2003Contenders Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I just made reference to this in another post. I will have to say that MM really did show me somthing in last week's game. I'm not one that buys that the win was not a good one, considering that the Benglas CERTAINLY had something to play for. Here's what I would say... 1. Considering what was at stake for the Bengals, MM clearly out-coached Marvin Lewis, a guy who is on some lists as a Coach of the Year candidate. 2. MM had the team ready to play, when they could easily have been running for the bus. 3. For a change, the staff made some decent adjustments during the game. 4. They showed some heart in coming back practically everytime the Bengals looked to be taking the momentum. The on-sides call may have been the deciding bit for him. I know that it didn't matter because Holcomb ultimately threw that lame INT. However, the call was a good one -- and the execution was great. More important, maybe for the first time all year I didn't see that deer-in-the-headlights look when he and April pled their case to the refs. He was forceful enough to the point where the refs didn't even require the use of a challenge flag to correct the call. Maybe, just maybe this was a deciding moment for MM as a head coach in much the same way that players have a breakout game. Maybe we'll see againt next week against the Jets in another "meaningless" game. I just wish that we had seen more of this from him earlier in the year.

Rico Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 We play the Colts at Indy next year... maybe that game will be played Week 16, and we'll upset them to improve to 5-10.... some would say "hey, that's progress, the Colts are better than the Bengals."

colin Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 mm did jack against cincy we played meh, cincy played poorly, a couple well timed sacks/pressures by schoble and mcgee pulling 2 rabits out of a hat in one game is what won it for us. mm and td still need to eat glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise we lose. How does this amke him a good coach? or support TD's draft decisions? I hope the Jets whup us to bring some reality back to the situation we are really in....shiiitsville as a team and organization, 6 wins, no O or D line, no playoffs forever (only us and houston are left - what pathetic company), a pisspoor record under TD's tenure, no visible progress this season, unhappy vets, frustrated fans, trick plays that dont work....

kasper13 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 So when the Bills are 3-11 next year at this time and win a meaningless game against someone, that will save MM for 2007?. Just Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Cincy is a bad Team...they're not...But they are a young Team that got caught up a bit in their success and they got blindsided...That happens to good young Teams sometimes... At this point I could go into a lengthy description of MM's "progress" vs. the Team we all know he's going to have to beat eventually to win the AFC East...But we have already suffered through a 5-10 Season, so I'll spare y'all that misery for now...I think it's safe to say MM has a ways to go before he puts any fear into Belichick and his Staff...That's a pretty easy statement to make I believe... If the Cincy Game did in fact "save" MM's position as HC...well...Can we fire RW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BravinSeattle Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 That win saved MM and set us back YEARS. Mark my words -- we will beat the Jets and draft in the middle of the round and end up with one impact player in this draft vs three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
