Bigger question is, does MB follow suit. I’d love to see a complete start from scratch approach to the coaching staff with Katie hiring a GM that gets to pick the HC and a HC that gets to pick his entire staff.

The 174 yds in penalties alone should be the nail in MLs coffin. He simply cannot teach his players to play disciplined football....which you need to be able to close good teams out.

There was a part of me wanting so badly to believe the switch had flipped. But I knew in my heart after the FG before halftime that was the beginning of the end.

Watching Marvin Lewis led teams in "big games", playoffs, prime time, is like having the same playmate in every issue of Playboy for 15 years. You know what's coming next !

Anyone who didn’t think that hasn’t been paying attention!

It really did. Other recurring themes, sloppy/stupid plays, and just generally not having control of the team.

Great in theory, but you know he'd just giggle in there and clap his hands and say, we have to do better, you have to give more misery.

Stubborn coach who cannot make half time adjustments and won't play rookies who are better than starters who have big contracts.

Stubborn owner who gives life time tenure to favored assistant coaches regardless of performance, refuses to hire scouts, refuses to build indoor facility, refuses to sign key free home grown free agents to roll over cap money that is never used.

The last two years were all destined to happen and were completely predictable following Mike Brown's failure to fire Marvin and staff after the 2015 playoff debacle against Steelers.

What college or professional organization would keep a coach who has a 2-14 record at home against biggest rival, not to mention poor record against other upper level teams, prime time disasters, and record breaking futility in playoff games.

This record of repeated failure and refusal to make changes is inconceivable with any other sports organization except the Mike Brown Bengals.

What fan base besides loyal Cincinnati fans would continue to support this inept organization.

cleaning house doesn't always work....some organizations do this every 2-3-4 years & they still suck & have no stability at all...
but whatever....i'm sure, right or wrong, you are never going to change your position on this topic....
