I saw this on Facebook:

 

Dale Mueller - I actually love Marvin Lewis. I think he is a great man who has been awesome for our city. I think he turned the Bengals around when he came here and has been showing continuous improvement until the last 2 years. We made mistakes letting OLM and WRS go and started this year with the wrong OC but we are still on the right path. I wish I was young enough and good enough to play for Marvin.

Lazor staying on.

Mistake.

Only the Chargers are lower because they play in a soccer stadium that seats less than 30k.

The web site in the link had data up through 8 games. This link has the Chargers as the lowest at 783K, then Browns with 968K, then the Bengals with 978K, then the Raiders at 988K. All the rest had over 1 million in attendance.

I don't think I've seen one fan who is happy about this move. Talk about alienating your fans

Will the Brown family always be running the Bengals even after Mike is out of the picture, don't he have a daughter/granddaughter or niece that is involved in the business end now?

Yeah, and I'll bet he gets both his tobacco and his bourbon from Kentucky. Thanks, Hamilton, County tax payers.

 

That is for 8 home games which is all they play during the regular season. 31 of 32. As for friends, Mike Brown doesn't have many apparently. I had club level sets near his private box and anytime I saw him sitting in the box he was by himself.

Marvin will be at Cincinnati as long as he wants, so Cincinnati fans might as well get use to it, the future doesn't look too promising....

 

It doesn't? We have a lot of young talent, a few guys still in their prime (AJ, Burfict, Geno, etc.), and we just need to fill in a few pieces via free agency (unlikely) and the draft, like a new center, middle linebacker, offensive tackle, guard, and maybe one or two others.

 

People on this board baffle me.

 

Is Marvin a good coach? No. He's horrible at game planning, in-game adjustments, clock management, getting the team motivated, etc., but what other respectable coach would come here under these conditions? The players seem to like him, he has more influence than any other coach ever under Mike Brown (per Mike Brown), and we've come very close to getting over the hump and advancing in the playoffs (one Jeremy Hill fumble away from it, actually).

 

If you look at the season last year, we went 7-7 after replacing Zampese with Lazor to finish 7-9, and that's with losing FIVE games by 4 points or less. You don't get points for almost, but point is it's not like we just rolled over and were horrible every game. Mind you that all of that happened with a horrible offensive line, and specifically at center, which hopefully we'll be drafting Price from OSU to play center.

 

It's like people just go with the easiest answer, like All State did, and just say it's all doom-and-gloom because that's easier than doing some actual evaluation.

Mistake.

 

 

You are killing me. I just die laughing at your posts . They could have resuurected Bill Walsh from his grave, named him OC and you would say mistake. Better yet, whoever was metioned youwould have sad mistake.

 

 

Gve me three available you think they should hire.

I am always optimistic. I was worried with the way we played against the Bears and Vikings. We just were not competitive. The Vikings are good the Bears awful. However, they looked really good the last two games against teams that had everything to play for.

 

I am in for life.

Exactly, so am I, but now it's not just blind optimism because we have a solid core and showed that we can win some tough games.

 

We mentioned beating Baltimore, but also forgot to mention that it WAS IN BALTIMORE, which is one of the top ten toughest places to win in the NFL, especially with their season on the line.

Lapham mentioned Jack Del Rio as a DC candidate.

What about the offense in 2017 screamed that it was good? Go ahead, I will wait. Nothing. Clean house, get new blood.

I will give the guy a chance. They were 7-7 with him, not great but not his offense. I will give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

 

I am waiting for your three.

If you’ve ever heard him talk you can imagine why. He’s so monotone it’d drive you nuts to converse with him. He reminds of a kid who inhereited his fathers buisness built from the ground up, but has zero appreciation the effort his father put into it. He also isn’t a natural leader.
