In a way, Marvin Lewis reminds me of David Brent from the UK version of The Office and the Bengals as a team remind me of the office atmosphere from that show...trying to be too chill and having a laugh. It takes the right people to make that atmosphere work, but more often than not it results in lower productivity.

Maybe if every game wasn't "just another game", the players and coaches would show a little more passion and urgency.

It was former Bengal CB, Eric Thomas, that was describing the performance of the secondary during preseason practices as lackadaisical and how that was a complete contrast to the practices he saw a year earlier ran by Vance Joseph.  He pointed out Coyle as just letting Jones and Dre be sloppy in their technique and not challenging passes.  Man, did that piss me off to hear.  

Makes sense when you see how Miami performed down the stretch.  I still don't think they beat pissburgh and what is sure to be a personal officiating team of the steelers, but they did play much better defense under Vance.
