Mixon takes a shot at the conservative play calling

But he lost to the Steelers this year when he went for a td instead of running the ball because he was svcared of the Steelers coming back, and then on defense he lost on an all out blitz on defense.

And he lost to the Bucs in 2010 because he was throwing the ball at the end of the game instead of running out the clock.

I have a question for you.  Are you choosing to defend Marvin Lewis because you seriously believe that he's the right man to coach the Bengals, or because it's really easy for you to pick up the unpopular side of an argument, due to the nature of your profession?  Understand, I'm not judging you, either way.  It's just that many of us were completely devastated when Marvin was brought back on yet another two year extension.  Most of those same folks that were devastated, got a rush of enthusiasm when Coach Pollack was hired to replace Paul Alexander, and the team appeared to be making rather uncharacteristic moves to make the team stronger.

Fast forward to now, after injuries have riddled a team that was off to a promising start, a defensive coordinator was fired for taking a once proud unit to historically bad, and now we have our young featured RB tweeting discontent with the game plan.  For all intents and purposes, the team appears to have mentally "checked out" at this point.  Do you still feel that Marvin Lewis is the right man for the job, as HC of the Cincinnati Bengals?
