I'm 31. If I'm lucky and live another 40-50 years I figure there might be a decent Bengals team in there or two. But Mike Brown could live another 20 years, there's really no reason to expect things to get any better any time soon.

I've been pretty patient with Marvin Lewis, but a real NFL team would have moved on by now. And if they hadn't then they'd fire him after a game like tonight, heading into a bye week after 3 losses in a row, in a season coming off a playoff appearance with young players. You'd reasonably expect improvement there, but instead the Bengals regress, as they quickly always do.

I turned it off 17-14, the wife was shocked! She wondered why I would go to bed with the team winning. I told her I knew the outcome already, and that the Bengals would find a way to lose somehow. The entire fan base is in a state of learned helplessness. We all have that Meh feeling these days.
