The silver lining with Burfict is that atleast he didn't get arrested off the field. And he did add somewhat of a toughness to our defense, although many of the hits were questionable. I bet a lot of guys would think twice about going over the middle with him there.

And maybe, if he were the only volatile guy on the team we would have been ok. But no. We had Jones too. I think that was too much to control for ANY coach.

See but people CAN blame Marvin for Burfict too.

He was Merv's choice and someone he "father figured" onto the team.

All of Marvin's flaws were exposed in that meltdown.

Couldn't control the players(even cupcake guys like Peko), impose on the refs, and his clock management and decisions sucked as usual.

Lots of players to blame but this HC was asleep at the wheel against a lesser Steelers team even with Macaroni tossing the ball.

Sorry ain't buying the get out of jail for Lewis on that one.

Still pisses me off just thinking about him with mouth agape and deer in the headlights look as everything crumbled down.
