Bengals vs Steelers

I can't remember when I seen them go into halftime with a double digit lead and come out with the same intensity they had in the first half. The fingers point to bad coaching.

Before Marvin got involved with Brats offense and had him slow it down. We clearly went away from the high-flyin, high-scoring offense because it doesn't suit Marv's defensive minded football ideas. Once we got rid of Bresnahan and developed a solid defense, things changed on offense too. Marvin wanted the defense on the field as little as possible, and that meant scoring within 5 plays or less was a big no no. Out goes the Air Coryell type offense that suited Carsons strengths and in comes run-run-pass (just past the first down line or shorter)-punt crap. Why go away from an offense that works? Completely stupid on Marvins part. 

He seems to be under the impression that it's still the 1970's and a 10-point lead is big enough to sit on. That may have been successful football back in the day but now, it's ugly football. Times have changed and the goal for the offense should be to score on each and every possession. Simply playing the field position game and hoping the clock runs out is asinine in this day and age. No lead is safe. If you don't play it that way, you are playing to lose. 

But of course, that's all beyond Marvins comprehension  Whatever

Well, you guys pretty much summed it up, nicely done. Great posts and mega reps. Rock On

Sucks though, we need to move on from Marv and there is no doubt about this.

Hopefully this teams carries his ineptitude, we get a SB win this year, Marv retires in a great way and others don't know these things.
