Long over due, he has handi-capped this team for far too long. I blame him for not making a play off run this season. Too much talent not be a top 10 Offense.

Too bad Mike Brown isn’t smart enough to fire himself. He’s the root of the problem.

So when will they get to the heart of the matter and fire the owner?

A few years overdue. I wonder if this lures Carson back into the fold? Let go of Chad and let Simpson, Caldwell, Shipley, and Gresham run the field. Carson looked good against San Diego…

“Too much talent not be a top 10 Offense.” What a laughable statement from a hopeless, Mike Brown lapdog, Kool Aid guzzling Sheep. What talent? The best WR was a cancerous and aged head case that NO OTHER NFL TEAM WANTED. The O-line was literally populated with practice squad players. The QB has never physically recovered from injuries. This offense, and this entire team, is literally talent starved….which explains no representation on the ProBowl sqaud. Firing Brat is an inconsequential stunt, like rearranging deck chairs on the Titantic. That some Sheep are lapping it up just makes Bungle watching even funnier, which I didn’t think was possible. I love the Sheep’s confused Agony. May the Agony of the Sheep endure forever.

Good move but the owner still has much to do with the performance of any team. The Bengals lost many games this past season from fundamental mistakes not from a lack of talent. Look how many games were lost by one score. I do feel the Bengals will never be great as long as Brown is the owner. If I ever give up on the Bengals I will stop watching the NFL entirely.

OK, so I now live in KY (former Ohio resident) and don’t get to see all the games, but whenever I looked, Palmer was making a horrible play near the end of the game and the bengals would lose it. he should go.

This is probably a good move, but not a cure-all. Carson’s desire to leave was no doubt a non-personal statement to get rid of Bratkowski. I wish Marvin would be going with him. The egos on this team demands serious changes of management from the top down. The problem is, who would come to Cincinnati? The Bengal’s fans have, for the most part, been extremely loyal, and deserves a competitive team. Never has an NFL team done so little with so much. It all trickles down to the coaching staff…period!

Slightly Right is more than slightly Sheepish. Mike Brown laughs as you Kool Aid drinkers enable him. NO PRO BOWL SELECTIONS. That’s unprecendented. The talent pool on this team is putrid. Coaching has been, and continues to be, irrelevent with the Bungles. They’re overmatched on the O and D Lines and their skill players are virtual laughingstocks. The Sheep are confused. The rest of the NFL merely laughs at Mike Brown’s Three Stooges Show. May the Agony of the Sheep endure forever.

Slightly Right, you never seem to get anything right. I’m a longtime Browns hater. And the world has never been better. Mike Brown and his Sheep keep getting more and more humiliated every year. I join the vast majority of the NFL fan base in enjoying the comedy of Mike Brown’s idiocy, and the agony of the Sheep who whine in confusion. It’s far funnier than Three Stooges reruns and makes life incredibly joyful. May the Agony of the Sheep endure forever.

I can’t believe all this anti-negativity.Mikey Boy is playing the fans and the city of Cincinnati for fools (which they are).He throws out a bone once a year to quiet the snarling fans and it works.As long as Mikey is owner nothing will change.So sit back relax and watch the steelers whip the Pack.

I think Trooper Hook may have a “Sheep Fetish”. I am, and will continue to be, a Bengals fan since I attended their first training camp at Wilmington College in 1967. I have already broken my 2011 New Years resolution about arguing with a fool, because a third party can’t distinguish Who’s Who.

why sipport a team with an owner that never gives them all of what they need to be successful? i dont understand why people would spend their money to see the bengals when the owner is tryin to do it on da cheap!theres a reason why nobody wants most of the players that end up on their roster. go eagles!

As a Cowboy fan who watches the owner be too involved in player/coaching decisions, I feel for you guys…. I’m not sure which is worse, having an owner who thinks he is a football guru when he’s not, and can buy a winner with no regard for team chemistry or coaching leadership…. Or, having one who thinks he has his dads football operation/planning/player evaluation skills and tries to do it on a shoestring budget?…. I’m not sure there’s been a worse 1st round drafting team in the last 20 yrs than you guys…. I feel for ya, we Cowboy fans are getting into the “wait till next year” rut as well…. And for similar reasons of ownership ego.

It is about time they got rid of the worst offensive cooridinator in the league. Now maybe Mike Brown will spend some money on a scouting department and GM this team might be able to become a winner. Heck he could hire me to be a GM for cheap, 100G’s a year and I could take this team to the promised land.

This story is and will be as irrelevent as hiring and firing Dave Shula. This is not a serious organization and it doesn’t have serious NFL players. The amazingly untold story is the legions of gullible sheep in this area that drink the Kool Aid that this sordid organization is just a player or coordinator or coach away from being legit. It’s simply a dismal Three Stooges comedy act. The Sheep enable Mike Brown. But they give many of us joy with thier idiocy. I hope the laughs continue for a lifetime. Let the Agony of the Sheep endure forever.

After all my comments, I will admit that I like to look at the Oline bent over. I’ve asked them several times if they’d let me into the locker room to sniff the players jock straps. I’m mostly salty because I was cut from my schools kick ball squad and I’m a puny turd.

The screaming of the anguished Sheep continues. Is this a great country or what? Mike Brown is a laughingstock failure by every NFL measuring stick, but his gullible and enabling Sheep scream and cry in denial. Yep, a different OC will really help, as the Bungle O-line and D-line gets humiliated again and again and again. That’s the line Mikey wants you to believe. So keep defending this sorry Three Stooges Act and keep sending your money to Mike Brown. He gets corporate welfare, and the rest of the NFL, and its sane fans, gets to continue to laugh at the insanity of the confused sheep. It’s indescribably funny, and seemingly will go on for years.

Stop all the crying. We (the Bengals) will play a last-place schedule, just like the Steelers did)and end up division champs for the 3rd time in 7 years. Enough said. You want to complain, why is the offensive line coach still here?
