Both times they had the other team beat, but still found a way to just completely and thoroughly shit the bed. That wasn't Mike Brown's fault.
I'm honestly not sure which one is more upsetting. The 2013 loss should have ended Marvin's tenure here, thus making way for Mike Zimmer. The fact that Marvin stuck around after that game and Zimmer was allowed to walk off to Minnesota is still a punch in the gut. The 2015 loss against the Steelers is sickening for reasons already known to us, not the least of which is the fact that Marvin still had a job after it.
The Chargers game for me. There is no way we should have lost that game, and I drove to Cincy to watch it. The whole team, both sides of the ball, shit the bad that day. That's 100% Marvin Lewis's fault..... he should have been fired, or forced into taking a GM position, and Zimmer promoted to head coach.
