Say what you want of Steve Smith but at least he does most things behind closed doors

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

During "The T.Ocho Show" with teammate Chad Ochocinco on the Versus cable sports network Tuesday night, he was asked why the Bengals are 2-11. They've lost 10 in a row, tying the club record.

Owens responded that "you start with the owner, you start with the coaches" when assessing blame. He also said the players are only doing what the coaches allow them to do.

TO just does not like playing in the NFL does he? what are you like on your 5-6 team and your still calling out owners and coaches? good luck with your forced retirement

[mav1234]

TO running the wrong routes could be making Palmer throw some of those picks. TO will be on ESPN next year.

UFL here he comes!

You guys are nuts, he's still a top 5 WR and will be playing again next year. Even as miserable as the Bengals are, TO is producing.

6th in catches, 6th in yards, 5th in TDs, 8th in yards/game, 7th in 20+, 7th in 1st Downs

well aren't the coaches getting him the ball? truth be told, most of their problems are w/ the QB.

TO has generally produced on the field and off. On the field he can make some nice highlight reels. Off the field, he likes to produce media firestorms and distractions.

I'm just saying, I think that when a team is that bad, the blame lies on the players as well, the same way it does here.

[Jangler]

he's down to the Raiders....

[Panthro]

How about when he punches people? TO is a breath of fresh air

How about when he punches people? TO is a breath of fresh air

Or when he throws his QBs under the bus. LOL

As for TO...you made that bed, Cincinnati. You sleep in it. My Rams needed WRs in the worst way this season. They said no thank you and they could be looking at 8-8 this year.

Who you bring in your clubhouse matters. A lot. Panthers learned that lesson with Keyshawn.

Mike Brown is an awful owner.
