Completely agree.  It is 1000 times more likely that they will announce another one year extension.  Marvin is still owed another year, and we all know that MB is not likely to pay a person for a job he is not performing...

But sometimes, it's just not enough and a risk needs to be taken

Absolutely agree with everything here.  Hell, I still don't hate Palmer for helping us out of the doldrums, let alone Marv.  Eventually you have to take that next step though.

Lewis is maxed out, this meltdown is evidence of that. Disasters like this happen in year one, not thirteen.

It takes courage to change your status quo, and their conservative mantra could be completely getting in the way of that.

Bingo! The prize goes to jj2.

Exactly.  Eventually you have to realize that someone has taken you as far as they can.  Losing this game for me was not the final straw, it is the lack of discipline and the fact this same problem goes back almost his entire tenure.

Some times you just need to take the risk to get a reward. 
Seattle spent megabucks on a bad QB then benched him for Russell Wilson.
They took a shot on a coach who had mediocre at best NFL success before going to the college ranks for a decade. 

Risks need to be taken for rewards. 

What channel on I heart radio? I'm in Colorado, so I can't watch it on TV. Lord knows NFLN probably won't carry it live, they'll be talking about how awesome and just the Stealers win was...

I'm on the edge of my seat.

Hopefully Hill takes the offseason serious and comes back Ready to go.

It will be the first time announcement kind for the NFL.... a LIFETIME extension!

Mike Brown was rehearsing and accidentally referred to Lewis as "Benson"!!!

Blah blah blah .. Play better ..blah blah blah

Marvin gets a bonus for setting a NFL record - no coach has ever gone 0-7 in the playoffs.

Extended thru the 2025 season.

Is it Brown? I thought it was just Marvin?

And most likely, he'll just talk about how it was a team loss and they weren't healthy and how we'll be even betterer next year.

That would take a huge jump in maturity and a big change in his personality.  I think, after two years, we probably know who he is.

This press conference is utterly pathetic. No energy, no fire, just the usual tired slop.

Its the typical post game monday press conference.. talking about the game

Nothing to see here. On to next year.
