They may get to keep a portion of the concessions and parking--depending on their lease (i don't know the facts of that situation). They also have to pay added contract incentives (ex: Dalton's contract with playoff escalators). If they're on the road, they have to pay travel expenses. The playoff incentives alone are usually enough to offset any profit they might make from a home game. Marvin, Marvin, Marvin... - cghelton - 09-27-2016 He should have been gone long ago.

I have never heard of an incentive based on a home or road playoff game. Once the team makes the payoffs, those players get the money if it is in their contract. So, that expense is there regardless of home or away making your comment above irrelevent.

He strikes me as incredibly condescending as almost put off by the fact that he has to address people he feels aren't worth his time. Smug, arrogant, condescending. All words that I would use to describe Mike Brown. It's why I think he and Marvin were made for each other.

Home teams get to make money from parking and concessions. So the more home playoff games a team has the more money they make. But the whole argument is completely flawed. If Mike Brown did not want to lose money by making the playoffs then the Bengals would not make the playoffs every year.

The incentives are regardless of where the game is played.

Though i fully believe he was of the mindset that he would rather have a competitive team that turned a profit but didnt make the playoffs, so he would not have to potentially have more payouts--decreasing the profits--as little as 5-10 years ago.

Going deep into the playoffs is NOT good in Mikey's mind because he has to pay people. ![]() RE: Marvin, Marvin, Marvin... - PlayerFormerlyKnownAsMousecop - 09-28-2016 (09-26-2016, 01:33 AM)Wes Mantooth Wrote: The loyalty shown to by this organization, and by a good amount of the fanbase, to Marvin Lewis is something that may indeed bite them. Big time. I think it will be more and more evident as time goes on. It's Week 4 man. I can't tell you how many times I've seen 3-0 teams flame out into Oblivion. Many of those being Marvin's teams as well. We can woulda-coulda-shoulda all day about who would could have hired here, who we could have fired there, but at the end of the day, we are currently in the midst of one of the most successful 5 year stretches in franchise history. It remains to be seen, the positive impact that this will continue to have on the organization and also the city as a whole. All it's going to take is one Super Bowl win, and until we lose to Miami and/or Dallas, I'm not ready to say that it's not our year. There's a lot of football left to be played. This thread is extremely knee-jerk. It actually makes me sad that people have no confidence in Marvin's ability to bring a team back from the doldrums. 3-5 in 2012 to 10-6 and in the playoffs. 0-1 in 2013 and going 11-4 the rest of the way out. Losing 24-3 to the Browns in 2014 and bringing the team back to making the playoffs with only 5 losses. Surviving a two-game losing streak in 2015 to almost winning a playoff game with a backup QB. And how about the franchise turnaround? After the quitter left, making the playoffs the year after even after starting 1-2. Marvin is definitely underrated as a coach, looking at all the adversity he has battled through since he's been here. All it's going to take is one big win to change the narrative forever, and that can still happen this year. Also, we as fans need to be ready for success. This mentality that we will revert to the "Bungles" (which mainly comes from fans in their 30's+) has to expire. It's not good for the mental health of this team and the city as a whole. RE: Marvin, Marvin, Marvin... - Fan_in_Kettering - 09-28-2016 Marvin Lewis might be the best coach the Bengals have had since Paul Brown with respect to drafting and acquiring talent. I don't want to lose this. However, he's not the one who can develop that talent.

So the more home playoff games a team has the more money they make. I understand that, I bolded a specific comment made. It does not matter if the game is home or away with player contracts if they have an incentive for making the playoffs. Road or home, they get the incentive. I understand his points for everything, but not for player contract incentives. He made it appear it was only an expense at home, it is an expense either way.

I would say it's more probable that Tobin is doing that more so than Marvin IMO. Marvin probably has some input, but if I had to guess Tobin was doing most of the heavy lifting.

I very well could - we'll see. I was hoping that Zimmer would have been our next head coach, so I think we are on the same page with this one. What I don't get is all the bitching and moaning on this board after a 1-2 start to the season when we have played 3 playoff level teams - 2 of them on the road without 2 of our most valuable players.
