These are the same people who insist that the Bengals '02 roster was loaded with All-Pro talent when they went 4-12.

The fans whoi vote for the pro Bowl teams don't think the bengals have the most talent.

The media that votes for the All-Pro team does not think we have the most talent.

The NFL players who vote for the top 100 players in the league don't think we have the most talent.

The only people who claim we have the most talent ar the ones who want to insulty our coaches.

BTW I am opposed to the extension.

I think people here may have had a valid argument for Marvin to get fired after the '10 season.  And if we lay another egg like we did in the '13 playoffs I will be in favor of getting a new coach.  But while I don't think Marvin deserves to get fired for what happened in '15 I don't think he earned an extension either.

[yellowxdiscipline]

Honestly I think Marvin is getting tired of the job himself, but i think he has plans past coaching and is trying to set himself out for the next phase in his career. The Hue/Marvin succession plan would have been a good way to do that.

In other news, the playoff drought has been extended through 2017 in Cincinnati

MEDIA:  This just in, unnamed sources say Mike Brown might FINALLY have gotten the message everyone else has gotten years ago and might FINALLY be on to the notion that Marvin Lewis might be a reason the Bengals are setting new records for underachieving!

MIKE BROWN:  Oh yea?  I'll show you!  Marvin Lewis FOREVER!!! Ha, that'll show those idiots who be smart!

Looks to me like he said ONE of the most talented rosters, not the most. Seems like a very accurate statement to me and even most analysts have agreed with that. There is no reason Marvin shouldn't have been able to win a single playoff game, his teams continually come out of the gate flat in the playoffs. Maybe it has something to do with his game planning and hatred of emotion from him or his players.

Not in '05 and '13.  We lead in the first half of both those games.

Didn't score in the first 24 mins of the Chargers game and were down 7-0 until that point and only took the lead on a FG as the first half expired, so no.

'05 game was better out of the gate but that's the outlier

It's anti small market Bengals bias. Why isn't Kenny and Riley in the HOF? I mean, haven't you started threads about this? Most casual fans and i would guess a lot of media only know the Bengals from PT and PO performance. They don't watch the other games and in regards to media that may actually watch my guess is they would pick a lesser player from a more popular team over a Bengals player. Again, bias, and the past Pitt debacle shined a big bright light on it. Where is the media outrage over those 4 bad calls? If that were reversed they would still be talking about how the Steelers got screwed and how the NFL needed to get its ***** act together. There would have been a thousand articles! We didn't get one breaking down the 4 bad calls from any major outlet and how it impacted the game. No, instead we got articles about how dirty our team and our fans are! And...that sentiment is still being played out to this day! "They lost because of Burfict and Jones, Burfict and Jones did it, dirty dirty Burfict and Jones, Burfict, Jones, Bad." Beating it into everyone's ***** skulls all the while forgetting all about Hills fumble and Burficts heroics before the hit. Yet on the side, the fine print if you will reads: "The Bryant catch wasn't a catch" Shazier should have been flagged" "Williams penalty shouldn't have been a penalty" "Porter should have been flagged".

I thought it was funny.

I also think it's funny how dramatic some people are around the forums too. Mike can still fire him whenever he wants. Clearly the media pissed Mike off and rightfully so by pulling B.S. out of their ass on a slow news day to get clicks so Mike responded and made them look like fools.

Wait, so according to this 'theory'...an NFL owner gave an extension to a HC who just established a stand alone, record setting level of playoff futility...purely as a spiteful reaction to a story that originated from Bleacher Report (of all places)...and he's the one who made them look like fools?

We haven't exactly been stellar in the first half of playoff games, but we're actually far worse in 2nd halves, where we average something ridiculous like 1.7 points.

Because making sure Marvin WASN'T a lame duck has really fixed his playoff problems.

Maybe it's what he needs.

You really, honestly believe Mike Brown is going to pay someone $3-5 million (not sure how much Marvin makes) to go away in the final year of the contract?  This is the guy who actually holds business lunches at Wendy's.  No, Marvin will be here at least through 2017.

Yep. Only time he played on a lame duck contract is 2010 I believe. 

You would think last four contracts (one year deals) would be the wakeup call he needs. It's like saying we like you, but not really. Kinda. A little. You do ok.
