Difference between winning and losing in nfl is a very slight margin.
Would our better teams gotten over the hump with a couple of quality free agents?
You might laugh but what about the positive impact of an indoor facility.
Would roster have been stronger and drafts better with full time scouts, the practice followed by every other team?
Maybe our playoff teams would have benefited from a linebacker who could cover tight ends.
Point being Mike’s administration has not been innovative ( like his father had been) or taken the extra steps needed to push the team over the top when they had the chance.
And if coaches were failing why weren’t they fired. Lots of teams would have dumped Marvin after the first two playoff loses for example.
There is a long list of other issues that maybe others can cite.
30 plus years in a league where each team has comparable resources and no playoff wins is a statement on organization and its leadership.
Would an indoor facility have caused our players to put some effort on the field for the San Diego game? Would full time scouts have kept Burfict and Pacman from imploding at the end of the Pittsburgh game, because at that time they were a couple of the best at their positions? Would any of that kept Kimo from destroying Palmer's knee? I want MB to retire as much as anyone, and I thought Marvin stayed longer than he should have, but the point remains. The Front Office assembled playoff teams with enough talent to go deep into the playoffs many times, and those teams just did not perform. Blaming Brown and not the players and coaches is lazy.
