I’ve been reading this site the whole season!  I have had a suite for 5 years and have club tickets also!  I’m very excited for next season. What has happened is exactly what I wanted to happen!  I’m calling next years Marvins true shot!  He has co trip of players drafted and free agency, players drafted and who plays!  This has not been his role in the past 15 years!

Mike Brown is one of the only owners in the league where this is his only source of income!  He doesn’t have the multi billion dollar business to back him up!  To say he doesn’t care about the team, winning, the fans etc. is a true insult to any business owner!  Nobody is going to run my business!  I do what’s in the best interest of the business!  

I laugh at everyone on here who thought we could get whatever coach we wanted!  Be careful what you wish for in my opinion!  Marvin would have had a head coaching job in a minute. Teams will bash us until he’s available and then snagged up!  My comparison is Vontez!  Everyone thinks he’s a thug and should be out of the league but those fans would be pushing there owners to overpay him to sign him to their team!  

Marvin could have had 3 jobs today!  The complicated situation for him was getting all his demand that he wanted!  To me, his time is ticking now. He has the pressure to win now and prove what he can do!  He will hire his staff and get the players that he feels he needs!

I can’t wait to watch and will buy the tickets that you season holders will pass on so more of my family, friends and company can watch him turn it around!  Go ahead and bash me and I wish I could have posted this in a new thread, but being new to the site, I couldn’t!

The players are all in, they pushed for this!  Why can’t us fans of the team!  If you can’t support, watch or go to games, your not hurting Mike Brown, your hurting all the players that you wanted drafted, sighted as a FA!  

Again, to say an owner doesn’t care makes me sick!  He’s a good man that is just running his business!

Just kidding. I live a little north of Murray (you probably never heard of Murray State, but that's about all that's here) in a town called... wait for it... Benton. Driving straight through, it's five and a half hours. With two kids, it's never straight through.

It’s your choice not to go, but to say I’m the problem seems to be a you problem!  And to not know a damn thing in what I speak of?  Seems like a very lonely person that blames everyone else for their own problems!

I will keep supporting and will not be ashamed of it!  Stay in your hole and tell everyone else what to do!

How does a coach stick around for 15 years that....
- Has Zero Discipline
- Refusal to play young guys
- Lack of Halftime Adjustments
- Cant win the big game
- 0-7 playoffs
- Keeps thugs on the team (pacMan)

My Bengals marriage is in a state of separation.......

will I still watch a game........probably
will I post and browse here..........yes
will I support Mike Brown and his decision ........no

I'm sorry but how can anyone support this decision? We all know nothing will change until Mike Brown is gone but this is a very low point for US the Fans.....

Does this make me not a fan? Some will say yes.....Some will say Im fair weather..............

I hope the Bengals prove me wrong and win it all next season but Im not getting my hopes up.....

rant over.......over and out....breaker breaker

I'll be renewing again because I enjoy going to the games.  I enjoy pro football and the Bengals are my team.  I don't get my personal self-worth tied up in it like some folks do.  I'm not giving up the seats that have taken me decades to get into under the delusion that it's going to teach Mike Brown some kind of lesson.

The irony of Marvin Lewis is that his greatest achievement has been making fans believe that if they could just be rid of him they could plug in their dream coach and start winning playoff games in no time.  The truth is that "Bengals Head Coach Paul Alexander" is probably about as likely as whoever you had in mind.

If Brown had dumped Lewis, even if he hadn't promoted Paul Alexander into the job it's assured that he would have kept all of the control he has had including keeping favorites like Alexander on staff.  The team would have settled for a coach who was willing to do without that control to get a foot in Head Coaching door.  Even if Lewis doesn't get them a playoff win in the next two years I'm hopeful that this small victory will create a better environment for whoever comes next.
