Many people here vastly over-rate the talent level on this team (myself included). Most of the

talking points of the various analysts coming into this season are being proven correct

(ie. Bengals are a slightly above average team but prone to crucial errors, Carson is a

C+ quarterback, Marvin's strength is working with personalities not a good game tactician, etc.).

I think you can put a fork in this year's edition. The schedule gets tougher from here out

and there are not enough personnel with the necessary talent or will to win. There are some good

pieces, but as a team they don't sync. Palmer looks to be mostly washed-up. There aren't

enough good players around a very average Palmer to allow consistent victories. He doesn't

have the ability to put the team on his shoulders at this point. It seems like unless everything

falls perfectly for them, this team loses.

I agree that it's time to bring in new coaches to light a fire and look at things from a new

angle.

It was funny to hear Billick be able to accurately predict the play calls from the booth

on the TV broadcast. I guess they haven't changed things much since he coached against them.

Not all analyst were right about this team. Some said they had a good offensive line. In fact some rated it as a top 5 line in the entire league, when in fact, it is absolutely horrible.
