Marvin Lewis' anger and harsh words pierced the steel locker room doors at Paul Brown Stadium.
"If you don't want to be on the team, don't show up at 4 o'clock," Lewis yelled in a profanity-laced tirade toward his Bengals players following the 34-13 loss Monday night to New England.
The Bengals have a 4 p.m. team meeting today.
The Bengals (1-3), buried in last place in the AFC North, lost their third straight game and for the sixth time in their past seven games, dating to the three-game losing streak that ended 2006.
"I'm just as upset, obviously, as I can be," Lewis said in his postgame news conference. "Right now, we're finding a way to play not well enough to win.
"We're going to see who we're going to fight with. If we have to make changes, we'll make changes."
New England (4-0) used a balanced offense to keep the ball from Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer and his playmakers. New England had the ball for 37:24 and ran 66 plays to the Bengals' 51.
