Lewis was 131-122-3 with 7 playoff appearances.
I'm starting to think Marvin Lewis is one of the more underappreciated NFL coaches of the past couple decades. Staying 16 years in one place is TOUGH, and I feel like people have forgotten a lot of context along the way.
Lewis was 131-122-3 with 7 playoff appearances.
He got his QB in Year 2 in Carson Palmer and reached the playoffs in Year 3. But on his very first throw, Palmer tore his knee.

Do any of those scream, "Time to go win us a playoff game"?
To win consistently despite shenanigans, you need the respect of your players, and everyone will tell you Lewis had it.
Marvin Lewis hired Jay Gruden and Mike Zimmer as his coordinators and created a beautifully streamlined system
I imagine what Lewis could do as a coach with a real GM and scouting department. I hope he gets a shot.
Unless you're an organization saying, "We're tired of losing in the playoffs every year," you probably shouldn't thumb your nose.
Again and again, coaches get fired while awful GMs keep plugging away.

We're all loving the return of the UCL but in terms of football folklore, a fixture going down in Chile tonight may just be the most important match of the week.
It's a relegation playoff between CD Universidad & Colo Colo it has all of Chile holding it's breath. (THREAD)
It's all because the away side is Colo Colo, the country's biggest, most successful club, with 32 titles & the only Chilean Copa Libertadores trophy.
They have never even come close to relegation & the sheer thought of going down is causing all kinds of scenes across the country
From the ritualistic Grandma's doing their bit to convince the football sprits to keep them in the top
To the 5,000 fans outside who awaited the team bus outside the training ground for one last motivational
And of course the club's Barra Bravas with their own take on motivation

Bus carrying Colo-Colo team to Talca took off some time ago. This was filmed by forward Javier Parraguez. Chillz, literal chillz...

Colo Colo - Chile's most successful club - are one game away from the first relegation in their 96-year history. Their ultras today put up a banner outside the club's stadium: "They win or we kill them." pic.twitter.com/4alj2M6BCi

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
