I honestly don't get it

[blindzebra]

Coming into the season we all knew the areas with the biggest questions were the center of the OL and the center of the defense.

Well what did we find out about those questions?

Not a damned thing.

How could we? We are down to our 4th string center, the back up at guard, back up at NT, back up to the back up at DE and players off the street at inside LB and safety.

People are acting like we are in full 1989 mode and need to blow everything up.

It is laughable. We are a handful of plays from having 8 or 9 wins right now.

This is the problem. It's been going on every year since basically 2007.

They are a handfull of plays from being winless as well. What's your point?

I think the reason for the panic is that this is still the same losing, undisciplined culture. Nothing feels different with this team. Still poor situational awareness, dumb penalties and mistakes.

I personally feel we may be wasting the careers of our younger guys by not blowing a few parts of the team up.

What we see as an issue, they don't

Get use to it.

I totally understand what you're saying and agree with you.

Jerry is that you? Quit building excuses. The Oline sucks but a real HC could have masked it a lot.

And a hand full of plays from 3-8. Whats the point?

This is why you have a major flaw in your position.

This team is not a handful of plays from 8 or 9 wins. It's this type of expectation that causes the rift here. Not saying it is your fault.

But there were signs going into this year this w9ould be the results. Ignoring them and hoping for the best is what Jerry did.

It was pretty evident what we'd see after Jerry went out and got Bearnadeau and Livings.

A real HC would have made Dez land in-bounds with out his fingers outside the goal line. Garrett blew that one. That was a sure win...but Garrett screwed up again.

A real HC would have made the kicker make a field goal to win the game...he screwed up again.

I could go on and on...but, yeah.

Right on, bro.

Well, then I'd say your handle is pretty accurate.

A real HC might have a two minute offense that doesnt waste 20+ seconds after a play.

One thing we have learned is that JG's rate of improvement as a HC is very slow...

To use the cliche' it's "all process--no progress".

No, but we wouldn't have been in that position down by 24 against the Giants and having to fight back once they blew JG's play book outta there. A real HC would have also not let 26 seconds run off to at least try and get closer for that kicker, bro.
