Listen, I know you and Marv love the digs you guys have in Indian Hill and all that but it's time to move on.  Wish you guys the best though.

This team is now 2-4.  They've lost 2 of the last 3, and 3 of the last 4.  They're 6-9 since starting 8-0 last year.

This was a team who was supposed to next the step, and elevate themselves from playoff team to a true contender.  Well, they've played 4 playoff caliber team this season.  Patriots, Cowboys, Broncos and Steelers.  They lost all 4 games.  Didn't win a single one.  

They lost by 18 to the Patriots, 14 to the Cowboys, 12 to the Broncos, and 8 to the Steelers.  We weren't within a touchdown and a extra point in any of these games.  Not one.  we were held to 17 or less in all 4 games.

There's a lot better talking points than the fact that we control our own destiny in week 6.  I'm not even really ure what that means in October.

I'm just not a moody little girl like most people in here. I've watched plenty of football and seen how the bengals have conducted business over the Dalton/Green era. They beat the mediocre/bad teams and lose to the good ones. The hard part of the schedule is over so the bengals will probably go on a streak like usual and make the playoffs like usual. Then I imagine they will lose again, like usual, but I'll reserve my playoff game prediction until the end so I can see how the team is playing in December.

I want a change at HC and o line coach as much as anybody but it won't happen until he retires

I'll never forget how sick it made me. We won that game with 5 or 6 field goals and played horribly conservative on offense. 

Marvin lives for low-scoring, close games. He always play not to lose and never plays to win. He put an end to the high-scoring, quick strike offense in favor of clock-control football after 2007. It's an outdated style of ugly football and rarely wins games against the top tier teams in the league today.

So, I'll keep on saying it until he's gone: #MarvBall
