I was hoping for a better Bengal outcome... A playoff victroy for them should not be this difficult.. especially at home in the cold wet rain. The boys from warm So-Cal got it done today..

Not a Bengals fan, but my wife's family is, so for what it's worth...
I've not been a fan of the idea of firing Marvin Lewis, but it's clear he has to go. I know he's not throwing ridiculous interceptions or dropping passes or fumbling, but it's clear he's not preparing his team to play its best when it needs to. Dalton was bad (again), Green was bad (again) but ultimately it falls on Lewis.

I can be quoted as being a Lewis supporter over the years but today's loss put's me in agreement with you.
You only fire Lewis if you promote Zimmer to head coach, but Andy Dalton is the reason for this underachievement.

You'd think so. He's a fine coach and it would be deserved. But you never know. He'd be a good hire in Cleveland or Washington, places that are kind of a mess. Do you think he'd get another head coach gig right away? He's been a head coach for so long... would someone bring him in as a defensive coach?

He's always reminded me of the NFL's version of Bruce Pearl. Just roll the ball out there and see what happens, and if you're down and need adjustments made, it's not going to happen.

What, me worry?
I have to agree that it is time for Lewis to go. Some of the decisions he made throughout this season were at best baffling. Today was no exception. Even the Cincy post game show guys were questioning a few of his calls today.
And yes, Dalton did not help Lewis' cause.

I'll agree with the first part of this. Zimmer will make a pretty good NFL head coach in the very near future. I'd prefer it to be in Cincinnati.
Dalton sucked today, but part of the reason was the lack of time he had. The Bengals OL was dominated, there were a couple of key drops, and if Bernard doesn't fumble late in the second quarter it's a different game. The Bengals offense was rolling at that point. It was an all-around poor effort by a lot of key players.

Only if you look at it from the idea of someone who's been around for a while and isn't as successful.
Luckman in 1948 was in his last full year, as injuries were starting to mount. The Bears had Bobby Layne and Johnny Lujack waiting in the wings, and both got a decent amount of playing time even though the offense went nowhere with them. The season-killing loss at the end to the Chicago Cardinals and the two close games were with Lujack and/or Layne at the helm, while the offense was moving like crazy with a past-his-prime Luckman.
I'm in agreement that Dalton has to go in Cincy. The big question though, is who is available that is better? That's why I think you'll see Dalton under center in Cincinnati next year.

Relax; it's not like we're asking Keith Jackson or Curt Gowdy or Joe Buck to call those games.

How about Al Derogatis, Paul Christman, and George Ratterman?
