It's obvious that Marvin's "field position" battles against the Steelers never work. So. Again. You need to change the formula when you're 8-24. Now 8-25.
Oh, and haven't scored more than 21 points against the Steelers since 2009. Where they scored 23.
The Bengals haven't scored 24+ points against the Steelers since 2006.


The Steelers have scored 24+ against the Bengals 12 out of their last 18 games.

So. Yeah. Maybe TRYING to score more points than a team that routinely scores on you would have been a good idea.

Marvin deserves all the criticism in the world for failing time and time again against the Steelers.

It's not just him deciding when to punt either. He simply doesn't know when to be aggressive and when to play smart. Mixon carried the ball, what, 5 or 6 times from second quarter on? The all-out blitz when they were around the 30 yard line? And yes, even the punting are all clear signs that he just doesn't know when to roll the dice and when to play smart.
