He was both the reason the Bills went to 4 straight and the reason they lost 4 straight. Very mixed emotions about him.

Yeah, Marv all by himself is responsible, 

 

bet you’re great at birthday parties…,

He once called a referee an over-officious jerk. 
 

 

Thanks!  Saved me the trouble of finding this!  I was just gonna post it... Then for some reason: "HEY! The Mods want me to do a search first so there's no unnecessary posts taking up space on The Board."  Strange, these two things collided in my big bean that sits upon my shoulders.  Coincidence?🤣

Those Redskins and Cowboys teams were juggernauts. They would have been big upsets to win. The second Cowboys game had a line of -10.5!

Funny how 30 some odd years ago, a younger me thought he was old when they hired him.  And here we are today… he’s still kicking and I’m thinking 65ish ain’t so old!

Guy is 99 and gave his all to that team, even if his all wasn't enough. Let it go. Allow the emotions you feel toward him to be positive.

I think you should take the same approach to Sean McDermott who is given his all to this community and team 

 

And it hasn't gotten us over the hump yet but that doesn't mean he can't

Pretty col. Marv is a cool guy and was our best coach. McD is awesome too but Marv had the swag!

Marv is still the best coach in franchise history. McDermott needs to get to the superbowl a couple of times and win one to surpass him.

Yup he “let” grown men, adults, who are responsible for their own actions…,

If anyone knows of where to send an actual Birthday Card to him, please let me know.

I know it's kinda "outdated" to send physical cards anymore, but he's an old-school guy and I'd love to send him birthday greetings from New Zealand.

Great!

 

But the good thing about Marv is he never ever cursed on the sidelines...

 

How do you do that--attach/send a youtube link that begins where you want it to in the video, rather than at the beginning?

One of my favorite Marv quotes happened one year in August as Marv was talking  with Bruce, Jim, Thurman and Tasker as the press waited nearby to interview the head coach. As the players headed up the tunnel, Marv turned to the press corps and said, “Well boys, there goes our final four cuts.” 😀
