I just think that the players are equally to blame for the choking, and flat play, etc. Those guys are still here and we are hoping that they will transform into something that they proved not to be under Marvin Lewis? It’s possible but I don’t like the odds of it happening. Old habits die hard and the old habits outnumber the new ones at this point, so I will wait to declare a “New Dey” until I see the sun come up.OTOH, remember when Marvin first came here?
He inherited a lousy team (4 wins IIRC). I don't recall if he brought in any "top player talent" (I doubt that he did) and we were 8-8 the following year.
So a new coach, a new staff, new methods, etc. can help. Will we make the playoffs this season? My "talent meter" says no ... because we have at least 8 serious holes to fill (RG, RT, TE, LB1, LB2, CB, DL, Edge) and we can't fill them all in one draft.
