.... so he gets a pass, AGAIN? Some are going to disagree and that's fine, but he's just not a good defensive coordinator.

Save yourselves from looking up stats that's going to put us in top 10 because they are just stats that are misleading. The eye test never lies. I can't recall the last time our defense won us a game.

Just like today, sometimes the offense isn't going to click and we would need the defense to pick us up or win the game. That never happens with us. If the offense is off, our defense gets shredded and you have to look at Marinelli.

If they let Trevor Simeon do that, imagine what Rodgers, Brady and some of the elite quarterbacks would've done? Sheesh!

I'm about done with him and wouldn't mind a change in that department.

We may need a complete new staff. Our schemes are to simple on both sides of the ball and I don't believe our HC has the balls to control his coordinators. I hope we can bounce back from this, if we can't, change should happens. Just my opinion.

Apparently a lot of people on the board will try to disagree, but I won't. I posted something relative a few times. Dude's defense is SOOOOOFFFFT. No pressure, DB's play off and give up 6 yards per play minimum, blitzes are never successful. He's been here a long time. He's had different players and same results. The dude is bad. He can get as "fired up" as he wants to, but I hate his defense and that the secondary is pointing fingers constantly.

Rod has one difference maker on defense, Sean Lee, and he ran with cement shoes today.

Remember Marinelli and Linehan saw the Lions to 0-16. Let's not forget...

Yea some people just like him because he's an old school football type of guy. As far as X's and O's, he's garbage. Just like you said, our blitzes are god awful, our zone coverage is abysmal and our man coverage is middle of the road. So what in the hell is he good at? This whole Tampa 2 **** that he brought his trash. There's soft spots that are exposed every single game in that system.

All of you.

Maybe I'll show for a bit, but I'm done for tonight.

marinelli, garret and scott linehan need to be gone. said it many seasons ago. marinelli can coach trash but not top end talent. linehan is clueless and garrett is just a dummy. 9 years as our coach and the dude cant learn from his own mistakes. i would have put a tight end to help collins from the get go and give dink dunk dak some time to look at his reads. our play calling was so predictable it made me sick. bottom line is our defense sucks, dak aint all that and jerry needs to spend millions on a real defense otherwise it is over.

Marinelli has nothing to work with. Talent level for this defense is bottom half of league at best.
You are right, but that's where coaching comes in. I agree, he was behind the gun tonight with injuries to DBs. I wonder who made the call to carry one extra WR and one less DB tonight? I hope Rod and the D turn it around. I really do.

Constant excuse. Bilichick has a janitor start at WR and DB every week and makes it work always.
You are talking about the GOAT coach. Wade is a great DC and his defense with more talent gave up 27 points at home to Kirk Cousins, who couldnt hit water from a boat last week.
