I think Marvin has lost the respect of a majority of the team and they just don't care at this point. When he gets canned, they might start winning a few.
I think the defense played hard even when the game was out of hand. Lack of personnel hurt them, for sure.
I agree with your second point, though. Unfortunately, I've kind of felt all offseason that they needed to suck bad enough to get his ass out the door after it's over. He's done and has been since they 2015 Wild card game. Those veteran players just saw that playoff loss movie a few too many times to keep faith in him. I thought this when I heard Dunlap's postgame interview after that Pittsburgh game. He said something to the effect of "How can this keep happening to us over and over?" It has to wear on a team.
His comments after Whit and Z left also gave a hint as to how it probably feels in that locker room. Those players know what's up. They knew this o-line wasn't a viable NFL one.
