I blame Marvin Lewis when we go around 11-5, lose to the Steelers, and get embarrassed prime-time and playoff games.
There's no twisting here. It's pretty simple.
It is easy to blame, pick someone or something and blast away. The playoff losses each has an identity of its own. Arguably the 2 at Texas were to a better team, that leaves 5. The loss at home to the Jets was on the players and the coaches in my opinion. I say players too as it appears we have had players disappear in the playoffs, out so called studs were duds in the playoffs. The Indy loss at Indy we were in decimated by injury.
The one loss I think was a win we should have had was the chargers at home, coaches and players blew it. The loss to the Steelers was clearly on Hill and the stupidity during the game by Peko and Jones. I give Burfict a pass as the late flag was a bang bang play ad he played his arse off unlike others.
So some will blame the coaches (all and not just ML), some the FO, some the players. I blame them all and I blame Tobin for 2017 not getting a deal done for Whittworth when the next ups were questionable at best. Obviously they were not ready, my guess why PA finally was fired.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
