Incognito is a buffoon, no question. Martin violated the code, imho because he was lacking the emotional capacity to do otherwise. Any team with any kind of veteran leadership would have settled this in the locker room long ago...

And let me ask this: if Martin was on this team right now, does anyone think he doesn't go to Andy Reid first? Or that it even gets to the point where he has to? |

I don't think you can win without both talent and great coaching, unless you can build a roster so overwhelming in talent that they can prosper without great coaching (the current broncos come to mind). Basically all the top teams right have both key players at key positions and good coaches.

I'm not ruling out that maybe the Dolphins' org did sincerely try to get him help. But given that it sounds like they leaned toward "toughening him up", I doubt it. |

I'm actually surprised this doesn't happen more offer. It's been 10+ years since Barrett Robbins and Dimitrius Underwood went off the reservation.

I think what we're seeing here in KC is more of the difference between good coaching and awful coaching, as well as momentum for and momentum against. I remember saying during the offseason how I thought this should have been a 6-7 win team last year, and was coached down/snowballed its way to 2-14, and that's why I thought they'd have a .500 or better season this year. Obviously the start is greater than that but at the end of the day what we're seeing is a combination of both great coaching and great talent. I think the key is the coaching making the talent believe it can win. Which is not a mindset we've had since the 90s, even during Vermeil's years you could see a sort of "here we go again" thing during games. But we've taken a pretty wide sidetrack here.... |

Philbin and Ireland are reportedly on the hot seat.

That's no concern of yours, silver spoon.
