Couple of predictions from Sports Illustrated.

You don't think Mike Browns free agent policy has hurt the team at all?  You just think it is all about Marvin suddenly forgetting how to coach in the playoffs?

The fact is that when Marvin made the playoffs he usually did not have the talent of the top 8 teams in the league.  That is often the reason he lost.  And sometimes his best players failed to perform.  Marvin has never told Gio to fumble at the goal line, or Dalton to turn the ball over repeatedly, or the defense to disappear.

1. I think that may be part of the problem. The playoffs are different. 

2. A free agent or two would certainly not hurt, but these teams were talented enough to win double-digit games, and should've been talented enough to win a game or two out of seven tries.

3. Who says we didn't have top 8 talent? You don't think 2005, 2013 and 2015 were very talented teams? Weren't people saying we had the most talent in the league in those years?

4. Players didn't perform. I agree, and this has happened repeatedly with many many players. Coaching issue maybe? Maybe we're not putting players in the best position to be successful?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
