rwjcgc Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Marvin,Like you, I see better than I hear.You have managed to assemble quite the collection of stumble-bums and not quite good enoughs duringyour tenure as Head Coach. As you have continued to bring in your players and mold them in your vision, the team hascontinued to regress.It's time for you to move on.

Whur CHad At? Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I hope this is just a phase and we will snap out of it by next week...but I just dont think Marvin really cares. I mean he doesnt have control of his team, which in some ways isn't his fault. Mike Brown needs to sell the team now to new ownership(how about public ownership) or give it to Katie and hire a GM. Marvin wants to go...and he needs a bad product to get his wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ickey44 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Marvin doesn't need a bad product to go. He can resign any time he wants. He can for all I care. Maybe Zimmer can light a fire under everyone's asses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whur CHad At? Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I feel bad for Zimmer, did he know what he was getting into? I mean did he forget to teach the fundamentals like how to tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ickey44 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I feel bad for Zimmer, did he know what he was getting into? I mean did he forget to teach the fundamentals like how to tackle.Apparently Rivers missed that class. Did everyone see his "tackle attempt" on Clayton during his TD run. Pathetic. Even the new guys don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwjcgc Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 What happened to the new exotic defensive looks? Zimmer's guru status (as promoted by the team) has taken a big hit in my eyes.I know the primary reason they lost this game was the complete failure of the offensive line. I shouldn't give Palmer a pass butwhen there is no line push and no fear of a running game there ain't much he's going to be able to do.

These are the same guys from last year who only gave up 17 sacks. I know they let a lot of pressure and didn't run block well last year, but they were better than this. What happened?

kingwilly Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Interesting quotes from ML after the game over a C. Trent's blog. I have added my own edits to turn what he said into what he SHOULD have said:What he said - Marvin Lewis: "I just told our football team in there, I’m disappointed in a couple of areas. We’ve got an opportunity to stop and get the ball back and we didn’t do it. Offensively we didn’t do anything good on third down. We didn’t run the football effectively enough. The two explosive plays we gave up seemed to be the difference in the game until that last drive."What he should have said - Marvin Lewis: "I just told our football team that every job in the roster is on the line. From the first possession to the last, it was a steady series of missed assignments, poor execution and lack of effort. We will get it fixed either with the guys we have or with guys who WANT to be a Bengal."What he said when asked about Perry's fumble - "It was a fumble. It doesn’t matter if I considered it or not. A fumble’s a fumble. There’s no question the ball was out. They stripped the ball when he was up in the air."What he should have said -"The purose of challenging the call on the field is so that we can give our team every chance to win we can. At the worst, it was worth risking a time-out for the review. Getting the extra time to regroup the guys on the field while we waited for the play to be reviewed was worth it. If it is determined that Perry was down and we keep the drive alive, we've done ourselves that much better. This falls on the shoulders of the coaching staff to make that call."When asked about the O-line - "We've got to stay on and keep chiseling. We're half a guy away. At times, we had some good runs in there today. Other times, we didn't identify very good, and they were able to get a guy running."What he should have said - "We did very little to be excited about. We will need to review who is starting and why. The game film will show us where the scheme was wrong and/or where the execution was poor. I saw Carson being hurried, hit and sacked far more than should be. Working this problem is a priority for this team." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Offense hung the defense out to dry in this one. Two short fields, no points in the first quarter. Inexcusable anywhere, much less on the road against a division foe. No sustained drives to speak of.A lot of blame to go around. For me, on offense, it starts with Palmer. Let's see some fire, fella. Lead, for f**kssake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoTbOy Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 MLewis may not be a good HC, but I can't blame him for everything, we just don't have impact players on D...The Ravens keep good defensive players year after year coach after coach(MNolan,RRyan) and the D stays good leaders like RLewis, MStrahan, BUrlacher make sure that there teams don't panic no matter what, we have no people like that...Even DLeBeau had this team and he couldn't do much with it, but look at the Steelers, he has TPolumalu and impact player and they go to the SB, so all is not MLewis fault unless he has complete authourity over who we draft and sign...

In 2006 it was also injuries with Carson not quite himself and Perry going down and Pollack and suspensions. Now we had Marvin's team assembled in full. His draft picks, his FA signings, his coaches and weeks to prepare. The men's john at half time smelled better than our Bengals. This is Marvin's team, it's his responsibility.
