Man if I was a player that weighed 300 pounds like half our starters, and Arizona of all teams had beat us physically like they did, I'd hope to see some anger. We lost Romo, Felix, Hurd, and McBriar for chunks of time. Flo was playing hurt apparently.
We've lost 2 games out of 3 and looked bad against Cinci.
No ANGER?! No PRIDE?!
If this team is going to rally, it has got to get tougher and meaner and angrier. This is the test now. We can either get tempered in this adversity with "backs against the wall" etc, or we can fold. So far I don't see any smoke coming out of anyones ears. I'd rather they smack someone in the mouth even if losing than come across as this soft. Time to put up or shut up.
Couple of things I think the coaches and teammembers should ban until they do SOMETHING is the stupid "front double bicepts pose after making a tackle and the jump bumps after making a play. Sheesh, you'd think we'd won a playoff game the way they celebrate after making one play or two. The mean ones, just quietly get up and do it again, now that is intimidating. We don't scare anyone. In fact this team looks and feels like a bunch of inmature types that are insecure and need to pat themselves on the arse after every play. When is this team gonna get PO"D and play like the talented and geneticly sized freaks that they are and really go smack someone around.
With this oline, Johnson SHOULD be fine. It's the mental strength of team that is lacking. Parcells tried to teach it to them, but then he quit on them, now we are trying the touchy feely approach, but that ain't working either.
By the Bye (hehe) we should know a bunch more about this team. I just hope they aren't in too much of a hole to recover. From the coaches to players on down, there is a lot of growing to do.
But dang, I wish I saw some fire and not from the guys that just should keep their heads down and shutup (TO, Tank, PacMan - when these are your leaders, your team is in trouble).
This team either comes out more mature and tougher or crumbles. It's good this is happening now and not in December though as if we can weather the storm and grow, we could use that boost to be a better team, fighting into a playoff spot and then doing something.
At least the next few weeks will be interesting, I just dread the built in excuses we have been handed now though. No excuses, we have enough size and talent on this team to still smack other squads in the mouth, now we'll see if we have fire, pride, smarts, discipline, and desire to dig deep and do it. If we don't, we need to switch up some players and coaches (need to have a mix of yellers/motivators and scary guys if team isn't mature enough to motivate itself).
