Refs didn't push Ben from behind well after the ball was out.
Refs didn't elect to not tackle Bell running down the sideline
Refs didn't commit blatant defensive PI calls.
Refs didn't take a sack on 3rd and 2 when the QB needs to nut up and run for it.
Refs didnt drop a routine catch on a potential game winning drive.
The refs did us no favors in this one, but they weren't the reason we lost.
As to the OP, completely agree. This team will go nowhere with this coaching staff. They will continue to fold in the second half, they will continue to be undisciplined and make boneheaded plays.
Ideally, next year we have a completely new coaching staff. We'll have a high draft pick. I'd personally take O-Line, but if a new coach wants his own QB I'd be for it. I think Dalton has showed that he can be good enough. I really don't see this team as being THAT far off. With a competent coaching staff, and a better O-Line (and to be fair, the O-Line has actually played nicely and has been improving of late) this team would be right in the thick of things in a bad AFC conference.
Thank you Marvin Lewis for taking us out of the gutter. But you've taken us as far as you ever will. We need a coach that will help take the next step.
