The bottom line (for me) is:  Marv is a very nice man, and he knows how to assemble talent, but he is simply not able to change his stripes and be something he isn't.  He would have been a great coach back in 1970, but he and his unit of coaches are horribly outclassed in today's game.  Other teams look like they are taking candy from a baby.

Indeed

Marvin refuses to accept the fact that the old school field position, rely on your defense, grind out a win just doesn't work in today's game.

We don't average 2.5 points in the 3rd quarter just because we're horribly unlucky, we get out coached ! The opposition adjusts and we have no answer.
