It's both. That said, Marv had some pretty damn good rosters that had ZERO answers in the playoffs. Honest question.....have you ever seen a Marvin Lewis coached team do anything so remotely out of their wheelhouse in any game...let alone a playoff game? Case in point, this season. You have a historically bad defense, yet you continually defer when you win the toss. Why not switch it up and try to gain some momentum by seeing if your offense can march down the field and score? Instead, we continually watched opponents shred our defense damn near every game on the opening drive. Playing from behind every week isn't exactly getting off on the right foot.
Look at Philly last year. Changed their offense up to accommodate Foles....what did we do for Driskel?
FWIW: coaching, in my opinion, is a bigger part of success in football than most other sports.
