Open Letter to Marvin Lewis: Cut the Crap! Your Team Sucks! Admit It!

Dear Marvin Lewis,

Your bull is getting old. I know you think the people here in Cincinnati are still buying what you are selling (they've been doing it for a while) but it isn't working anymore. You have officially brought the franchise back to their 1990s selves.

During a post game interview, you said that the team did a good job against the run ... aside of the two big runs that went for TDs. That's like saying "aside from not being funny, Larry the Cable Guy is a good comedian".

Baltimore ran the ball for 229 yards. Yeah, aside from the 42 and 38 yard runs ... you only gave up 149 yards rushing.

Baltimore got the ball with the lead and 7:15 left in the game. The Ravens ran out the clock (10 of the 11 plays were runs). Unbelievable.

Baltimore had the ball for 36:15 to Cincy's 23:45. You don't hold onto the ball like that if you can move the chains on the ground.

Baltimore converted on 9-of-17 third downs.

Baltimore's offensive line has been patched together. One of their linemen was cut by you last week.

Bengals' 2007 Preview: Put Up Or Shut Up

To get you ready for the season, FanHouse is previewing all 32 NFL teams. Here's Cincinnati's outlook.

2006 Record: 8-8

2006 Offense: Carson Palmer was coming back from a knee injury and looked pretty darn good. Rudi Johnson continued his record setting running for the Bengals. Chad Johnson led the league in receiving yards; TJ Houshmandzadeh was 16th [they were 11th and 7th, respectively, in receptions]. Yet the team really bogged down at times.

2007 Defense: They had the third worst defense ... including the worst pass defense in the NFL. They did a decent job getting to the opposing QB and a great job forcing turnovers. However, they are a hard hitting team that doesn't cover well. Of course, injuries and 'other things' contributed to this. Brian Simmons struggled with injuries, David Pollack was lost for the year in Week 2 and Odell Thurman never even saw the field.
