- Why would I include 2006 in totality when I was pointing out that Marvin's team collapsed up 21 points at half time and ultimately lost 49-41... at home? That game should have been an easy finish, but he was out coached and unprepared.
- Look at the starting lineup for that week 10 game for the Bengals (listed below). Injuries? Pfffffft! No.
- Marvin showed who he was to me that game as I found the Bengals collapse indicative of the kind of coaching that was to follow for the next decade plus and I was right on. If Marvin couldn't win THAT game with THAT roster (I'll list the starters for that game below if you're concerned about injuries) and THAT lead at the half... he's trash.
Marvin was a garbage coach who should have been gone after he missed the playoffs in 06 & 07 with supremely talented rosters. Look at the scores from those two seasons. The Bengals missed the playoffs both years by 1 game. If the Bengals would have held opponents to 23 points or less they would have tied or won 12... TWELVE more games between those two seasons and been the #1 or 2 seed in the AFC both years. Marvin, the defensive guru, showed he was a product of Ray Lewis' greatness and nothing else. Absolute gutter trash and one of the worst coaches over the last 20 years when you look at the talent he had. Injuries?... I spit on that notion. The guy sucked.
