10-10 with nine minutes left. Let's see how marvin does. I'm guessing we all know he usually struggles.

Ugh...56 yard field goal not the decision I would make. Id rather punt or go for the first down than go for a three point lead at that point.

What do you mean? Most groupies will claim that there isn't a better replacement out there.

The passing up of a 51 yard FG moments before was stupid. 4th and 22 and you go for it, rather than kick the field goal. Stupid.

Then trying to kick a 56 yard fieldgoal with a kicker who has never came close, was even dumber.

The D and Reggie Nelson saved Marvin Lewis for being up for Dumbest Coach of the Year Award.

I love the aggression but I agree bad call since points are at a serious premium against the Steelers.

Can't say I hate the call. According to the announcers he was making them in practice and he's been automatic for us so far. I can understand the call.

Dumbest coach of the year is a stretch. If it was 4th quarter the call would've been far more detrimental. Given the time it happened we had the opportunity to bounce back. Regardless I agree it was a bad situation to be aggressive in.

That 4 and 22 was an inch away from being genius.

In hind sight...............I dont have a problem with either call.........


Playing by the book doesnt always get the desired results...........there are times you have to go against the grain and try and SNATCH a victory out of nowhere. I liked the 4th and 22 alot less

i was at the game and Brown was kicking 50 yarders into the closed end but not the open end... i don;t disagree going for the field goal, Brown said he did not get a good kick on it and it was just a few yards short.. the 51 yarder would have been into the open end.... where i was sitting alot of wind. very doubtful we make it.. we were inches of completing the pass. really cut the Steelers flat on that play...

also great job on the coverage of steelers in last drive, have to give credit to marvin too..he is a defense coach first so you know he has had input on that.. and the players he has picked up like Nelson.. makes the play

finally.. great call on last play to setup winning field goal..

3 out of last 4 years made the playoffs.. what coach for us has done that through the years... got to love Marvin

Reid, Whisenhunt > Lewis

Heck. There's even an inside man that would do better.

Zimmer.

But watch. He'll leave and show why the Bengals should have made him HC.
