i'm glad Marvin's back....
no one knows this team better than Marvin.....only other guy i'd maybe pick over Marvin would be Mr. Bengal himself....
Dave Lapham.....
i just love Lapham....
but i will stand w/ Marvin & this team b/c it's just the way i am.....
no surrender.....just regroup & come back stronger....no matter what....never surrender....

The news that Marvin Lewis was rehired was so devastating it made Palmer quit again.

you really are in a bad place.... & it's not just you.... but several of you....a group of criers.....

sometimes you're the windshield & sometimes you're the bug....that's just how it is.....

have a tall cool glass of orange koolaid bro....
next year, after we win the Superbowl..... you can come on here & remind everyone about how you never gave up on this team....
how you're not a "fair-weather" fan....

we will fix our O-line, add a few quality players, S, LB, OT, OG, OC, etc....& we WILL  win the AFC NORTH....& yes the SB too.... pls remember i said this....it will happen..

i am amazed at how so many of you are so pessimistic....a bunch of "sad Sussies".....cry about this, cry about that.....i'd hate to be in a war, in a fox hole w/ you...b/c you would constantly want to surrender & stab your bros in the back......so many are so weak.....no spine.....
if you lived in an indian village long ago they would run you off.....get tired of hearing you all cry....
no fight....just roll over & surrender....
SMH....

And after the Bengals go 6-10 again, you'll be back here talking about the "whining bengals fans" and how the Bengals are going to win the super bowl "next year". 

Again.

"As I said many times, I just take it day-to- day. I'm excited about the opportunity to fulfill my job. Which is to win a Super Bowl. That's what I'm excited about."

LOL

I don't know which is crazier, him thinking that or anyone actually believing it. He just said a couple weeks ago I was brought in to win championships and I haven't done that, yet he can't even win one playoff game in 7 attempts and we expect anything will change. I wish the Ravens would of beat us by 50 and sent marv and Alexander packing

I see you going around attacking people and I wonder, what is this guy's problem?  But then I read something like this and the picture is clear.

Knowing the team better than anyone doesn't amount to much, really. Results speak.

Also - if he knew the team so well, why would WJ3 be sitting as long as he was? Why would Westerman and Redmond not get a chance until the final 2 games? Why would Jeremy Hill continue to be the starter? Why would Dre continue to be relied on so heavily?

Every other coach in the league knows their teams too. Sunday is when it counts. He gets out coached, plain and simple.

There are 3 times when it's ok for a man to cry. Birth of a child, reading old yeller, and a Marvin Lewis extension.

Good lord...

This is the worst news of the year.

Yes, but the year is so young...

I feel like I've been shot and left to bleed out.

There’s a chalk board at Cintas Center (Xavier’s basketball arena) where people can write notes about their favorite X player or other team related things. On that board tonight in orange chalk? “Fire Marvin Lewis!”

If your desire is for someone to take your commentary seriously, perhaps embracing proper grammar and sentence structure would be a worthy endeavor.

As to the news of Lewis' return, it's very symbolic. A franchise riddled by the stigma of disappoint and failed hope, delivers to it's fans yet another another dose of that reality.

We, as fans, are left to continue hoping in spite of the reality. That is the state of mind that ownership banks on year after year.

Oh, no.

Not firing Marvin two months ago was being shot and left to bleed out. Mike just came back and ****ed you in the bullet hole.

Of course it is Jan 2

This is truly a sad day in Cincinnati sports history.
I know this guy has been awarded no merit extentions in the past but this one feels different. I'm not sure how you spin this from a PR standpoint with the fanbase but I suppose this owner just doesn't give a **** about those things. This organization is hard to root for...

Yup.  We're all going to be walking like penguins tomorrow.

At least the expectations will be so low for the next two years that any kind of success will be easier to enjoy.

[Beaker]

I am willing to see what happens.

Hopefully, the agreement was that ML would have more power in choosing his assistants, what draft picks we take, and which players will play.

If he got those things as conditions of staying, I am willing to give it a little more time to see how it plays out.
