A down year in the NFL?

As many have stated in many threads, Marvins game may have been valid years ago, but the NFL opponents study and adapt and the next thing you know what worked works no longer. We we're always somewhat predictable on many levels. Now we are so transparent you actually would think Marvin Fed-Ex's the other team exactly what he is going to do and when. 

Marvin has NEVER been a coach other coaches fear.  He had players in Baltimore that Breshnahan couldn't have screwed up.  He has been surrounded by talented coaches here.  Four of his assistants are now HC in the NFL.  That means one in eight head coaches in the NFL have been assistants for Marv.  When their talents left, and were replaced with the likes of Zampese, Marv was exposed. 

He should have been shown the door long ago, but at least he will be this year.  The only problem is I don't see a HC on our current roster that I think can take the team to the next level.  I would bet my mortgage that it will be Guenther and the only way I see the team improving in that case is if Hue is back as OC, which is probably not very likely.  

I feel so bad for the players on the roster right now.  It is like being sent to war with a battle plan that reads:  "just walk over that hill and shoot the bad guys".  They know it isn't going to work and their effort demonstrates that.
