We're blaming the guy for a safety costing us the game when the defense can't make a stop in the first half and gives up a 56 yard game winning TD. Our kicker can't make a gimme field goal or an extra point and our OL can't get it done in the RedZone. But let's lay it all on Martinez because he either gets sacked for a safety or throws it away for a safety. Adrian certainly didn’t lose this game. But 90% of that safety was on him. And yes, he is not a prime time money player. It’s not personal……He’s just not. 2 Quote Link to comment

He’s fighting like hell out there but sure does give it up in critical situations, it seems. Harsh topic title reflects exasperation among fans. Many such threads in here about him and the coaches.

In the Deed the Glory Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Adrian has so many apologists when he loses. Interestingly, many are the same that cursed Taylor when he won… 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s not all on Martinez at all but it is a fact he chokes at the worst possible times, always. Its also a fact that every other facet of this team including coaching puts him in bad situations. They (everyone involved) simply don’t know how to win and they don’t seem to be learning, adapting or changing anything. The close losses to 3 good teams mean exactly d!(k when you also lose to Illinois and Minnesota. 3 Quote Link to comment

Martinez missed some throws, guys missed blocks, Frost made a dumb play call, and the defense gave up a 56 yard run. A lot more than just a safety contributed to this loss. Do tell me about situational awareness when you can't even turn around and throw to a receiver because you're being pulled down by a defender. Be smarter than the idiotic announcer you don't have to requote him. He didn't even know who our QB was half the game. I'm not saying the O-Line is not horrible, It most defiantly is, but that is not what we are talking about... guaranteed I can post at least 5 plays where Martinez overthrew receivers when not under enough pressure that it would matter... and probably the same number of missed receivers... as for the safety... Id suggest you look at it again.. he ran around plenty and had EVERY opportunity to run out of the pocket and at least stay out of the end zone.... Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 These losses aren't entirely Martinez's fault, and he's highly productive at times. That being said, the simple statement that he's a choke artist should be about as controversial as saying water is wet. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

He scrambles gets caught and then there's no where to go. s#!t happens. Next series he leads us down the field and scores in a minute. That's not choking.

This may be one of the first games I’ve sat through sober - just told the wife I should do this more often as it has been easier to swallow this consistent result. Quote Link to comment
