Jamie_B Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 What's your NFL coaching record, asshole? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengaled Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I frequently take exception to ML's game day coaching. He frequently abandons the rush game which drives me fucking nuts. I did not see that today. We did not run the ball as many times as I want but it's more difficult when you leave so many plays on the table with 4 turnovers. His challenges usually leave a lot to be desired, both challenging when he should not, as well as not challenging when he should. Today, however, his challenge won the game, so, kudos to Marvin today. That being said, Rumble, referring to Marv as the greatest coach in our history is laughable on its face. my point made for me.

Bengals1181 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Shit flows uphill. Thats the way it works in any organization. I'm not talking specifically about this game, and the only reason I am criticizing ML after this win is because thats exactly what this thread was asking for. And I'm talking about a sum of all the years Marvin has been here. Hopefully, ultimately this is the year where everything changes. but it hasnt so far. It costed us the Bears game, the Stealers game was good but probably closer than it should have been, and we gave up 30 freakin points IN A ROW today. Its amazing to have won this game- but frankly I dont have any less doubts about Marvins ability to get us to a SuperBowl than I have during any other year. He just seems completely incapable of getting the team over the hump- having the team playing well enough to get a playoff win (at least) and into the SB. And if other people dont have this concern, then they dont have the kind of expectations normal fans have and are just beaten down into mediocrity acceptance. I suspect you take Rumble, and his thread, too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengaled Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 In Marvin's defense, the truth is, that's not really something he's calling. He's relying on people somewhere else to tell him whether or not to throw. I imagine whoever that was (Mike Brown :)?)is not the same person doing it lately. thanks, apparently there is hope.

|BlackJesus| Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Per Marvin's challenge ... When the Bengals coaches saw the Fox Network feed in their booth, all agreed it was short and advised Lewis to throw the challenge flag. “They said we were good, and when I saw it on the (scoreboard) I felt better about it. I thought they gave him further than what he got,” Lewis said. http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Notes-Newman-crowds-Packers/260477ec-afdf-4d6c-8a6e-a955898f3050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess now we know why teams rush to snap - not because they want to prohibit other teams times to review their video - but because the network has to film live and so won't replay if the team is about to snap the ball again. Seems to me they should at least throw a couple hundred bucks and throw a DVR up there :machinegunyellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalBacker Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 and since we backed in the last two years, his point is valid. There's no such thing as backing into the playoffs, or better said, that phrase is meaningless. You either win enough games to get in or you don't.

Orange 'n Black Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Since when is beating Pittsburgh on their home field "backing into the playoffs"? No shit! They went 6-1 in their last 7 in 2012. Also won 2 of their last 3 in 2011. 09 was the last time they "backed in" to the playoffs (losing 3 of last 4).

MrDingleDangle Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Lol can't believe I was called an asshole for what I said. I think Marvin is a good coach and will probably get us to the playoffs again, but I really don't care about that, I expect to compete in the playoffs, something he has not been able to get his team to do. I hope he can this year, but his record is what it is for a reason. Hopefully this is the year he can inspire a team in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Alice Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Seems to me they should at least throw a couple hundred bucks and throw a DVR up there :machinegunyellow: Not allowed... Teams are only allowed to watch the game cast and stadium replay system. Some scoreboard operators are better than others. I've been to a couple Saints games and can tell you the Superdome operators don't show ANYYHING on the jumbotron that might help the opposing coach. When the Bengals won there a few years ago, Marvin Lewis challenged a play that was not shown on the big screen EVEN WHILE IT WAS BEING REVIEWED. That's what you call home cooking.

Lol Ignoring the home cooking angle, how about the play earlier in the game where Green Bay was credited with a completed pass that was later shown to be incomplete due to the ball making contact with the ground? The fact that the Packers rushed to get the next play off before a replay could be shown was enough to know the pass hadn't been completed, but would have required Lewis to challenge the call without benefit of a replay. Point being, I think Lewis was absolutely correct not to challenge the earlier contested play even though a challenge would have resulted in an overturned call.
