Quote:The position we find ourselves in at the end of 2016 is an interesting place.

 

The team had poor coaching and focused on the wrong things this year.  The GM has improved with his job over the past 12 months but he gets a strike against him for retaining Gus.  It is obvious to me that Doug Marrone was not auditioning for anything the past two weeks.  The decision was already made.  As pointed out all last week, he would have been made the interim coach after the first Titans game if they wanted an honest review.

 

This is not a top 5 in the draft team but it sure isn't playoff ready with this roster.  We have gems up and down the roster but the cohesion is greatly lacking.

 The cohesion is on the coach, not the GM.  You saw some great things in the first half today.  Ngakoue with his ninth sack. Fowler got another sack. Grant on a long TD run. Koyak continues to impress, with another TD catch. It was Marrone who took his foot off the gas.  And I do think this team could go to the playoffs - because I think this team has more talent than any other in the division. But we need the right coach.
