Who is to Blame?

1) Re-signing Marvin Lewis after the 2013 playoff meltdown, and letting Zimmer walk to Minnesota.  
2) Letting free agents like Mohamed Sanu, Marvin Jones, Andrew Whitworth, and Kevin Zeitler walk.
3) Drafting players in the first round that were hurt and could not contribute right away.  In essence, letting talent walk and not adequately filling those needs with any sense of urgency.
4) Two huge whiffs at drafting offensive tackles.  
5) Neglecting to address the offensive line this off-season, even after last year's mediocre-to-poor performance.
6) Hiring Ken Zampese after Hue Jackson left.
7) Holding onto Mike Nugent for too long.

Mike Brown, Marvin Lewis, and Paul Alexander.  There are your guilty parties.

There you have it.....
