Yep. And unfortunately it is becoming more and more apparent. Last night took the cake for me. We didn't adjust to what Denver was doing, period.

It just pisses me off that they tried to hang on and didn't open it up. Marvin Lewis has no balls. When Denver changed their philosophy in the 3rd quarter we should have gone to a hurry up to keep them off guard. Of course that doesn't play into "trying not to lose" philosophy Marvin loves rather than going for the jugular.

And that's my biggest beef with Marvin. If we get a lead he plays the conservative field position game with his offense thinking that the defense will shut them down. All this does is play into the opponent and turns time of possession in their favor, thus wearing down your own team.

For years I've been a Marvin Lewis apologist but I've seen enough. He coaches scared. No way with the talent they have on offense should they not attack all game. And that's on him as the head man. Ever see NE play conservative? Nope. Marvin is weak, pure and simple, and that's why his prime time and playoff game records are pathetic. Sadly, I see the same thing happening again this year in the playoffs - and it shouldn't with this team.
