You think Marvin is going to have a Belichick moment after 15 years of this crap. Any other coach probably would have their team fired up and ready to kick butt this Thursday but this is Marvin Lewis. He can't get a team ready for a season opener much less a Prime Time game in 4 days. I would not be surprised at all if we get shut out again. I'm dead serious, if we score at all it will be the D taking advantage of a rookie QB, but it won't be enough because that rookie will shrug it off and resume to his Joe Montana imitation just the same as every rookie a Marvin Lewis team plays. This coaching staff needs to be shakin up fast. No point in talking about any of the players performances if this coaching staff remains.
I didn't comment much yesterday, as I hadn't watched the game yet, but now; after I have, some observations:
1) Og was bad, but even the tv announcers couldn't understand not giving him help with Suggs; I don't get it either.
2) Dalton was indeed horrible, I don't see why when your starting QB doesn't "have it" you don't try a backup if just for that game.
3) Defense really wasn't bad, but no defense can stay on the field the whole game, Giants had the very same problem.
4) there's much more, but finally in a nutshell: How exactly is Marvin going to get a team fired up without talking to his players? I seen four quarters of the man with his headset on staring blankly at the field, and pretty much not speaking to anyone. No enthusiasm, no much deserved anger, just a 4 quarter blank look. I may be wrong about this, as I deleted it before I could bear to watch it again; but that's pretty much what I seen from both Marvin and the Jet's coach on Sunday. Anybody else notice this??
