From the Green bay loss to today I cannot tell you how much interest I have lost in this team. Really not the team but this front office. It is beyond baffling the moves and non moves that they make. They suck the wind right out of your sails. Im a 50 plus year fan and have seen a lot but this is the absolute lowest I have ever felt.
I mean this trade was the icing on the cake, a move just to make a move. We trade a 4th for Mingo and Hopkins goes for a 5th. Our QB is going on IR and will be out at least 4 weeks. We should be trading players for picks right now.
Since the GB debacle this franchise has fallen off a cliff and is taking us with it. I can never be a fan of another team, I do not mind a rebuild at all it is actually fun to see your team build itself up and get better each year ie; Detroit at this moment. But we are like a rudderless ship. No Plan No Direction and unless something earth shattering happens No Hope. When you have no hope its just a sinking feeling.
We are a bad football team right now. Our OL is the main concern needing a RT and RG next year while hoping the rookie LT improves greatly. Our DL is right behind, Lawrence is a FA as well as O Digi, Joseph and Fowler. We need better WR play being we lead the league in least seperation, Cooks and Turpin are both FA so thats CD, Tolbert, Mingo and Brooks. Not Good at all. Which leads us to the RB room lol which we have no one under contract but Luepke and Deuce. That is a lot of holes to fill.
Do you have faith that our GM can fix this? After today I think the thought of him doing anything is scarier by the minute. Don't mean to sound like doom and gloom but I have just about had it with them ********ting us. The problem is we are fans and this is our enjoyment, this team represents us to a degreee. But the Jones family look at this as strictly business and we are their cash cow. All they want to do is stay relevant enough to sell us a dream and they keep raking in the money. Which is their perogative it is their business. But when you look at the dollars spent and we are one of the bottom teams in spending and this is Jerrys all in.
Well he is the best salesman in the world. I pray for change but really do not see many bright days ahead of us.
I feel ya!! I've been a fan since the 90s, and this is easily the lowest point I've ever reached. I don't even care anymore, and that sucks. This isn’t how we’re supposed to experience fandom. I just can’t keep investing emotions in this clown show. Honestly, it wasn't even the loss to Green Bay that made me check out. Sure, that hurt, but I still held out hope. It was when they signed Dak to that record-breaking deal on kickoff day. That was the last straw.......my sails lost all wind in that moment.
The Jones boys have
no idea how to run an NFL team. Every time we get close, 'hanging around the rim,' as Jerry says, they refuse to make a move or bring in that extra piece to get us over the top. Look at the teams with deep playoff runs in recent years; they go out and
get what they need midseason. But these guys? They're 100% hellbent on doing it their way, and after 30 years, it’s clear: they just can’t get it done. They won’t even try to draft and develop QBs. Instead, they lock in an average one who needs a full team of talent around him to perform, and when his deal is about up, they freak out and sign him to a record deal. It’s ridiculous.
Like you, I can't just root for another team. My loyalty is here. Otherwise, I’d have taken Dak’s advice and "jumped off". For now, all I can do is sit back and laugh at these buffoons trying to run this team. Jerry will see the ground before he sees another Super Bowl… hell, maybe even another NFC Championship.
