If Marvin gets an extension again?

I guess I would suffer through a "lame duck" season, but don't think I can stick around if he gets an extension.  I'm also not sure how much longer I can continue to support a Mike Brown owned team.  For all the things that we tell ourselves have changed, the results continue to stay the same.  I firmly believe the last couple years were the "crest" and this team is on a downward trajectory right now.  Being a Bengals fan is what I would imagine it's like to have an alcoholic for a mate.  You see the good and the positive in them, which gives you just enough hope to go on.  You have some good times, but you always know the bad is coming.  I have not lived in Southwest Ohio for 20 years, so it's not like anyone could blame me for starting to root for someone else...

I'm with ya,

I fully expect the march down mediocrity lane to continue. Marvin will still be here even if we lose out. The coaching staff will mostly stay intact, oh they may release the assistant to the assistant locker room coach. They may release Peko and a couple practice squad players or something. But 90% of what's here this season will be retained. I'd say they'll get a new kicker.

They'll sign a couple has been's just off the IR around 33 years old and Hobspin will have an article ready about how much the Bengals have changed and are working hard to get back in it thru free agency.

We'll run 80 - 90% of the same offense out there. They'll assure us Bodine and Ogbuehi are coming around (Paul Alexanders pet projects have years to blossom). MJ, A. Jones, and Maualuga will still be staring and on and on ad nauseam.

We'll go 9 - 7 next season and just miss the playoffs, ironically on a missed FG in the last game. But then we'll get the see we're headed back in the right direction and Marvin gets another extension.

It's the never ending story - We can't go back to the 90's ya know. 

And if this plays out, which I think will. I just don't think I can stomach another season of the worst run FO in the NFL.
