FWIW - Lewis and Burfict aren't going anywhere and the idea that ML has lost control is simply a knee jerk reaction born out of frustration of losing the game.

This isn't something new. It's been the accusation for years that we lost in '05 because the players gave up on Marvin after the half (including that Chad slapped him in the locker room). Marvin kept telling Chad not to be distracting with his celebrations and he did it anyway. Housh pretty much did what he wanted here. There was Henry, Simpson and other players with off the field issues.

It's not a knee jerk reaction, it's a common theme from Marvin over the years. On and off the field, he can't control the players.
