Sorry, this sums up our coach Marvin Lewis. Actual quote.

[JumboTron]

It'll be the same thing he will say tomorrow during his Monday presser, only he will mix in that deep belly giggle.

"C'mon Dave. A tie isn't that bad, AAAAAhahahehehehahahehahehhheheheeee....ahhhh. Thanks guys."

[Atomic Orange]

TBF he did ice the kicker to give us the tie. The first one did go through.

Thing is, i hate ties.

I wish he would have said "I hate ties" too.

..and giggled a bit.

[StoneTheCrow]

Let us NOT forget that several years ago in Cleveland, time was running down in OT and the Bengals had the ball with 4th and whatever in plus territory and Marvy ol boy wanted to punt. Essentially conceding the tie. It took extreme lobbying from his Carson qb to get him to go for it. They did. And they won. Despite Marvin.

Good friend I grew up with is a Skins fan, he texted me after they missed that iced FG talking about how they suck and we're going to win. I sent back "don't worry, Bengals will find a way to F this up, Marvin lives for ties." Low and behold here we are.

COACH LEWIS: You don't get the win but you don't get a loss either.

And you go around calling people's thread pointless.   The irony is too much.

"I am disappointed because we really needed a win and didn't get it.  Our defense gave up far too many yards and our kicker missed important kicks.  We need to get those things corrected.  We can't have a critical fumble in overtime when the game is on the line".

[John Shaft]

Too bad Harbaugh wouldn't take the drastic pay cut to leave Michigan to coach the Bengals.

Marvin may be running on a lean mixture, but he's not Tommy Tuberville

I'll never forget that. Marvin had the team play scared and conservative after beating Pittsburgh the week before. Thank god Carson had the sack to tell Marv to f*** off

The Bengals played a horrible game so Marvin was glad we didn't lose because we deserved it.

[Ned Ludd]

To be fair to Marvin, his quote seems quite intelligent compared to Gruden's...

So would you like to comment on the tie?
