If we had some false hope that they might eek in to the playoffs, nothing would change. This team is led by completely incompetent coaches and we need an entirely new staff before we will ever have real hope.
Even if every player stayed healthy, and they actually used their talent appropriately, and were 12-4 with a home playoff game, they would STILL shit the bed because we are simply not able to game plan like the opponents coaches. They might sneak a win against a team like LA yesterday only because they didn't take the Bengals seriously. I mean, a 17 point line? I put 10 on the Bengals to win...it would have paid over 100. I did the same thing earlier in the year and Buffalo beat Minnesota when a 17 point dog. It doesn't mean Buffalo is on par with the Vikings, it means the Vikings were lazy. It's human nature.
The NFL CAN get bent. They want two LA teams in the playoffs and maybe even the Super Bowl...with Bosa healthy, I give the Bolts a real shot. And we see this time and time again. The Pats after 9/11, The Saints after Katrina, blah, blah, blah...the Bengals only chance is to be interesting and people want to watch them. They need an innovative coach...something they haven't had since Wyche. And there are STILL fans from around the globe that fell in love with that creative team. This team is just painful to watch. Boring. Stupid. Conservative. They are my team and even I hate watching how they approach the game.
They need real change and it isn't ownership/GM. It is coaches on the field and the ones that either have a plan that energizes their players or takes all energy from them because they know they are playing with a playbook that is 4 decades old, and to make matters worse, they act like changing their game plans is too much work and they can't possibly accomplish that. Broom these old stiffs and bring in some young energy and creativity. NOTHING will change until we have an entirely new coaching staff.
I agree completely I have wanted Marvin gone for years. He is just stale and his teams play uninspired.
