See but people CAN blame Marvin for Burfict too.
He was Merv's choice and someone he "father figured" onto the team.
All of Marvin's flaws were exposed in that meltdown.
Couldn't control the players(even cupcake guys like Peko), impose on the refs, and his clock management and decisions sucked as usual.
Lots of players to blame but this HC was asleep at the wheel against a lesser Steelers team even with Macaroni tossing the ball.
Sorry ain't buying the get out of jail for Lewis on that one.
Still pisses me off just thinking about him with mouth agape and deer in the headlights look as everything crumbled down.
Management is responsible for everything. There are obviously a lot of owners who wouldn't touch having Burfict on the roster.
I think Marvin came to this team and saw that the only way he could add talent under MB was on the cheap...so it's either sign guys that are bad...or oh hey, you can get a guy like Pacman Jones cheap because he's been suspended a bunch. Or, oh hey Burfict went undrafted. Or wow Tank Johnson and Benson got waived for off-the-field issues.
AND, the cherry on top is that most teams in the NFL won't sign these guys so the Bengals can lowball them and it's either they retire or take what the Bengals offer.
But, yes...the Steelers meltdown did demonstrate A LOT of things. It was Marvins 7th playoff loss. AND the Bengals chose to not fire him. Instead, they gave him 3 more seasons. HOW MANY NFL OWNERS WOULD DO THAT?
