But, until the Management sees their own culpability, in allowing things to be as they are, nothing will change.
The worst part of the entire deal? Aside from the obvious heartbreak and misery to the loyal fans, there are some seriously talented players just wasting their careers away on this roster. One of those players blew a gasket today.
This team is seriously starting to remind me of the pre-Marvin years. That time when talented guys like Pickens, Dillon, Spikes, etc. were just dying to be anywhere but on the Bengals roster. When Marvin first arrived, he represented a ray of hope. Hope that the Management had finally decided to go "all in", and make a serious effort to field a winner. Years later, we all know that was only "conditionally" true, and another generation of Bengal fans has now had the life sucked out of them by Mike Brown.
I generally mask my disgust with the organization with a little humor and sarcasm, and appearing at times to be the eternal optimist. But, just like so many other life long fans of this team, the Management has essentially killed my enthusiasm. I slipped into a bit of a dark hole for a minute, just before the season began, and declared that this was going to be a 3-13 type of team. I have to say, that prediction might not be that far off. Games like the ones versus Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and today's game look mighty akin to games of a 3-13 team.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
