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.
You can keep telling yourself (and us) that you need to get more physical and execute better and all the crap that losing coaches say on Sunday nights and Monday afternoons. I know you don't believe it. I want you to know that we don't either.
Marvin, I just want you to let loose just once. Just tell all of us the truth and that this team is going down the toilet. Stop acting like a teenager trying to lie to his parents about why he broke curfew.
Just like your players and your owner ... we're not listening to you anymore.

Marvin Lewis is not fully to blame here. They need to work on the quality of players that they already have. Also, Chris Henry should have never, and I mean never been brought back, what are they thinking. Yeah he is talented, but his antics are way to dramatic for what he produces. Come on, in 4 years, the most this guy ever produced was a 605 yard season and people talk about him like the next coming of Jerry Rice. I say listen to coach and put Henry's career out of it's misery.

Where have the scouts been drafting for new talent? In the prison systems of america? The Bungles have been watching too many "longest yard" movies.... Ha Ha Ha.

The Ravens offensive line was put together in a plan. It obviously stumped your already stumped defense.
Marvin is a nice guy. It is unfortunate that he landed in Cincinnati.
