Here is what most fans don't understand.
It takes more than "demanding" to get something. You can cry, and hold your breath, and stomp your feet as much as you want, but that will not get you a single playoff win.
Andy Reid had proven that he was on of the best coaches in the league, but the Eagles fired him because the fans demanded something better. Now Reid is still in the playoffs while the Eagles are at home looking to start over.
No one here is satisfied with not winning a playoff game, but it takes more than just "demanding" a win to get one. If the team had came out flat and gotten blown out then I would be all for firing Marvin, but Marvin is the coach who had us ahead and in position to win until a fumble and some penalties gave it to the Steelers.
Before the game many fans were also demanding that the Bengals step up and answer the Steelers thuggish behavior with thuggish behavior of their own. Maybe we need to demand that these fans be removed.
