He just said they were not the main problem
I am new here and don't want to start a fight. But you claimed that Marvin does not make any adjustments and also does not think other teams make in-game adjustments. As I said before, all it takes is a little google to find multiple quotes by bengal players and coaches talking about in-game adjustments made by both them and their opponents.
Disagree if you'd like, I guess that quote can be interpreted in a couple of ways. But I think you're only fooling yourself. I'd also like to believe Marvin knows what he's doing and always makes adjustments but... I just don't see it.
Many of us have seen countless times that Marvin is, at the very least, terrible at making adjustments. I'm not hellbent on proving the team doesn't make adjustments nor am I saying they don't. In fact, I've already said that and you apparently don't want to acknowledge it (or provide the source that says we've been one of the better comeback teams since 2011. I'd like to see exactly what qualifies as your and/or their definition of a "comeback win"). Once again, it's just plain asinine Marvin said that adjustments are "more journalistic jargon than anything". Adjustments are not mere jargon, they are very real indeed.
I'm not looking for a fight either but at this point all your doing is nitpicking and arguing over a quote. The bigger issue is that Marvin finds ways to lose, especially in Primetime and playoffs, and we're still stuck him. I'm sick of arguing over the adjustment issue and typing the same thing over and over. Many of us have seen several games where we were on fire in the first quarter or first half, only to inexplicably fall apart in the late stages of games. Somebody adjusted, somebody else didn't or did a poor job trying.
I guess I should have asked this earlier: are you happy with Marv as head coach?
