The Bengals finished 7-9 and finished in 3rd place in the AFC North which was a huge disappointment for the team.  Much of the blame has fallen on head coach Marvin Lewis, fair or not.  Too many thug like players are on the Bengals and they might need a new start like the Vikings started a couple of seasons ago when they rid themselves of the bad apples.  Marvin Lewis better win next season or he will likely be out of a job.  He has been the head coach of the Bengals for five seasons now and he has compiled a 42-38 (.525 %) record during the regular season and he’s 0-1 in the post season.
