The perception fans have is the "if only we stopped (insert form of bad football play here) we would be contenders" Its as if they see the mistakes, turnover, penalties, blown assignments, general carelessness and cluelessness as foreign to an otherwise healthy organism, without recognizing that these things are exactly what defines a bad team.
Our coaching really stinks, but some of these players have been making the same mistakes for years under several different coaching regimes (Flozell, Gurode) and others have just packed it in (Hamlin). We are what we are and that is a 3-2 team that has only beaten teams with a combined one win.
Part of this probably comes from the experience of 2006 where we looked anemic, lost and hopeless with Bledsoe until Parcells showed the ultimate stones and put in Romo, who ignited the team to success for a few weeks. But even at the end of 2006, the same old tendencies came out and we ended up on the losing end of the games that counted.
