Yes it’s not an Andy thread but we can’t stick our heads in the sand and pretend like Marvin Lewis’s 2nd half stats have zero to do with the guy piloting the ship on offense. People complain about how terrible Marvin Lewis and staff are at everything yet think they’ve got the single most important position on the field correct. A few years from now when Andy is gone (without a single playoff win) people will look back and realize how silly it was thinking Andy has what’s needed to take us all the way. I hope I’m proven wrong and we get a new coaching staff and that they keep Andy and he plays up to all the Andy apologists hype.
You need to also realize that from 2003 - 2010 one Andy Dalton was not the QB of the Bengals and Marvin Lewis led Bengal Teams did even worse in 2nd half scoring than with Dalton. We had two playoff loses that are mirror images of the Dalton era loses.
We lost to the Steelers the same way we do now under Dalton. We lost in prime time the same way, we lost when it really counted before Dalton.
Fact is the problem hasn't been Dalton, nor was it Palmer. But ignore the evidence and I'll stick my head back in the sand.
