When Marvin Leaves?

Thoughts reminiscent that of something I heard once about radical Muslim beliefs that the best way to defeat a country is from within (probably not close to accurate, but seriously, I heard that somewhere). So, with those 2 examples you can kinda see where the conspiracy thinking is coming from.

However, there is a little voice inside my head (believe me, there are many) which is telling me that Marvin is bringing in all these ex's as a way to plan against them. The more knowledge and experience you have from all levels of that organization, might actually help you gameplan against them and bring them down. Then again, if the general leading this wage of war on the steelers is Marvin? Well, we are screwed anyway because even with all the assistance in game planning. He's just not that good of a game planner or game manager. Hell, he's really not that good at a lot of things it takes to win. His flaws are countless.

I guess we wont know until we get through half the season next year on where we stand. I hope we are dominant and kick butt in primetime, win playoff GAMES and even make it to the SB at the end of the season. But if we make it? We can't lose this one.

Geez, I just talked our way to a SB? I have to get real and pour the koolade down the drain and open a beer and get real.

you are putting too much {win or lose} on the coaches.....
imo, it's not about that.......
if you want a quality team, DRAFT QUALITY O-LINE PLAYERS....
 & KEEP THEM...... like the steelers do w/ Pouncy & DeCastro....
they can run the ball......control the clock.....& control the game....

if we don't learn this lesson we will always be behind the 8-ball....

we could of had Decastro....but no...instead of drafting the #1 quality OG we traded down......drafted a lower grade OG in Zeitler....then refused to resign him......so we're left w/ band aids........basiclly back ups...
seems we always have OC that are 4th rd picks or lower.....we just don't want Quality interior O-linemen....then we struggle on offense....it's b/c of our poor drafting......then we draft 2 OT's that are both weak....Ced & Fisher.....
some then blame the coaches.....
it's not so much the coach imo, it's the junk O-line....
you can't win the Ky derby riding a cheap mule....

I don't drink alcohol......i'll stick w/ other things....
alcohol has many defenders, but it has no defense
