Agreed,

I can't remember now if it was early last season ? possibly the season before last ? But we were either on a bye week or playing in prime time. Anyways I was half watching a 1PM game, I'm thinking it was Jacksonville vs. Tennessee, not totally sure.

One team was up like 27-3, right in there somewhere ? Big lead - controlling the game. The losing team was forced to punt with like a minute left before halftime. The team with the big lead got the ball back at like their own 30. And I remember I was so dumb struck when they came out attacking down the field ! I remember saying Marvin would have run the clock out there for sure. The drive stalled and they settled for a FG, 30-3 or thereabouts at HT.

Checking back later the final score was like 33 -27 or something ? Point being Marvin just will not ever play like that, and it hurts bad in today's NFL.
