wondering: Is this his farewell to Cincinnati? ”I guess everybody’s writing me off Dwayne Allen Jersey ,” Lewis said, after his Bengals rallied for a 26-17 win over Detroit on Sunday. Well, pretty much. The Bengals (6-9) won their final game of the season at Paul Brown Stadium. Lewis and his team have one more left Sunday at Baltimore. Then Lewis’ fate will be decided after 15 seasons in Cincinnati that included some of the franchise’s best regular-season performances but no playoff win. Lewis is 0-7 in the postseason, the worst mark in NFL coaching history. After a six-win season last year, he and owner Mike Brown weren’t able to agree on a contract extension beyond 2017. Brown said he’d wait to see how the season turned out. It’s been even worse than last year in many respects. Attendance is way down – Paul Brown Stadium was half-empty Sunday – and the Bengals got blown out in back-to-back games before rallying against the self-destructing Lions (8-7) . ”This season was not the season we expected,” Lewis said. ”We do this to be world champions – to have an opportunity to be world champions. Anything short of that is a failure, and this year we failed to get there.” His players know all about Lewis’ tenuous position. Lewis has denied reports that he doesn’t want to return Womens Vincent Valentine Jersey , but has been otherwise cryptic, saying it’s not appropriate to discuss his job until the season ends. ”We can’t control what’s going to happen,” receiver A.J. Green said. ”Coach Lewis has been here for a long time, and he’s always handled it the right way.” There wasn’t much reaction from the small crowd when Lewis’ name was announced as part of the pregame team introductions. He didn’t show any extra emotion about the game. ”Emotional?” Lewis said, laughing. ”Why? Do you know something I don’t know?” The win ended Cincinnati’s streak of three straight dismal losses, momentarily salving the sting of the Bengals’ second straight losing season. ”We have a lot to play for, too – the logo on our jersey and name on our backs http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-danny-shelton-jersey ,” said Giovani Bernard, who ran for 116 yards and the clinching touchdown in the closing minutes. ”That was Marvin’s message to us every day.” — The Patriots gave up a 2nd and 3rd round pick to get the CB from Vanderbilt."WhitePatriots News Opinion and Analysis Contribute!

Here’s a look at why they did it. 1. He was the best player on their boardThe Patriots were reportedly thinking about taking Williams at 32, so it made all the sense in the world for them to come up and get him in the first half of the second round. 2. His ceiling is Richard ShermanIs he going to be Richard Sherman? Probably not. But that’s his ceiling. He Derek Rivers Jersey , like Sherman, was a wide receiver in college before switching to cornerback. He’s a big bodied corner at 6’4 who can get physical with bigger receivers and tight ends — and with the way the league is trending, you can’t have enough of those guys.Pats Pulpit reacts to the Joejuan Williams pickSubscribe to the Pats Pulpit podcast for more draft reactions!3. The Patriots needed to shed some picksThe Patriots had 11 more picks when the draft started today. They have no place to put all those guys, so they needed to get rid of some of them. Look for them to possibly make another move up, or trade for a veteran or a pick next year. 4. The depth isn’t fantastic in this draftWhen you look at the players that would be available at 101, it doesn’t exactly excite you. Clearly, there will be a few stars that get drafted later Womens Cordarrelle Patterson Jersey , or don’t even get drafted at all, but the overall depth isn’t great, so trading up doesn’t hurt as much this year. 5. Because Bill can’t help himselfBelichick has made a trade in every draft since 2001, and he wasn’t planning on letting another night go by without making a trade. Yet another Patriots streak remains intact.
