Of the 12 interceptions Marcel had, how many were related to Marcel targeting Theo? I can think of 3, which candidly, if anyone can think of any more, it definitely makes me wonder how much he may have been contributing to the problem.

That said, Marcel still needs to be more accurate

Irrelevant now.

The image of Marcel throwing the ball 3 yards behind an open Theo on a simple slant for the tying TD vs Miami, which state led to the Miami DB intercepting it, will forever be burned into my brain.

Not burned correctly. You remember Marcel throwing the ball 9 feet behind Theo?

Considering Theo got his hand on the ball, I would say it was closer to 2 or 3 feet. Which in a game of inches can be significant. And obviously this case it was. But calling it an accuracy issue is quite lazy considering how terrible both QBs and both kickers struggled with the wind and Marcel had to put a little bit of air under the ball to get it over the middle LB.

When the wind is erratic as it was you can't trust your instincts as a QB. It's no coincidence Beck had his season low in passing yards that day either.

Marcel also hit Owens in the chest at the goal line on the play right before that but oh well

Yes.

But the one that bothered me more was when he scrambled right and had broken contain and had KC as wide open as you could get and he threw it into the ground infront of him. There was 2 defenders and 2 receivers between he and the endzone. 0% chance he doesn't score unless he trips over his own feet.

That play would have completely changed the game going up 10-3.

i think we were already down 10-3...it was our final drive. IIRC

you were right that happened in the 4th quarter with about 10:30 minutes to go. i was confusing it with the KC reception that got us inside the 10 at the end...

Lol Theo most certainly did not get his hand on the ball. Maybe not three yards behind him, but definitely way behind him and uncatchable for Theo.
