Bratkowski is gone......Mikey Brown and Marvin cut him loose after 10 years. Why? The offense was doing so well under the Bratter. Two rumors that are noteworthy. Rumor 1.... the Bengals will bring in, as candidates for the offensive coordinator, none other than two former coaches by the names of Bruce Coslet and Dave Shula. Brown referred to their innovative play calling as head coach and their dedication to a winning tradition.

Rumor 2......Marvin Lewis and Mikey Brown have made the Super Bowl mandatory viewing for all Bengal players. Concentration will be on studying the Steelers. The purpose of the exercise to to instill a winning attitude and to learn the basics of the game of football such as helmet placement- opening facing forward and where to stand during the game. (sidelines-preferably your side of the field) Emphasis for Carsy Palmer will be to identify a player on the field to throw the ball to-preferably one in the same uniform as his. This may take a little longer to correct than the other issues. The defensive coordinator will be instructed to re-educate the defense to correct the constant problem of tackling while looking out the earhole of the helmet. Again, helmet placement has been an issue with the defense as well. ]]> Mon, 31 Jan 2011 14:42:19 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=25237&title=bengals-playoff-win#25237 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=25167&title=bengals-playoff-win#25167 Author: VietVet

Now what randy ann? Carsy wants to go.....Mike B. says no. Carsy says he'll retire if Brown won't trade him. Brown is calling Carsy's bluff on the retirement thing. Back in Carsy's corner. ]]> Tue, 25 Jan 2011 10:13:29 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=25167&title=bengals-playoff-win#25167 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=25142&title=bengals-playoff-win#25142 Author: randy

I say bye bye bye Carson. Get rid of a few more and we may have a chance for a decent football team. ]]> Sun, 23 Jan 2011 19:32:49 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=25142&title=bengals-playoff-win#25142 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=25139&title=bengals-playoff-win#25139 Author: VietVet

randy sue and Hermes.....looks like your boy Carsy Palmer is gone. Doesn't want to play for the Bengals anymore. ESPN is reporting that he wants a trade or he'll retire. Hey, maybe his brother will be the starting QB next year. ]]> Sun, 23 Jan 2011 15:48:20 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=25139&title=bengals-playoff-win#25139 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=24647&title=bengals-playoff-win#24647 Author: VietVet

I'd prefer to be Director of the towel boys for the players if you guys don't mind. or, in charge of gathering up the empty Gatorade bottles during and after the game. Maybe a Supervisors slot or Asst. DIErectors slot on that, you think? Heck, I wouldn't mind the job of getting Mike Brown his snacks and drinks during the game. I'm thinking a GM position on that for $250,000/year. 10/4? I'd go for Director of assessing the talent for this team but there isn't any to evaluate. Would be a dead-end job with no hope. ]]> Fri, 07 Jan 2011 18:25:12 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=24647&title=bengals-playoff-win#24647 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=24641&title=bengals-playoff-win#24641 Author: Hermes

I'll flip you for the head coaches job...call it....you won.

 

We could do it Randy ! I have some plays I've been itching to try on offense.

 

If we take over think we should bring in Vet as water boy ?

OK, saw Mike Brown and Marvy Lewis on the sports portion of the news last night. Mercy is Mikey Brown one boring individual when he speaks. Sounded more like a eulogy for a funeral than a press conference. Looks like Marvin will be here at least another two years. Changes are coming in player personnel and in coaching but nothing in the front office was mentioned. Mike Brown seemed to indicate that things were humming along with his team. Total denial of reality from the owner. Marvin still doesn't look happy. Don't think Brown will give him the control he wants and needs to make it a success.

Easier schedule for next year. Alot of weak teams to play. They should go at least 8 and 8 with the easy schedule of losing teams. I can just hear the fans yelling "Super Bowl baby!" Comical (and sad to see so many people out of touch with reality)]]> Wed, 05 Jan 2011 06:39:11 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=24594&title=bengals-playoff-win#24594 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=24529&title=bengals-playoff-win#24529 Author: randy

Bring back Dave Shula! Bring back Brucie Coslet......Dick LeBeau! Give 'em another chance! Marvin's got them right there at 4 and 12. That would be where they were during the Coslet, Shula, LeBeau days, right? And, they would be cheap and that would make Mike Brown happy!

I think LeBeau would rather stay in Pittsburgh as Defensive Coordinator. That's his niche. Not as head coach. ]]> Fri, 31 Dec 2010 10:08:12 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=24528&title=bengals-playoff-win#24528
