Marvin is a good head coach. The question is "Is he good enough to win a playoff game under Mike Brown?"
We've been down this road so many times, but again - when Marv has had enough talent to make the playoffs 7 times, have a home playoff game 4 times and get double-digit wins in regular season 6 times, he should have some playoff wins mixed in their somewhere.
That particular issue is more on Marv. The primetime struggles seem related IMO. I do think Marv would have more playoff appearances if not for Mike's often frugal and conservative ways in the off-season, but if you're good enough to kick tail all season, you shouldn't be getting embarrassed in playoff games. Something is wrong there.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
