I won't disagree that Mike has been a huge problem for years, but right now Marvin is worse.

Marv was the one that stuck with Ced O. when he was sucking royal ass...
Marv played ancient, plodding LBs over younger, faster options...
Marv sat Hunt, after he finally made some plays....
Marv ran MJ out there week after week when he was getting less pressure than PAs coaches shorts have in the seat...
Marv kept feeding Hill, when he only had success against Cleveland....
Those are all calls coming from the HC....I don't know who else could have been more at fault for this team's collapse.
This. Beat me to it.

In his opinion Marvin Lewis is a Super Bowl caliber coach stuck on a bottom of the barrel franchise. Hence the mixed results.
It was kind of nice, and frustrating at the same time, to finally confirm what I had always assumed.
I'm not calling you a liar or anything like that, but Marvin a "super bowl caliber coach"? In what universe is that even possible? Who exactly is your source and how biased are they in Marvin's favor?
Marvin has to be one of the worst (if not the worst) gameday coach in the league. We've all grumbled about his lack of halftime adjustments for years, mostly jokingly I thought. But he flat out confirmed it about a month ago. He's a cluelessness nitwit.
