If that report is to be believed it just further illustrates the level of frustration festering in that locker room. The other piece of that report mentioned the amount of leash that Dalton has and that it may not be as long as some may think. CK isn't a realistic option midseason but if Dalton goes up to Lambeau and lays yet another egg he may be forcing a move sooner than we thought.

The situation was untenable even by Mike Brown standards. Something had to give and easy fix is to can Zampese. What a total miss at the OC job. I remember years ago when he was QB coach that there was worry when he would interview for OC positions elsewhere. Ironic.

I'm with Jason. Love this pick. Adds something completely unique to this offense. I couldn't argue Allen or even Foster (who i wanted). He's going to be so much fun to watch. WHO DEY?!?

Thanks for digging that up - other than the scoreboard I just don't see it around the stadium. This is coming from a Cincy transplant living in NY for last 14 years, so there you go.

Bit of a stretch there but I take your point. Green Bay is a complete outlier with there ownership model. While I don't necessarily agree with all the amenities and features at stadiums this is the reality. Not everyone who goes to games wants to sit and watch the entire thing. They roam around, eat/drink and generally socialize.

Here's an idea - how about Mike Brown dumps a dollar into PBS in renovations/upgrades. Didn't the city have to pay for the new HD scoreboard? I was at a game a year or two ago (field level) in a bar area and they had CRT TVs strapped up hanging from walls. Pretty embarassing stuff. Yes, I know, you're there to watch the game but if teams are trying to lure fans out to spend money for a stadium experience transporting them back to 1999 ain't gonna do it. Look at GABP - team constantly dumps money into that stadium. Built around same time but one owner understands the stadium experience and the other not so much.

Correction : we haven't had ANY halftime adjustments with Marvin. Said it as we went into halftime. Even if we had the lead going into half, the game would be won/lost in the locker room b/c you knew the Pats would change it up dramatically. We just appeared completely hapless in 2nd half again. That said, we have some players that are completely stealing checks out there. We saw Cedric replaced and let's not stop there. Sent from my iPhone using Go-Bengals.com

The root problem here is this organization can consistently be outcoached, outschemed, and outmaneuvered. It's not a one off, happens time and again. We come into this week looking to emphasize the run. First drive, we pound it for a score. Then we just keep going back to it so predictably. We weren't really gashing them after the first drive. Would love to get Gio the ball in space. The one time we do it's a great play and easy first down but it's not a point of emphasis. The offense feels a bit scatter brained and that's typical with a first year coordinator but Zampese has been with us long enough Where one would think we could have maintained some continuity. Long year, think they can still turn it around and will but rough way to start.

I'd agree with the above. I think if we are deep into regular season and the Vikings are 12-3 and looking at a deep playoff run you may be able to capitalize on the circumstance. However, so much of what the Vikings had going for them was predicated on Bridgewater being healthy. Could be a lost season for them. Looks like Bridgewater dislocated his kneecap, tore ACL, as well as other ligament damage. Terrible injury. Hope he can fully recover.
