Terrell Owens blames Bengals coaches for bad season

[Auggie]

AP / December 15, 2010

CINCINNATI -- Receiver Terrell Owens says the Cincinnati Bengals' lousy season is the result of underachieving "from the top down," and he particularly points a finger at the coaches.

Teammate Chad Ochocinco asked Owens during "The T.Ocho Show" on Versus cable network Tuesday night why he thinks the team is 2-11.

Oh boy... talk about opening Pandora's box.

"I think there's underachieving from the top down," Owens said. "You start with the owner, you start with the coaches. And obviously we as players, we are a product of what the coaches are coaching us throughout the course of the week.

"Of course, we have to go out there and play the game. But in order for us to do what we're allowed to do at the best of our abilities, the coaches have to put the players in the best position."

4. Looks like the repukes have found their next Lynn Swann clone

5. I don't think he's wrong in this case.

The Bengals coaching has been horrific this year.

T.O. will be playing next year.

6. Maybe...

but as a coach I wouldn't want this loud-mouth on my team.

7. So who's selling "It's All TO's Fault" t-shirts at the next Bengals home game?

Somebody should make some quick cash out of this one.

8. How does Marvin Lewis still have his job?

8 seasons, 2 years over .500, 2 playoff appearances with no wins, players getting arrested all the time, and all this with some pretty good talent.

9. Because he does whatever MB tells him to do?

I don't think Marvin will be around next year but who in the hell would want to coach in Cincy as long as Mike Brown is pulling all the strings?
