Who Took The Nasty Out Of Nati?

What is going on in Cincinnati? This 8-8 team is the same team that was completely revamped and revolutionized under Marvin Lewis and expected to make a Super Bowl run this year. Now they are taking weekly bus trips to the jailhouse to pick up whichever player has decided it was his turn to be found possessing marijuana, driving drunk, or resisting arrest. Marvin Lewis has a simple technique in drafting and picking up free agents. If they have the slightest bit of talent, they are worth every 2am bail in the world. Chris Henry spent more time behind bars in the offseason than Mike Tyson, and that scares me. On top of it all, an 8-6 team coming off a hot streak managed to lose back to back weeks via their special teams. So what is so special? A win in either game would have jettisoned them into the playoffs. Instead the combination of Brad St. Louis and Shayne Graham have instantly suspended the chance of post season play for awhile. Oh, and Marvin. Next time you decide to waste 2 timeouts late in the 4th quarter, you better make sure the rule change was initiated to give each team 10 a game. Even if the losing play against the Steelers was a defensive fault, I still find Marvin Lewis and Shayne Graham at fault for the loss. Am I wrong to think so? Well, I don’t think all the prison sentences in the world could change my mind.
