2. Even if Marvin had beaten the Jets in '09 you would still be calling for him to be fired right now. 3. If he wins just one playoff game next year all they same guys will want him fired because "all that matters is the Super Bowl".
4. Dom Capers won a playoff game as a head coach. Why aren't you calling for us to hire him to replace Marvin? Who cares if he only had one winning season in 8 years and just won a little over a third of his regular season games (48-80). He wona playoff game and that makes him better than Marvin, right?
1. When a franchise hasn't won a playoff game in 25 years, no it's not. I've been a fan for 20+ years and I've never seen one.
2. No, I really wouldn't.
3. Honestly I think you're full of crap. If the Bengals won a playoff game, the fans would be on cloud 9. After the Burfict INT against the Steelers, some of the same folks you consider "haters" were saying they were going to cry tears of joy if the Bengals won. There was already an overwhelming sense of joy in the GD thread. Meanwhile all the so-called "homers" had long since checked out.
4. Straw man. I've never said that a single playoff win and years of losing is somehow greater than no playoff wins and years of winning. They're both important. Why can't we have both???
