I realize that you have a reputation as an offensive genius to regain, which I guess requires you to throw the ball on every down, but when you have Marshall Faulk, the second greatest weapon in the NFL (behind only Michael Vick), and your QB is screwing up, why don’t you just run the damn ball? Faulk ran the ball 9 times today. 9 times! That’s not even enough for him to get his uniform dirty. You need to get your head out of your ass, Martz.
This rant would have been much more vitrolic if I was a Rams fan.
Actually the Bears orgainzation are the biggest idiots in the NFL, not just for signing Kordell Stewart, but then for allowing him to start this week. Way to go guys. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :wally :wally
As a Rams fan, Martz as head coach makes me pissed at Dick Vermeil for “retiring” after the Super Bowl Championship season, leaving us with an offensive coordinator who hadn’t had any grooming to be a head coach to helm the ship. Then he comes out of retirement only a year later to take charge of the Chiefs. Grrrrrrr
So Vermeil’s an ass for being so flaky about retiring and leaving the Rams with an offensive coordinator instead of a head coach, and Martz is an ass for… well just look at last season, and then the season before when we somehow got to the SuperBowl again only to get out-coached by the Patriots, and the season before that when our offense was great but the defense was crap.
Yeah, Martz is a tool all right. Today he made another one of his patented bad strategic calls. Down by 10, 5 minutes left, and he goes for it on 4th and 12 instead of trying a 50 yarder. Way to play the odds there, buddy.
That was bad, but what’s WORSE is that he didn’t learn a dang thing from that mistake- on the next series, he did exactly the same thing! Instead of attempting a field goal, which would have put the Rams within a touchdown of the lead, he went for it again- knowing that, if the conversion failed, the game was, essentially, over.
I happen to like Martz as an offensive coordinator, but he’s proven repeatedly that, as a game-day decision maker, he stinks.
Marty Schottenheimer is probably high on the list of NFL idiots. Marty, as usual, burned all his timeouts with about 4 minutes left down 13 to the Chiefs today.
Unless Vermeil hired Martz, I don’t think he’s quite an ass for that. He’s an ass for retiring and then changing his mind, but St. Louis could have hired someone other than Martz. The blame for that rests on their shoulders, not Vermeil’s.
As a Steeler fan, I can truly say I feel your pain. I’m just glad he’s not our headache anymore.
I always knew that one day the Steelers would trade him, but my biggest fear was that when they did, he would get his head out of his ass and lead his new team to a Super Bowl victory. To be completely honest, I’m smiling from ear to ear seeing him dash the hopes of another team. My condolences go out to Bears fans.
Cut your team captain and the heart of your defense a couple days before your first game without warning. Watch him sign with a division rival your are playing that week. Come out very flat. Get ass handed too you by that player and rival team. Classic. Martz didn’y lose 31-0 at least.
:rolleyes:
