Bye Bye Marvin

[*bengalfan74*]

I did a thread very similar on the Mother Ship a few years ago. Update

Marvin Lewis vs. Pittsburgh

ML is 2-13 against the Steelers at PBS - two wins in our house in 15 tries. Pathetic
ML is 8-21 overall against the Steelers, nearly every win we have against the Steelers have come in years when Pittsburgh didn't make the playoffs. So the can't win against the good teams continues here as well.

Grade = F

Marvin Lewis in Prime Time

ML is 9-21 in Prime Time, 6 of our PT wins have come against teams with losing records for that season. We've won 3 games in PT against teams with winning records on that season. (Broncos twice) IF Miami finishes winning it will be 4. Pathetic

Grade = D

Another Metric

ML has only swept the Browns 5 times in 13 seasons. The Ravens including this season have swept them 9 times during the same period, including this season. The Steelers have swept them 9 times, most likely will be 10 after final game this season. In 6 of the seasons the Browns have finished with 5 wins or less and we contributed to the win total by playing down to their level. I wouldn't doubt at all that it continues this season. Pathetic

Playoffs

0-7

In the playoffs we've been outscored 176-83 (7 points to L. Hall pick six)
We've scored a grand total of 29 points in the all the 2nd halves combined. Average of 4.1 points per 2nd half

We're averaging scoring 11.8 points per game. We're averaging giving up 25.1 points per game. One could go on and on with the abysmal stats but the point is - Pathetic

Grade = F

HC Comparison for ML     I kept this to coaches who started no later than 2008

John Harbaugh .602 winning % 10-5 in the playoffs, AFC Championship, SB win, has been in 3 AFC Championship games.

Mike McCarthy .653 winning % 8-7 in the playoffs  NFC Championship, SB win, has been in 3 NFC Championship games.

Mike Tomlin .639 winning % 6-5 in the playoffs 2 AFC Championships, SB win, been in 2 super bowls

Bill Belichick .664 winning % 23-10 in the playoffs 6 AFC Championships, 4 SB wins, etc. etc.

[b]Marvin Lewis .549 winning %   0-7 in the playoffs

Pathetic

Grade = F-

In closing, if Marvin Lewis is still here as Head Coach next season I'm not gonna be. Enough is enough ! I'm not quitting on the Bengals, the team I've been with for 40+ years. I'm quitting on Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis. I've had enough !

When they're gone I'll get back in the saddle
