believe that is just some random coincidence.
