"There's a loose belief that Taylor could get another year"

How could anyone say this with a straight face?

It is true.  Marvin Lewis, Chris Collingsworth, Boomer all have stated similar quotes.  I stated this in another thread but I will paraphrase it again here.  Mike Brown does not measure progress in the dichotomy of W-L.  My opinion is that he accepts losing as part of the process of becoming competitive.  

In addition, this perception only works if he is compartmentalizing the last 3 decades so that his leadership is not evaluated in its totality.  Similarly, the end score of the game does not indicate how competitive the team performs;  It may be a play here or play there that causes a team to lose.  In Mike Brown's world, W-L record may cost the team from reaching the playoffs and cause the fans, media angst.  But W-L record is not a valid measure for the pulse of a team.

IMO, what needs to happen to get Taylor fired is for the Bengals to lose completely and utterly in the last few games.   Steelers and Ravens will destroy the Bengals.  I do not think Dallas and Texans will dominate the Bengals.
