Elky Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 To think this team could have had Mike Zimmer as their HC instead of Marvin Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJ Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Also, i'm not sure what good this really does. Yeah he wasn't cutting it. But the bigger problem is Marvin. It's finally time. They may yet back their way into the playoffs as the #6 seed, but they're not good. They've lost whatever edge they had a few years ago. Now they play the worst kind of Tressle-ball for the NFL. They play scared all the time, don't know when to put their foot on the pedal or take it off, etc. The list goes on. One of the more remarkable stats i've seen, btw. And that was before the Saints scored for the second time under two minutes before halftime. Also this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got hyped up a lot in Detroit The landscape of defenses has changed a lot in the last 2-3 years. The Bengals don't have the personnel to contend with top (or even mediocre) offenses in today's NFL. So maybe he can still coach a defense. But Cincinnati's defense is a dumpster fire, and Zimmer himself couldn't cure it if he walked in the door tomorrow.

They also left the same year, so if you're firing Marvin for one of them, you'd do it for Zimmer. Hey, at least they didn't decide to move on from Marvin for Hue Jackson a few years ago. That's a win, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Lol, this should be interesting. He hasn't coached a defense in about, what, 16 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like he knows he will meet the fate at end of the season so he needs to brush up some skill at calling defensive plays for his next destination.

No need to for him to go out and search for a coach when he has one that is always in the middle of the pack. unfortunately we are probably stuck with ole marv until the old man dies or something.. and even then Katie will take over and probably be the same way. Winning is secondary and not as important as the money. but at least they did something... lol whod ey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Don't worry, they're facing the Ravens this week and they'll likely post a shutout with about 8 sacks and everything will be forgotten...until they give up 500 more yards the next week.

FinSting Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Three straight games giving up 500 yards? I had no idea it was that bad for the Bengals. Of course that's the same defense that scored two defensive TD's vs Miami. OF COURSE IT WAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that if Lamar Jackson starts, he'll run for about 120 yards on these awful LBs and the Ravens will have no trouble scoring. If Joe starts, then yeah i think the Bengals will have a 1 week reprieve on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
