Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year

[CRT3]

Tossing the Red Flag to challenge that fumble was absurd. Going for it on 4th down instead of kicking the field goal with a All Pro, Glad he is gone.

Marty didn't get the stupid penalties or fumble the interception. If McCree holds onto that ball, the game is over.

Bottom line, Marty is now a pathetic 5-13 in the post-season having lost his last 6. He will go down as one of the worst big game coaches in NFL history, and probably would have broken our hearts had he been given the chance to stay.

Marty can't control everything. I think despite whatever his record is, alot of the crap that has happened to him, he can't control. You can't control Ernest Byner fumbling, you cant control guys not catching Interceptions, ect. Yeah, his record sucks, but there werent too many things I would have done differently (outside of that one challenge today). The Patriots, whatever their seeding are, are just that good. Theres a reason everyone said all week the Pats had a legit chance, and a reason why no one is suprised. IMO.

We also would be in the playoffs every year , not 5-11 . Marty finished 8 - 3 , with a cast of , T. Banks , R. Gardner and not much else ,,, we have C. Portis , Moss , Loyd, R El , Cooley , and Betts off the bench and we can't win freakin 6 games ?? No , Marty would not be in my top 5 choices for our coach , but he had our salary cap in better shape and won with a hell of alot less talent than we have now ?

I think Portis was hurt most of the year, was he not? And our defense was banged up all year too. We'd win more than 6 games any other year, easy. We had so many bad breaks this past season to last us ten seasons at least. I think Marty's a great coach (in the regular season anyway) but don't go with the absurd thinking that he, or anyone else for that matter, would do better job than Gibbs and the boys if they'd have less talent. Our salary cap situation would be just the same if anyone else was coaching this team.

Yes , Portis did miss a lot of time , but his backup averaged close to 5 yds a carry , so while CP was missed , its not like we had a bum running the ball. I agree we had injuries , but had we not traded mulitiple picks < 4 for JC > ; 3 for rocky ; 2 for brunell , two for Loyd ,;2 for Cooley , we would have had depth . As far as the cap , many teams are more than 10 million under the cap .I heard them on ESPN ,saying that Ny , Phil & dallas are all 12 million under , and they have draft picks . We are always having to renegotiate or cut players to field a team because we give everyone 2 to 5 times what other teams give out in signing bonus's. The only star other than CP to miss much time was Springs , If a team can't handle missing 1 key player for any lenght of time , that is bad personel decisions . The eagles have lost a heck of alot more than us , DM , Kearse , Bunkley and they win ? Maybe we get lucky this year with the inj's and the Def. turns around !

You make some valid points, but we did have some other key injuries besides Springs and Portis that really hurt this past season. Moss was banged up throughout this season, so was Marcus Washington, Griffin, Salavea, and Daniels. Prioleau was out after the first play of the season and we had a very difficult schedule on top of all that. We were dealt a bad hand all season, and it wasn't pretty. The personnel decisions were not great during last offseason, but I really don't think it was quite the disaster that everyone has made it out to be. I think the wind is definitely at our backs now, and I think next season will be much more enjoyable. This past season was a transition year in so many ways!

Stupid thread.

I'm sure most of us would have rather have seen Marty stay here instead of Spurrier.

VERY VERY stupid thread. Anyone who knows football knows that Marty is a very solid NFL coach. Alot of the stuff that went on yesterday is out of the coaches control. Dropped passes, personel fouls and fumbles on INT's are not the coaches fault.

On this occasion, you're right! This thread is totally absurd! Marty is a fine coach who just seems to be cursed come playoff time. His guys just lost there minds a few times Sunday, and the Patriots got an unbelievably lucky break on the Mcree interception then fumble right back to the Pats. I still wish Marty could've stayed with the Skins longer, instead of Snyder going after that dunce the OBC. Of course that's ancient history now with Gibbs back in the saddle, but still.

Get off Marty's back. At 14-2, he is doing something right. I'd rather be watching my team in the playoffs than figuring out who my team needs to draft.


You can say that again.

I think the Pats and the Eagles are the two best coached teams in the NFL. The Pats deserve to be where they are.

I think Sean Payton has done an outstanding job in NO. Nothing to do with the whole Katrina thing, I just mean he's a fantastic, gutsy football coach. The guy has balls and makes some tough, risky calls that work out pretty well.
