Many fans are, and have been, very vocal about it. If you think it's a 'stat nobody talks about'...then you've never followed this board, or the previous one.You absolutely can do something about it. You can voice your opinion loudly. That is what fans do when they are not happy. That's all we can do. We complain about officiating when we can't do anything about it. Nobody stays quiet when the officials screw up. But Marvin gets a pass by most Bengal fans. Most of the fans and the Ken Broos of the world prefer to support Marvin or remain silent.
It's not a matter of accepting it. There's nothing we can do about it. Whether you love or hate Marvin...the simple fact is that he'll be the HC until he or Mike Brown decides otherwise. I've personally been saying Marvin needs replaced since the SD game in '13. But...what I think or want has no impact on what Mike Brown does.
You can call it 'acceptance'...I call it reality.
Now, what Mike Brown is willing to accept and tolerate is a whole different story. That's what it comes down to. Not what Bengals fans or the Steelers organization would do.
But you do make some good points
