Fans have just seen the Bengals offense sputter out in the second half of games, so that's their evidence. The second half stats have been posted repeatedly on this board before, so I'm not going to go collect them all again.
Can it be 100% proven that the issue is Marvin being conservative compared to failed execution? Probably not, but fans have just visually observed the sputtering and believe it's Marvin's approach since it's been a trend for many years under Marvin.
Yes, we have had ous struggles in the second half the last couple of years, but it is not because we were too conservative. for example our in our epic second half meltdown against the Steelers this year we only ran the ball 6 times the entire second half.
And the same people who complain about marvin losing games by being too conservative in the second half also claim we lost the playoff game in '14 against the Chargers because we threw the ball too much in the second half.
it is nothing buty another message board myth.
