After That First Half..

I watched how the team was clicking on all cylinders the first half and thought how is Marvin and company going to screw this up? It wasn’t a matter of if but how.

The thing I’m really most concerned with is what Mike Brown will do this offseason.  Will he continue his stubborn ways and resign him?

I felt last nights game encapsulated Marvin Lewis career here. A guy that can never finish with his team.

Brilliant summary of 15 wasted years.

Stubborn coach who cannot make half time adjustments and won't play rookies who are better than starters who have big contracts.

Stubborn owner who gives life time tenure to favored assistant coaches regardless of performance, refuses to hire scouts, refuses to build indoor facility, refuses to sign key free home grown free agents to roll over cap money that is never used.

The last two years were all destined to happen and were completely predictable following Mike Brown's failure to fire Marvin and staff after the 2015 playoff debacle against Steelers.

What college or professional organization would keep a coach who has a 2-14 record at home against biggest rival, not to mention poor record against other upper level teams, prime time disasters, and record breaking futility in playoff games.

This record of repeated failure and refusal to make changes is inconceivable with any other sports organization except the Mike Brown Bengals.

What fan base besides loyal Cincinnati fans would continue to support this inept organization.
