But what makes all of this worse is the fact that the Bengals hardly beat the Steelers. Marvin's teams have been pretty much owned by them, and it isn't because of the Steelers' dirty play, other than the 2005 playoff game, which was the biggest of them all. And then 10 years later the closest the Bengals came to a playoff win, it was a Bengals dirty hit that was part of the Bengals meltdown that began with Hill's fumble.
If Bengals had better success against the Steelers under Marvin while winning playoff games, while also maybe having the balls to call them out for some of their shit they have pulled over the years instead of saying 'its football', maybe the league would take more notice of them.
I don't know how much Marv complains to the league. I seem to remember reading or hearing something in the past that he sent/sends video to the league of things that were missed.
I do know that i was watching some Bengals show after the news last night and he was breaking down some film and he kept pointing out defenders that were holding and he said something along the lines of, "another blatant hold, but we don't get any calls".
