Marty, We Missed Ya! Welcome Back!

Well, Marty's up to his old tricks again, despite having the most talented team to ever set football on the field, he still loses to a savvy Patriots team with the hated but admired Tom Brady at the helm.

I was almost tempted to give Marty a pass, I mean, he didn't fumble an interception....except for the fact that the INT occurred on 4TH DOWN!!! How can you not coach your players up to just drop the ball!! Ridiculous. Then Marty exacerbated the situation by challenging the play, which wasn't even close to being a review toss-up. That's one timeout lost. But how about the other?

Rivers called one in the 4th quarter RIGHT AFTER a 5 minute stoppage in play for injury!! If you can't get your players lined up and ready during an injury stoppage, then, well, I don't know, maybe you deserve to get the boot. But perhaps, just like Marty in the 1st quarter, his boss will pass on a relatively easy FG on 4th and 11 and go for Marty ONE MORE YEAR!!

With those 2 timeouts at the end, maybe SD gets closer in to tie the field goal. Of course, it should never have come to that.

I guess if you want to blame the players, and not that they deserve a free pass, but you'll have to implicate the late 80s Cleveland Browns and the 90s KC Chiefs, also. You know, the other teams that inexplicably choked with Marty at the helm.
