After that terrible performance against us and Marvin saying he is done with the team, they decide to extend him for two years.

They won their last game and the bills made the playoffs.  So what is not to like?

Just proves that average is okay with Mike Brown.

That's good news for Vikings fans. Not because Lewis is a bad coach - I don't think he is - but it is one fewer team to potentially make zshurmur their HC.

I'm surprised their aren't riots in Cinicinnati.  Maybe they're skipping straight to mass suicides.

The ownership situation in Cincy is a different animal: it runs super lean. The Browns (owners) are insanely frugal. Lewis is a kept man and he runs the team like Mike Brown (and formerly his Dad, Paul Brown) want it run, on the cheap. Only a few people could work in that environment and not complain. 

This is why Lewis was brought back. He's a known and compliant employee.

Man, the ghost of Paul Brown still curses both franchises to this day.  Ol' Paul picked the color scheme in Cincinnati to mimic the Browns colors and that "Brown" (pun intended) stain has tainted both organizations indelibly.  What both organizations need is an exorcism, new mascots and colors and fire anyone with the surname of Brown.
