I apologize for the typo. That should say "message board myth". I did not mean to infer that no statements on this board were ever backed up with facts. Just the claim that the Bengals have lost a game because Marvin played too conservative with a lead in the second half.
In the 2017 regular season, there were only 2 games where a team led by 14+ at halftime and ended up losing. The Bengals were the losers in both of those games. (vs Steelers and Packers)
Not a SINGLE other team did it during the regular season, and yet the Bengals did it twice... but yeah, just a myth, and I am sure it was total coincidence, not Marvin Lewis at all.
