After Paul passed, and FA went into full swing, Mike embarked on an unprecedented austerity program, which included purging theroster of every high priced vet. What was left was barely better than a strike roster! Remember fred, the master plan, securing the franchise for the Brown family? The players you mentioned wete rrandom nuggets of corn in a pile of crap. Coaching wasn't the main problem with those teams, not by a long shot! The starters were in reality 2nd and 3rd stringers! Not that the coaching was any good either. Or was it? We had LeBeau for a number of those years, was he a bad coach?
Carson Palmer was drafted during Marvin's reign, correct?
Hell, you could blame the Bengals turnaround on him just as much as Lewis, for tthat matter!
Well that's just it. Modern free agency started in 1991/1992 and we haven't won a single playoff game since modern free agency started.
