Or, is Zac the head coach and head coaches should take blame for both sides of the ball? Plus our offense has a few chances to ice the game and they couldn't. So where does the buck stop?


When he left Owen Daniel wide open all day in Houston, that was on him. No, I wouldn't put the offensive struggles on Marvin. Most of that was Bratkowski and then Paul Alexander (who Marvin was forced to have on his team). Then the front office (and you'll notice a trend here) royally effed him on the offensive line. 

Sure, the HC gets some blame, he should fire Lou. Fifty percent though? Nah. I'm sure Zac said "don't replace Reader, Awuzie, Bates, and Apple....also say you're not paying them so we can pay Tee and JaMarr....only ... don't really pay Tee, and let's piss JaMarr off and create a distraction heading into the season one year after we said we would and that's why we didn't go big on the d line." In fact, I agree with you now .....I can actually hear that conversation going down. Rolleyes

As to icing the game.....I mean ....they scored 38 on one of, if not THE best defense in the league. QB had 390+, 5 tuddies, and one pick. The pick was a back breaker, but it shouldn't have been.....if the defense could just get one lousy stop. One. Oh, Lamar tried to gift wrap it to them ....but they wouldn't take it. Simmons couldn't get his unit ready for the ***** kick, so they had to burn a timeout there (speaking of the front office saddling HCs with shit lifers ....but I digress) and may have thrown the whole operation out of whack. Adomitis is usually automatic. 

In summation....if he wasn't the one calling plays, an offense that's stacked together five pretty good games, I'd probably put a little more blame on him ....but even then, not fifty percent. I'd never have blamed Marvin for that much either with Mike Clown calling the shots. As far as the coaching goes, I'd have to lay more at Lou's feet, then Zac right behind him since Lou is his choice and he has stuck with him for going on two pretty bad years. But fifty percent of the failings? LoL. No. That's crazy talk.
