I can't defend Mike Brown, but he's not the one coaching the team on game day when we can't score in the 2nd half. If the team is talented enough to gain a lead in the 1st half, do you really think it's some kind of magic? Does the magic expire at half time when the other team makes adjustments (and we don't)? "Ok, Cinderella, it's midnight at halftime." Marv has taken us from the dark ages of the '90s to a respectable team, but he is one of the absolute worst game-day coaches in the NFL.
How many times have we heard from the experts the past few years about how talented Cincinnati's roster is? Whether it's dumb luck, or skill assembling the team, our coach hasn't been able to capitalize on it. We've lost so many games after dominating in the first half. Do the other team's players all of a sudden get better? No, it's their coaches that are constantly making changes to put their players in a better position to make plays. Regardless of how much blame we place on Mike Brown and Tobin, they aren't the ones that can actually coach the team on gameday...
Don't get me wrong, MB and Tobin deserve the lion's share of blame for not fixing the O-line in the offseason, but that's a different story...
