Upon occasion, Bengals left tackle and unofficial spokesman Andrew Whitworth will deliver an address on the state of the team. As the team's losing streak stretched to four games last week, he took advantage of the opportunity to call out his honest feelings on the state of the locker room.

His message? It's time for the Bengals to stop pointing fingers.

From his angle, that includes coach Marvin Lewis, offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, the players and on down the line.

“Seems like every week we are saying that this person needs to do this and this person needs to do this,” the seven-year pro said. “What needs to happen is we need to go win a football game. I've heard Marvin, I've heard Jay, I've heard all these people trying to point to people that need to do things. We need to go win a football game and stop worrying about who we are trying to say needs to do something, and start worrying about the team going out winning a game.”

The most notable finger-point came last week when Marvin Lewis said QB Andy Dalton and LB Rey Maualuga need to “take the team by the back of the neck,” while also stating they needed to increase their leadership and be “more of a dick.”

Players seemed to rally around Dalton and Maualuga with reportedly one of the most intense weeks of practice all season and a game where they held a lead in the fourth quarter on Peyton Manning and the red-hot Broncos.

Yet, the 31-23 defeat produced the fourth loss in a row and inevitable criticism of those to blame for the defeat. Whitworth has clearly grown tired of the cycle.

“It's about putting a complete game together,” Whitworth said. “If we go out and score a touchdown, score it, defensively make the stop and offensively put the game away in the four minute and it will be a won football game and we won't have to worry about whose fault did what.”
