I know this isn't Bearcat-related, but I'm sure most people are are having similar thoughts.
If I'm Mike Brown, and, thankfully, I'm not, I'm telling Marvin to either get new coordinators and replace half the coaching staff, or resign. The Bengals/49ers game is currently at the start of the third quarter, and the Bengals defense is absolutely infuriatingly bad. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist or even a football coach to figure out why: they don't finish. Ever. They hit their man, then forget to wrap him up, or they cover their receiver well until the ball gets there, then they give up a step. If you ask me, the Bengals defense could use a trip to Nippert to watch how the Bearcats do it.
On the other hand, the Bengals offense is confused, primarily because the coordinating is terrible. If your running game is largely impotent, why is every single play run from the I-formation!? You're not fooling anyone, Bob. Carson's going to pass, and if he doesn't, Rudi's going to gain two yard. Either run Watson and Dorsey more (and they really should) or run the offense from the gun. The Bengals, for the time being, are a passing team, they ought to play like it.
God, this is frustrating. Of course, Mike won't do jack about it, and the Bengals are going to have just one more winning season before my great-great-grandchildren die.
