Le Tigre Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 9 minutes ago, SF2 said: And you can't simply use 5 years since Marvin has been here longer. Since Marvin has been the coach, Pittsburgh has won 4 AFC Championship and 3 Superbowls. Oakland and Dallas have sucked and if the narrative is that we have been better than them,..so what. Finally, this team does not have the players to make any type of deep run. The oline is not very good, our pass rush is weak and our secondary is a old train wreck waiting to happen. We lost a lot of games this year because we are not good I know you always love to express undying praise for the Stealers, but since franchises generally turn over every 3-5 years, that was the reason for the time frame. And if your heroes happen to make a run in this year's tournament, it hasn't one iota of relevance to what they did in 2005. This was not a good season. I do not know what next season will bring, and neither do you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Nothing to do with Marvin, but Vance Joseph to Denver is already picking up some steam. I imagine he may be one of the top candidates if Marvin is forced to step down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our year. Nevermind what has happened the last 14 years. This year will be different! That's the part I just have to shake my head and laugh at. The "high turnover" of coaches argument that Kenny threw out was hilarious seeing as it's been 14 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this ship turns around and in a Dn good way. We're going to draft a complete stud on defense and improve this o line. This team will win big next season. I'm confident. I think the ship turns around next year because the schedule is weak not because well be so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about Denver though because Wade Phillips is there running their defense. And I wouldn't be surprised if Wade Phillips took over as head coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know what next season will bring, and neither do you. This team and the talent it had totally UNDERACHIEVED the last 5 years. At one point many felt we had one of the most talented teams in the league. We were never in 4 of the 5 playoff games we played and the lack of discipline snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last year. Marvin is Matthew Stafford.

Hint of Snow Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I have the puzzled solved. Perhaps. Marvin only needs two more seasons and 9 more regular season victories to surpass the immortal Jim "Playoffs?" Mora for career ineptitude. 16 seasons and 126 regular season wins and 0 Playoff victories will do the trick Canton awaits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Yeah let's fire Marvin, he clearly has lost control of the team. No effort today from these guys and AJ Green looks pissed. I'm sure he's just so angry he can't toss his pads onto the stands. If he was a team player he'd be at home on the couch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always seen Andy as a guy who can competent enough most years to get enough wins for the playoffs (i his defense is good enough), but not a QB who's gonna give you much (if anything) else.
