This is exactly right
Most of that time frame overlaps with Marvin and his incredibly poor record against Steelers, top teams, prime time games, and the worst playoff record of any NFL coach with the same team in history.
Plus our players are stupid in the fouls they commit and the mistakes on the field.
Bell's TD pass/run down the sideline by two Bengals , Geno pushing Ben down for no reason in front f the ref, Ioka helmet to helmet on Brown after TD catch- just three of the latest examples.
All three of these incredibly stupid but typical Bungal-like plays under Marvin could be said to have cost us the game.
Steelers and Ravens do not make utterly stupid plays like these over and over
