Please Fire Lewis

I have been one of Marvin Lewis's biggest supporters but I don't think anyone watching the 1st half of this game can disagree he needs to be fired.

it was over when

Marvin did not go for a touchdown on 4th and goal.

dat dere play

Not that it matters, but it was 4th and 1 on the 2+ yd line.

Still should've gone for it. Just think, even had they not scored, it might have changed the clock enough to force a FG instead.

Not fired, but they need help

Watson fumbling twice, bad calls by the refs. Face it, we suck. Need Chris Henry and Chris Perry back BAD.
And a coaching staff that can get all 11 men on the field every play....jeeeeez.....

blah

ya 10 men on the field and two moments in the first half where marvin showed he was gutless. A fourth and one punt and a fourth and goal field goal! Would have made a huge difference, and pittsburgh scored touchdowns on both drives after those plays. When is he going to start calling plays as if he knew he had a mediocred defense?

yuck

I'm not sure many of us thought we'd win, but isn't it the way that we lost that burns us up? This defense has no guts, the offense flounders when it counts, and the coaches aren't fixing the problem. How you don't go for it on 4th and less than 1 when we just gave up two touchdowns is kind of baffeling. How exactly was the defense supposed to finally get it right? 10 men on the field, even if it didn't impact the play, is absolutely unexcusable and a coaching failure, and indicative of much bigger problems.

So, who's looking good for a top 10 draft pick at the LB position?
