How the heck is Dalton supposed to put up 4th quarter numbers when they are playing full on prevent offense the whole second half every freaking game? This has happened basically every year Marvin has been here. You cant blame the OC because thats been a revolving door throughout Daltons career, but the one common factor is the HC. He does this every freaking game. It's almost better if they are losing at halftime so Marv doesnt go full on prevent offense. At least they have to run a few pass plays more than 10 yards down field when they are losing. Is it Dalton's fault that the coaches call run run pass punt every freaking drive in the second half when they are up? Is it his fault they are still running Hill with under 7 minutes to go when he's shown all game he cant get it done? LaFell was having a nice game and then the steelers adjusted and took him away. Why didnt the bengals counter and incorporate Eifert and Boyd more? They cant all be double covered. The steelers secondary is suspect at best anyways. I think Marvin is directly to blame for the struggles of 2016 just like the playoff struggles of years past. He's the common factor on this team. Look back to the bye week when Paulie wanted to get the young guys involved and Marv quickly shot that down. I think the coordinators probably do have a major part of running their units during game day, but they have a scheme that is approved by Marvin prior to the game and they dare not make changes/adjustments without Marvins decision first. He learned this formula first hand from his boss, Ol' Mikey Boy. Until he goes, so goes the woes of this team.
