But look at that talent they have. Last year they had a great lockdown defense but the offense sucked big time. They won a lot of low scoring games but weren't really that good last year. This year the offense seems to have comeback and the defense has disappeared. How in the hell do you manage to blow a 31-14 halftime lead?

I consider it one of my darkest moments of my life.

I hired the least qualified of the two to make quota.

That's a damn shame. I, and every other black MAN(not just adult male, but MAN), don't want anything given to me. I want to earn it. That concept is a form of racism within itself. I definitely don't hold anything against you one way or the other. U must be a man of character to root for a team that has the Beerman as the only one filling its "quota" on D

Sorry to OP for going off-topic btw.

I don't blame the man who was hired, I blame the government and the place I worked for it.

I live about 20-30 miles north of cincy so I'm in bengals country and I said earlier this year that Its time for a new hc. All these "Bengal" fans believe that Carson Palmer is the problem not Marvin Lewis.

I say "Bengal" because people around here only like them when they do good. Every Sunday people put who DEY this and who DEY that on their facebooks. They haven't put who DEY up since the Atlanta game because I always say we DEY!

It's the chemistry, the Bengals have the talent to be a Super Bowl winner, when I said they'll give anyone a spot, I meant character wise. They can't handle adversity because their players can't keep it together.Lewis isn't without blame, but this has been an issue with them for decades.

Well the chemistry problem might have been an issue long before Lewis arrived but the coaches before him also didn't have his kind of talent too. People blaming Carson Palmer are nuts. Palmer is a top 10 QB in this league with the right coaching.

I don't think so. I think the dude's confidence was destroyed when his knee was blown out, and he never got it back.

The funniest thing is how some people want so bad to actually blame the Bengal's problems on Terrell Owens.

Yesterday there was a play when Palmer threw the ball to Terrell Owens, who was covered, and Chad seemed to be breaking open across the field.

The announcer was like "Palmer missed Chad being wide open....but that is kind of the affect that having TO has on the offense...he demands the ball."

My wife and I were were both like "What the fuck LOL". Palmer makes a horrible decision and they blamed TO. I said to her "Well, TO said earlier this year that people will always blame him. There is your proof."

I'm surprised their defense is as bad as it is too. By all accounts Zimmer is a very good DC and they're built the D up from the draft. I dunno.
