That's on him, not Marvin, Mike Brown, Paul Alexander, or Andy Dalton. That was in Jeremy Hill... Even then, the defense had held Pittsburgh's explosive offense in check all night. They could e made a stop to save the game. Instead their lack of discipline reared its ugly head. That was on the coaching staff. Nobody on our sideline noticed Jerry Porter was in the field? Nobody thought it would be a good idea to call our players to the sideline when he was out there? I just seem to remember Burfict playing in a much more controlled manner when Zimmer was here. The ankle twisting, and what not started happening in 2014. Pacman's always been a loose cannon.
That whole game our players were acting undisciplined.
Burfict was doing cheap stuff(extra knee into Big Ben), Jeremy Hill was getting into scrums, and lastly frickin' Peko who was supposedly a leader was running onto the field with his jacket on an pushing a player in front of a ref. Burfict running into the tunnel waving goodbye.
That's aside from our meek HC who didn't have the nuts to ever get in a refs ear the whole time here.
All of that before the fumble and the dumb shit penalties that iced the game.
They got beat by a lesser Steelers squad that had Landry Jones at the helm and an injured Rapelisburger.
I'd say Marvin had company in his choke show.
It was a sad thing.
If anything I can say this team chokes pretty creatively.
Merv and Brown can hang their dunce caps on that.
