What? Are you smoking crack? 6-11 now in their last 17......having a good QB and an All-Pro receiver doesn't make you a good team. This team was lit up for 51 points by Cleveland.

"Marvin Lewis' job is not in trouble"

Yeah....sure. His problem was he turned them around early and created expectations. He's supposed to be a defensive guru and this team can't tackle anybody.

"Will this team go 16-0" (Kornheiser asking Jaworski). Instead of answering, which is what he's paid to do, Jaws stammered and said.....ah I don't know. Would it be difficult to say, no they have very little chance of going 16-0 (which IS a fact)? Jaws is pretty good in his analysis but he dropped the ball there.
3 men in a booth.

i've never understood the concept. mnf has often suffered with this disease.

you have a play by play guy. a color guy.

and a 3rd wheel.

for some reason they want us to suffer through the observations of someone unqualified to be the best color commentator on the broadcast.

pick the best one. dump the other.

you just improved your broadcast.
