"Marvin is too conservative" babies almost cost us the game

The 4th and 1 on the ~35 to 40 yard line in the Pitt game was worth the risk because all a punt gets you is ~15 to 20 yards with the risk of a return cutting it even shorter with a bad defense that can't stop anything. Too long for a field goal, too short for a punt. Often called "No Man's Land."

The 4th and 1 today was in easy field goal range and was done with no real reason in my opinion.

I liked the aggressiveness. (And I loved the 2nd 4th down decision). The execution and reasoning was just a little off.

It was nice seeing the Bengals do something a little unlike them though.

This. I liked them both....need to get the offense rolling and go for the jugular after the shitty performance the week prior. I didn't necessarily like the play call on the first one, but I liked the decision.
