I too will mention Mike Brown since Mike Brown demands to be mentioned.  This team started 8-0 and was looking very Super Bowl until Dalton was injured in yet another Bengals vs Steelers injury riddled game.  Mike Brown let Marvin Jones and Sanu both go after that season leaving no receivers to take their place.  To this day in Jan 2018 they have yet to be replaced as the youth has failed greatly.  Mike Brown the next off season let both Zeitler and Whitworth go, leaving no blockers to replace them as the youth failed greatly.  ....I say no coaches could have won under such awful front office cheap moves.  No coach in NFL could have lost pass catchers such as Jones and Sanu and blockers Zeitler and Whitworth and not went backwards from the team that started 8-0 in 2015 before these last 2 off seasons of blunders by Mike Brown. 

So in saying this is not a Mike Brown thread and to focus on Coach Lewis, I agree with this poster it is impossible to ask WHAT WENT WRONG without the words MIKE BROWN since in fact it truly was MIKE BROWN that WENT WRONG.  I'm totally amazed Bengals went 7-9 this season because Mike Browns moves should have caused 0 to 4 win season.  Getting 7 wins out of this team may have been far better coaching than it takes to get a good solid team to the Super Bowl.  If Mike Brown would have kept Whitworth and either Jones OR Sanu, the team that started 8-0 would not have fallen to 6 wins and 7-9. I again say 7-9 is great coaching considering Mike Browns moves should have resulted in 0-16 to 4-12. MIKE BROWN IS WHERE THE TEAM WENT WRONG.
