I don't think I'm being melodramatic here, but perhaps I am. The funniest/saddest thing is when we say stuff like "no playoff wins in 25 years" and "1-13(?) in Sunday night games since 2004" and people say "Leave the past behind!"
Both of those streaks are firmly at the feet of Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis and they aren't the past; they are the present, and future of this team. When the whole team looks awful it is on the head coach and/or ownership. Personally, I'm still confident we can win a playoff game this year, but I also thought we were over the whole "not showing up at all" phase, as well. Ok, generic rant over.
Patriots vs the Cheifs last year is a great example if your looking for one not involving the Bengals.
Packers the last 3 games before this win were BAD!!!!! but they dont consistantly win 10+ either so i guess thats out.
as far as it being on Mike Brown i can only agree in the sense that he can fire Marvin.. He doesnt Coach any of these guys or call any of the plays on the field. He has helped build a very nice roster as is his job. Marvin and Company have to plan and motivate better and the players have to execute better
