Fourth down TD hurts

Sammy Morris ran seven yards for a touchdown on fourth-and-1, increasing New England's lead to 24-7.

Morris ran left -- where safeties Dexter Jackson and Herana-Daze Jones and defensive end Robert Geathers -- had the play strung out. But Morris cut back inside and clear to the end zone.

The score capped an eight-play, 81-yard drive that ate 4:07.

With 7:55 remaining in the third quarter, New England now leads 24-7.

New England has had the ball 22:53. Morris has run 17 times for 110 yards.

Marvin Lewis should be fired.

6 - 11 and counting going back one year. An already terrible defense is a laughing stock as players limp off the field one after another.

Special Teams is a disaster.

Shane Graham stinks. Missed field goal against Pittsburg. Kicks the ball out of bounds against Seattle.

Who cares about a field goal when the game is lost. Niel Rackers could make those.

Here comes the Defense!!

I'm tired of Marvin Lewis. The same old defense has been put on the field for 4 straight years. This teams consistently makes the same mistakes over and over and over.....No leadership from the coach's position results in inconsistent, mentally weak, and shoddy play. It's time to look for a new captain of the ship.
