Great discussion here, honestly. But bottom line is this:
It's been 14 years. 14 years of Marvin Lewis and not a single playoff win. We rarely ever beat Pittsburgh. We struggle mightily in Primetime games. 9/10 times we completely fall apart whenever the going gets tough... This has been a constant for 14 years. To everyone defending Marvin, at what point is enough, enough? Seriously, what is it going to take? I feel like many who make excuses for Marv are still riding the "Black Jesus" hype we all had from 2003-2005. So much time has passed. So much has changed since then. But what hasn't changed? Aside from a small handful of exceptions... We suck when it counts. You can point to any number of reasons why. You can blame players lack of execution, lack of poise, coordinators, injuries, plain bad luck, etc. But who's been at the helm? When will people acknowledge that the team is a reflection of their head coach? At what point will people accept that Marvin is not the one to get us over the hump? After all we've seen over the years, what makes anyone think Marvin is capable of getting us a championship?
Again... When is enough, enough?
