I'm in the playoff win camp. I feel good about this season and better than I have for a while. Certainly addressing needs in FA and the draft was ginormous this year. New coaches to replace coaches who werent getting it done. I love that. That is what good teams do.
I've had my complaints about Marvin and always will, but he has also gotten my props when he's deserved it. I remember what we were before him and he did usher in big change. That being said he definitely needs a playoff win and more, to continue coaching much longer. He definitely had his role in all of our losses, but I for one feel bad for Marvin in one playoff loss above all others...... When he was about to beat the Stealers with his backup QB and then goofball fumbled a play that should've never been fumbled, followed by a defensive meltdown and the refs blowing it anyway to give the game away. I dont see that loss as on Marvin very much. The rest of them sure, but not that one. He had us ready to play that day and stupid mistakes cost the team a win. Dalton was having a great season and got hurt, and we went there with a backup against the Steelers in the playoffs and should've won. It was utter bullshiz. I know what we all felt like when the miracle meltdown happened, and I dont doubt that Marvin was feeling as bad or even worse. All we had to do was run the clock out, kick an easy FG and get the F out. Its payback time...
Two years removed from being a playoff team every year. We got some hurt folks back, new coaches and a good bit of new players who look to be upgrades. I'm down. We're primed to take the league by surprise this year no doubt.
