Big problem number 2- marvin is scared of change, he's just a scared coach period. We get a td lead, play conservative and try to escape with the win. Hold them off defense for the love of God. He's all in on dalton. They already got mccarons replacement ready to go, and I hope he never sees the field. I think it would be worse then Steelers back up Landry.

I'm at a loss of words on how to fix us, I'm just in watch it play out mode. They've already said no coaching changes. I don't think the off season will be that exciting like usual. I suspect some of the bums will be right back. Peko and dansby, probably Adam Jones too. His dad ain't going to fire him, Marvin.

I think they'll go early defense in the draft Foster or Barnett, unless whit leaves then well see cam Robinson as the replacement. And well hope for the best outcome next year.

This post is dripping with awesome sauce! +1!

I'm part of "Andy's Army" myself because Andy Dalton has been a winner since high school and I see his leadership skills on display on the field. It can be argued he won in Week One against the Jets by sheer willpower. But even armies need changes of command and I'm not opposed to this if it gets Cincinnati a Lombardi.

Similarly, I think Marvin Lewis is amazing in how he pulled the wreckage of the 1990s off the side of the road and became -- statistically -- the most successful coach in Bengal history. This isn't enough. Marvin has one more year on his contract and Mike Brown will honor that as he should.

What can I say about Mike Brown? I'll stick to the positive because we've hashed out his negatives on this board and on the old board for over a decade now. He's loyal to his players and coaches and he pays for talent when he finds it. I only wish he weren't so comfortable with how things are done and if he's still driving a 1990 Lumina, this means he might keep players and coaches past their useful lifetimes too. I just hope and pray Mike gets a Lombardi. The fact that his father's team doesn't have one isn't good because nobody affected football more than Paul Brown.
