Yep, Paul alexander......

Well if they do that, nobody here is going to watch them anymore anyway.  We'd be released from our torment.  We can't lose!

[glasgowbengal]

A rookie receiver out of Washington scores a TD,  it must have been Jon Ross, yes?  

That stat there was a shocker - averaging 5 pts in the second half.

It might make us wince today, but every bad moment increases the probability that in 2018 the head coach will be somebody new.

Yeah the losses don't bother me at all, at this point.  I'm just beyond ready for something different, whatever that is.

Every single person knew the o-line would be horrible and there they are looking at 3-5 and 2 more tough games coming up that are probably losses as well. 

 

[jonf45uk]

Such a waste of talent, can you imagine what it feels like to be Dalton knowing every play he's gonna have 2/3 giys on him in a second after the snap?!

[volcom69]

I think AJ feels how everyone else does now, so very frustrated. 

I cant take these coaches anymore, it needs to be blown up!

keep a few core people and let the rest go, please bring in new people, we need change!

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Almost time for the obligatory Bengals' defeat formation on offense.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Not that AJ did much before getting ejected, or would've changed things much afterwards, but just an indicator of the brutal #'s: (time of possession, # of 3rd down conversions, all insane for Jax as well)

[glasgowbengal]

I think this has to be the most pathetic effort I can remember in a long time.

Jax are a team with an interception machine at QB and the worst rushing D in the league. 

We've made him look like Brady and their D look like the 85 Bears.

There aren't really the words to describe the depths of this performance.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Bengals' offense today: 

30 yards rushing

136 yards passing

 

[Stripes]

Remember that season when the Bengals took a knee to end a game twice... as losers?

Gross.

Oh, and they also scratched their best player 

[ShulaSteakhouse]

The Bengals' offense sets another historic low with 36 plays run in a game, the previous record low was 38,  a franchise record. #FREEALEXANDER

Jax were 12-18 on 3rd down, held the ball for 20+ more minutes than the Bengals'.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - GIMME A LINEMAN

If this team had merely average OL play, we'd have won at least one more game, perhaps 2

But we are struggling to reach the vaunted heights of well below average

[TJJackson]

Yeah, and Paul "I'm not losing any sleep worrying about our offensive line" Alexander needs to go too

Yup gimme five linemen

[membengal]

Marvin should have been told to stay in Jacksonville.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

 

[glasgowbengal]

Ross is panning out as a bigger bust than Smith, A; Carter, K; or Wilkerson, D 

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Since starting 8-0 in 2015, the Bengals have won 13 of their last 33 games, including the playoffs.

It's over, the Marvin era is over.

Hopefully the front office's primary goal right now is to identify candidates to fill our soon to be vacant head coaching job.

Not looking forward to this cat fight. I personally feel the Jags are a better team.

I hate being right...

Boy, I hope that's true. And they do so in a wholesale cleanse, too. 

Perhaps there some on the staff who could stay, maybe the trainers and others that level but most coaching staff should exit. 

Let this season play out but be looking, very quietly, all the while. Guys I'd like to see considered include Mike Vrabel (young, played, lots of energy), Matt Patricia (young, Belichick tree), or coaches who fit that look. 

We can dream, right?
