I'm glad Marvin's been able to pull this franchise out of the grave it saw in the 90's but he plays too conservatively with leads and when he does take risks they are are compounded with stupid decision after stupid decision. I can't help but think every time we're are driving to get the go ahead score all I am thinking about is we are going to screw this up. We play super conservative in field goal range. Why have we lost so many games off of missed field goals...2 reasons:
Our offense doesn't know how to play with a short field. This is due to an inexperienced play caller.
Our kicker sucked and we were too loyal to fix this issue back when the issues started...before the season.
This franchise will continue to be fail until a new coach comes in with experience with winning and the owner releases control to the coach so that he can purge all the coaching on this team.
Good luck to Mike Brown relinquishing control of the football players and coaching staff.
