Are the Bengals About to Implode?

Following Monday night's somewhat embarassing 34-13 loss to the best CHEATERS in professional sports, The New England Partriots, images of the Bengals demise began to be broadcast all over the sports world. Scenes of Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson sniping at each other and reports of head coach Marvin Lewis loudly dressing down his team for being selfish.

What else is new? If the Bengals want to win, the front office must step up and remove the cancers from this team chalked full of talent. Some Bengals players are selfish, and too bad Chad Johnson, but you are the #1 culprit. All you seem to care about is how much attention can be focused on you - period!


Carson Palmer doesn't appear to do the things you do? Nor does T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Rudi Johnson, or many, many other of your teammates. Why you? You are a great athlete but not a great team player.


Now many people including yourself can say, "How could I possible know what kind of team player you are!" Guess what? I don't know what kind of a team player you are, but ESPN sure loves to give me strong ideas though. You are a publicity stunt artist. A Terrell Owens wannabe, if you will.


Chris Henry will be able to comeback in four more games. Wow, then what happens?


The Bengals are faced with a bye week this Sunday. My suggestion is that Marvin Lewis had better get control of his team or else they are going to stay in the basement of what is turning out to be a weak AFC North Division.


The Cincinnati Bengals front office I am sure, has begun assessing the situation when it comes to their head coach and his ability to not only control his team but get them to actually listen and respond to his authority. But then again, it is the Bengals we are talking about nd ever since the Pittsburgh Steelers sent them packing in the playoffs two years ago they've never really been the same. Ever since that game the Bengals are 9-11.


The Bengals season is on the brink. They have a week to get their act together and respond to their critics, and in the process save their season and their coach's job. Chad Johnson has come out publicly and said the interception that cost them the game Monday night was his fault. Hey Chad, that's a start.
