It was easily the right call and he cannot be blamed for Hill's **** up. I have no doubt McCarron, Hue, and Marvin all stressed ball security in that situation.
Taking the knee is extremely stupid when you have a chance to ice the game. Obviously, don't go too risky with throwing the ball or anything, but try to pick up ten yards in three runs where you tell the RB to hold onto the everloving **** out of the ball.
Exactly. If we take a knee and miss the FG, Marvin would still be criticized if the Steelers win.
Or worse, we kick the FG and score a TD. Then on the Steelers drive (provided the get a touchback), they have to go 80 yards and have 1:30 or more to do so, and they do get the TD. People would be going ape over Marvin not trying to end the game with 3 run attempts.
