Even if we were to somehow make it to the playoffs, the one-and-done curse would rear its ugly head again, and who wants that? Some of us old-timers will never recover from the ML era, and it looks like Zac has been taking Marvinomics because we are starting to cement ourselves back into our old ways of losing, but having a great enough offense to keep the dreams alive. What a joke!
Old timer - ML Era? Really? I've been following the Bengals since 1982. Trust me, I'll take the Marvin Lewis era over the Dave Shula, Dick Lebeau, and Bruce Coslet, or also known as the Lost Decade. Marvin Lewis catches so much shit for being 0-7 in the playoffs but you know what at least those teams were competitive and got to the playoffs. Know what Shula, Lebeau, and Coslet never did, make the playoffs. So again, you talk about the ML era all you want but don't act like that man didn't come into Cincinnati and completely turn the franchise from sorry ass losers into a competitive NFL quality football team.
