That's a tough choice if that tells you anything.
1. The Chargers WC loss. 8-0 at home and you lost in pathetic fashion to the team you'd just beaten on the road. Marvin fans tend to put this one 100% on Dalton, and sure...he turned it over 3 times. But what happened to our top 4 defense that day? Gave up 27 points? No turnovers? No sacks? 200 rushing yards? 118 passer rating to Rivers?
2. The Burfict Steelers WC loss. What a meltdown at the end. Marvin lost them. There's no denying this.
3. All of 2010. 10 straight losses and the man gets a new contract. That press conference is something I'll never forget as a fan.
4. All of 2008. People let this slide because Palmer got hurt. Well Palmer went 0-4. The line was in shambles (sound familiar?). Ryan Fitzpatrick had his worst year as a starter for us. Why was he so much better elsewhere?
5. This isn't a game, but just something I've noticed. In the playoffs, it doesn't matter who we play. 3rd string scrubs burn us. Mark Sanchez and TJ Yates turned in great starts. Boom Herron (who was on our practice squad once and was out of the league at 27) totaled 141 yards and 2 TDs! The Steelers were down LeVeon Bell and 2nd stringer DeAngelo Williams. No problem. Some guys named Fitzgerald Toussaint and Jordan Todman rolled off 183 yards!
Some guy named Cedrick Wilson burned us for 104 yards and a score in Steelers 1.0.
Dunstin Keller went for 99 yards and a score on only 3 catches in the Jets game.
Owen Daniels burns us for 91 yards on 9 catches.
A 3 headed monster of Matthews, Woodhead and ancient Ronnie Brown rolls up 218 yards of offense.
Meanwhile, outside of a heroic effort by Benson in the 2009 game, our stars have mostly been held in check. Benson was awful in the first Texans game. Chad was invisible (6 catches, 87 yards on 12 targets in 2 games). Has AJ Green ever had a big game? Gio? What about the line? Have they ever steamrolled the opponent?
I could go on, but I'll just stop. I'm pissing myself off.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
