It's a relationship. Kind of like a marriage. You have good days and bad days.
It's Marvin and Mike. Or perhaps we should say it's Mike and Marvin.
The Chickster thinks they have big time troubles.
"I don't know if it's repairable," says the Bengals beat man for the Dayton Daily News.
Chick thinks it's over Chris Henry. I say the foundation goes back to not making the playoffs since '05.
"There is a wedge between them. It's a carnival atmosphere down there."
Chick believes that since Marvin made it obvious and really strong that he didn't want Chris Henry back, and the owner shoves the wide out on him, it's something that might not be repaired.
Remember this, Bengal fans have a habit of worrying so much about their own problems that they forget the rest of the world might be hurting.
The Browns look so bad in pre-season the Romeo is threatening to play the starters in the final tuneup until they look good.
The Ravens have no QB. Boller hurt. Smith hurt. Joe Flacco too green. They might just go with the green because John Harbaugh is in his first year and can live with the rookie mistakes because he is on his honeymoon.
And, who out there loves the Steelers offensive line ?
There are problems all over the division. Not just in Cincy.
Bengals radio network starts at 5:35 tonight.
I agree with Chickster on the Mike/Marvin relationship. Given the fact that Mikey boy has endured and rode out head coaching contracts during the "Bengals AP(after Paul) era, that there's no way that Mike is going to let the only coach with a winning record during his pathetic reign, just walk or let go and pay him to NOT coach the Bengals. I think that ever since the "Chad incident" in the playoff game vs the Steelers, and soon after all the off field problems, that Mike felt he needs to input his lack of football knowledge into a franchise that was getting back to respectability. Now, Marvin is feeling what the fans in Bengaldom, and the previous head coaches have felt for too long. Mike Brown has inserted himself into the day to day "football" operations and now has twice "trumped" his once trusted head coach. My question is where has Katie girl been to talk some sense into Mikey boy like she did in the hiring process of Marvin??????????
