You guys don't even think about what you are saying anymore. You just keep repeating the same things over and over again even when they have nothing to do with what is being discussed.

Terrible playoff record. Terrible primetime record. Right around .500 vs rookie QBs. This is what being a conservative coach looks like. He plays not to lose. He doesnt have the edge necessary to get us any further.
You still don't get it. When you are trying to explain why a team loses the fact that they lose does not prove your point.
It would be like if someone claimed Marvin could not win because he was black and then to prove it say "Terrible playoff record. Terrible Prime time record. Right around .500 vs rookie QBs. That is what happens when you have a black head coach."
The fact is that Marvin is no more conservative than most other coaches in the NFL, but he does make the playoffs more often that most other coaches in the league.
We are certainly struggling in the fourth quarter this year, but it has nothing to do with being too conservative with a lead. Last year the Bengals were 8th in the league in fourth quarter scoring despite having a lead in most games. Since Dalton arrived in '11 the Bengals have finished in the top half of the league in second half scoring every year except 2014 when they barely missed (19th). Pretty amazing since most people claim that the Bengals are incapable of making half time adjustments.
