    Agreed I will miss the constant winning but good riddance - Bengals have been cheap shot artists for years and that behavior was enabled by Lewis

    Pivot points of Marvin's tenure were all Steelers games


    • If Kimo does not cave in Palmer's knee in the 2005 season playoffs the outcome of that game along with the subsequent paths of the Steelers and Bengals in the years to come might have been much different
    • Marvin was dead man walking after the Burfict/PacMan meltdown 2 years ago
    • Blowing the 17-0 lead to the Steelers 2 weeks ago was the final nail in the coffin


    Bottom line is Marvin could beat almost anyone other than the Steelers but that wrecked him

    A lot of the Bengals' woes vs the Steelers was personnel. The players ARE cheapshot artists, and easily get angry and lose focus. It has been the players that we beat more than Lewis. Lewis was the captain of that sinking ship, yes. But it was the team that just didn't execute, and that will most likely continue. Maybe they get Sexxy Rexxy and really become criminals.

    Well as long as Mike Brown is continuing his ownership I think we'll be fine. He is too cheap to really want a change. If he gets .500 teams and fills the seats, he doesn't care.

    Steelers still win that game even if Palmer plays the whole game. What has Carson Palmer done in the postseason to suggest that he would have put up over 30 points against the Steelers defense?

    Let's trade the Bengals Todd Haley and Danny Smith for a dozen cases of chili.

    Marvin is resigning before he gets fired. It's saves a lot of PR. Marvin should go to the Browns.

    Bengals had put up 38 points on the Steelers in Heinz win the previous month

    Pass on which he was injured on the Bengals first series was a 66 yard completion to Chris Henry

    In 2005 Palmer led the league in completion % and TDs

    But other than that no real drop off going from Palmer to Kitna, eh?

    So a team does well against another in the regular season, automatically means they would have done just as well in the postseason? History doesn't support that.

    Also there really shouldn't be any doubt that the Steelers would have done what it takes on the journey to try and get the Bus to the Super Bowl or that the Marvin Lewis led Bungals would have found a way to choke regardless of whether or not proven playoff choker Carson Palmer was playing, especially after Houshmanzadeh disrespected the towel

    I believe the game is designed to reward the ones who hit the hardest. If you can't take it, you shouldn't play!- Jack Lambert

    I don't recall anybody singing the blues for the Steelers when Roethlisberger got knocked out of commission for 4 games that season by Luis Castillo.

    And chances are the 2005 Steelers finish 13-3, secure a bye and aren't even playing the Bengals in that wildcard game if Turnover Tommy hadn't been pressed into action for 2 of those games (both losses, imagine that) due to injuries to Batch as well.
