Thread: It was all Mike Martz's fault.

ya had nothing to do w/the sub par OL that cannot protect the qb or read a blitz pre snap; or the sub par wr's that cannot run a correct route or hold onto a ball. Nor was it the DB's that cannot cover or that AMAZING DL that could not get pressure up the middle(think I had concerns about that last week, but you were to busy calling me a hater to realize I had a point).

Im not blaming Martz. When we tried running, it was same as it usually is...right into the LoS as the line gets pushed back. No gain.

And yes, Forte is a good runner...when he has decent blocks, or when he gets out in space. But this OL cant give him those holes very often.
No, its the OL's fault. Last week showed that the offense can put up decent numbers behind Martz's play calls.

That's just it, his play calls this week were atrocious. The Saints blitzes almost every play and Martz never adjusted. And while seeing rushers demolish his quarterback all game, not only did he KEEP passing, he kept calling for 7-step drops. That is ALL on Martz

How were they atrocious? The best OC in the world cant make the OL block any better, nor guarantee the WRs actually CATCH the ball. Oh yeah...dont forget about the ridiculous number of catchable dropped passes that happened as well. Ill give Sanz a pass since he is a Rook...but the rest of them (Hester, Knox, TEs)...no excuses for it. Between that, and Cutler starting out in SHOTGUN and still getting pressured...i cant really fault Martz for all of it. And we did have two decent drives...the first scoring one, and the next to last one where it looked like we were trying to stage a come back.

All im saying is give Martz a GOOD OL (not even probowl...just a decent top 10 OL), and i think the offense would be on a roll.
Oh, and there is an ignore feature, or so i hear.
