66 of 118 (55.9% - terrible)
621 yards (5.26 yards per attempt - terrible)
3 TDs to 4 INTs (terrible)
65.0 passer rating (terrible)
...and yes you can blame the Head Coach for terrible player performance. That's why HC's get fired in the first place. They aren't getting the best out of their players. What makes it even more obvious is that we've seen multiple sets of talented players fail in the same situations. And it's not just QB's. Our pass rush disappears. Our o-line can't block. We can't stop the run or the pass. Chad and AJ have put up weak numbers. Etc, etc.
I blame Mike Brown for the 90's, but we've had enough talent to win playoff games during Marv's tenure. The choking is on Marv. I blame Mike for not firing Marv. I pretty much give the players a pass based on Marv's lengthy and dreadful history in prime-time, Steelers and playoff games.
I can't sum up my stance any clearer than this.
We run into a brick wall every time ! And we just keep running into it time and time again. We get out coached, out schemed, out game planned, and fail to adapt in any way. We just get back up and run head first into the wall again.
You would think after dozens of those games Merv would decide to think out of the box and figure out a way around the wall. But nope we come out flat and uninspired every time and run into the wall head first.
That has nothing to do with Mike Brown
