Over the past 3 seasons, the Bengals have been an embarrassment to this fan base. While other teams are innovating and aggressively upgrading their rosters through the draft, free agency, and trades; the Bengals are not-so-slowly falling behind.
Head coach Marvin Lewis is taking a lot of heat and fans are understandably calling for his termination. Allowing the game to pass him by over the last few years has blinded people to what Lewis accomplished in Cincinnati. He did some very impressive things, with an unimpressive franchise, but with every awful season that goes by he tarnishes his own legacy.
