Unfortunately, as usual under Marvin the team didn't show up at the end of the year losing their last 3 of 4 and losing to the Jets in the playoffs. One thing you do have to say about Starvin' Marvin, he was consistent. 

Fred's brought it up to death, but I and a few others used to bring it up on the mothership too; our season went down the tubes with the passing of Henry, period. We have Henry, we aren't a one-dimensional team that has trouble passing more than 10 yards downfield.

Also, if Odom isn't taken out for the year on an illegal block (that wasn't called), he probably would've had the sack record and/or the best season by a DE in team history. That would've made our already great defense, even better.

EDIT* We also faced the hottest team in the NFL (playoff or otherwise), while we easily the coldest playoff team in the NFL, that Wildcard game.
