    This board is crazy, criticism is warranted for MM8 but we have some serious cliff jumpers. MM8 gets the blame for every loss. Yes, he has made mistakes but we're better this year and have been in every game we played. We have not been blown out and that is an improvement!

    We were trailing yesterday, he drove us down and threw a TD to Delanie and we had a 3 pt lead with under 2 mins left. The defense completely put him in a bad spot. They gave up a TD in under a minute, pathetic. Raiders game, drove us down and game winning TD gets called back but we were a foot away from the goal line if it wasn't for the Lewan personal foul.

    All these trade him and draft a new QB threads are ridiculous. I think there are plenty of teams that would take him as their starter over what they have today.

    Mariota also should have let the first Colts go ahead TD (to Hilton) stand instead of accepting the penalty. He would have given himself more time (3:34 appx?) to come down for another TD. He also would have allowed himself the time to come back 11 after fumbling away another TD.

    Our coaching staff is playing to the strength of Demarco Murray which is a bunch of power formations instead of playing to the strengths of Mariota which are spread/shotgun/pistol formations.

    Last I checked we drafted Mariota with the second overall pick and traded practically nothing for Demarco so I think nothing else needs to be said of who the offense should be tailored for. That's like drafting Barry Sanders to play fullback, Genius I tell you!

    Now for all of you who don't think Mariota is not a franchise QB I'm not going to argue with you, I'll only say that it would be in the coaching staff's best interest to put Mariota in a scheme very similar to what he did in college so you can give your investment a fair shot to sink or swim.

    Moral of the story is our coaching staff is **** for not understanding this. #bunchofmularkey

    I said he wasn't the sole reason. It was literally the first sentence in my post. There were a lot of factors that lead to our losing but Marcus' inability to complete easy passes was a huge reason.

    If you think Marcus had a good, hell acceptable, outing yesterday then you are a blind homer.

    On the Mularkey show last night (and I am sober.....) he said in response to a question about where was KW that they can't get him and Walker on the field at the same time. I will leave it up to you to figure that one out. He also said we can't get Amaro with Walker because he can't play ST and we are hurting there.

    Let's clear the air on this. Here is why much of the blame is heaped upon MM. We have broken the bank so to speak to get an offense that can dominate the field and win TOP and put points on the board. We know the D is bad....very bad....so our only hope is to outscore most of the teams we play. When MM misses golden opportunities to put points up, with bad passes, fumbles, bad decisions it goes on his head. I don't want to see a team with a good QB have two minutes to work the field on us with a 3 or 7 point lead. Only way I feel comfortable is with a 20 point lead. Hell, the Browns almost came back and beat us because not only is our starting D bad, but we have no quality backups, so they wear down IF we don't control the game with the offense. Make sense?

    Apologies, you are right. Been reading too much and missed that due to the expectations of so many other posters making insane comments.

    I disagree, he had a decent day (not good, not great DECENT). Out of 37 passes 7-8 were uncatchable and a few of those were throw aways. Every other pass was catchable. He is still learning, that's what most of the "get rid of him" crowd doesn't understand or even want to try to understand. Anyone even notice how crapping Osweiller was last night? How bad Rogers has played this season? Expecting perfection after 18 starts... insane lmao
