Miami should be 4-1 right now, not a terrible loss.

It is a terrible loss. Rookie qb on the road coming off 3 in a row and you play like shit.

No one on the Bengals played that well but the coaching was AWFUL.

We as Bengal fans expect one of these every year. Team comes out flat and it just gets worse all game. Why does this always happen at home in front of the home crowd? Why would you want to show up and watch them lay an egg?

Amen. Lewis lost this game. We didn't. It was bad enough to not go for two. And then worse when he decided kick the FG when alls it would do is get them within one.

Kind of been Lewis's MO his entire tenure in Cincy. If the bengals owner wasn't so cheap, no way he'd have lasted as long as he has.

Nah he's been a good coach. Just a bad day today. Not many coaches have been able to succeed with Brown calling the shots

I measure coaches who have been at the helm that long by playoff wins. He's had two trips to the post season and a bunch of 8-8 seasons. I would rate him near the bottom of the league far as coaches go.
I'd agree with you about having a difficult owner to work with, cheap bastard didn't even have a scouting department until recently.

I've always though Lewis was overrated.Commander of Awesome;1289805 wrote:I measure coaches who have been at the helm that long by playoff wins. He's had two trips to the post season and a bunch of 8-8 seasons. I would rate him near the bottom of the league far as coaches go.

Where is Lewis' pay compared to others in the league? Wouldn't that pretty much indicate how high he is rated?

B-Scott may be done for the year w/ a Torn ACL.... He'd be the 3rd guy on the team this already this year

Not too worried. We have other guys who are more than capable of picking up that slack
