Being outcoached every week has cost this team wins, playoff aspirations, and possibly a championship. How many times in this Marvin era have we looked absolutely unprepared in big games? How many times have we stuck to the same gameplan while the other team adjusts after halftime? How many times do we have to see the dumbfounded look on Marvin's face when the other team just rolls us or our players commit a boneheaded play?

I am tired of it. We need a coach who knows how to plan for the big games. We need a coach who can adapt, in-game, to the momentum of the game. We need a coach who can exploit the weaknesses of the other team and roll with the strengths of our own team. My choice for that coach would be Josh McDaniels, but at this point, I'd be willing to bet that any NFL coach would be better at these decisions that Marvin Lewis.

I agree with you 100%, but you have to understand one thing.  Marvin isn't the problem, he's just one of the symptoms.  Until the frugal old man in charge of everything decides that he's not the best option as GM of the organization, nothing will really change, nothing will improve from an organizational standpoint.  As long as the Brown family runs this team like a family business, they will continue to feel like they are doing the "right things", making the "best moves" for the organization.  They need to put control of Football Operations in the hands of an actual Football mind.
