For some reason, Marvin's teams always seemed so tight the brighter the lights got. Maybe he put too much pressure on them? I dunno, but it was a Hallmark of his tenure.
That San Diego game was just bizarre, a whole team implosion. The one against the Colts we were so injured it was kinda insane (when Rex Burkhead is WR1 it is weird) and then during that game we lost Jeremy Hill right close to halftime. The Stealers one was just embarrassing with the total lack of self control (no matter how provoked it was and the blatant spearing of Gio was pretty provocative).
While it was nice to get to the playoffs there was just something in the Marvin teams that they seemed to always implode in the playoffs, among other things our usually stout defense would suddenly forget how to stop the run. The Zac playoff team seemed determined not only to not implode but to prove everyone wrong.
