Yes, This Team Can Win

It wasn't management that failed to have the team up and ready, instead letting them come out flat and be beaten, it was Marvin Lewis. He was given a team that could perform, and he failed to steer it to victory. That is on him, not Mike Brown.

Honestly, of the five playoff losses in the Dalton/Green era, only two of them really piss me off: 2013 vs the Chargers, and obviously 2015 vs the Steelers.  Both times they had the other team beat, but still found a way to just completely and thoroughly shit the bed. That wasn't Mike Brown's fault.

I'm honestly not sure which one is more upsetting.  The 2013 loss should have ended Marvin's tenure here, thus making way for Mike Zimmer.  The fact that Marvin stuck around after that game and Zimmer was allowed to walk off to Minnesota is still a punch in the gut.  The 2015 loss against the Steelers is sickening for reasons already known to us, not the least of which is the fact that Marvin still had a job after it.    
Everything in this post is my fault.
