We beat a very good team in the playoffs. Yay!!!!
As much as I don't like him I've stated numerous times I would extend Garrett if we made a NFCCG. The idea that we have been successful because we've had a winning record in the regular season I just don't get.
How does a "snake oil salesman" get that gig?
By being a snake.
I'm sure it's more complicated than that.
He who speak with forked tongue?
Jerry bought the team... get over it!
I don't care that he owns it. Never said I did. What bothers me is his track record as GM over the last 2+ decades. I understand you're happy with it. I'm not. Get over it.
Well, Glover and Casillas and Lett. But we haven't had one since Tuna left. Because it's not our priority. Because we don't understand the effect of complete disruptive DLines.
This is a deep draft at DT, it seems.
It's not any one thing. Initially we were doomed because of bad contracts early on in free agency and cap hell, as well as poor coaching (The Mad Poodle).I posted this in another thread but the topic is probably of interest.
Somebody asked why we have not been successful as a team.
You guys will have many answers and I have many questions as a fan for over 50 years.
Here is my answer to the question..
-----'---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They have not been successful becuz they take on too many hopeless headcases like Hardy and Gregory and Irvin and Rolando McLean.
They continually take on more like them in Austin, Claiborne, Carr and others who either can not stay healthy or under perform but have big contracts.
Now we have resigned Lee who never can finish a season and resigned Witten who bless his heart can't get deeper than a 5 yd. turn around pass.
This is depressing.
It's a pattern of hoping they are right and depending on a core of stars to carry the load and hope the rest come along.
Fully about 25 % of the roster is not productive and cannot contribute much.
Special teams is a joke..we have nobody who can return a kick past 10 yards and will not make fixing it a priority.
Jimster used to say you had to win 2/3rd of the offense, defense and special teams to succeed.
We win on offense or fight to a stalemate, we fall behind on defense and have to mount furious 4th Qt. comebacks and our kicking game is average with no returns to speak of.
Last year we were very lucky in the second half of the year that both the Commanders and Philly had QB problems and we caught them.
Do not plan on that again.
The odds are against us.
Now what?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's the off season and FA has not improved anything and not much has changed except we have lost 4 starters in Swaim, Gregory, Irvin and and a LBer to KC again..
and signed some camp bodies at TE and safety and a rotation DL.
This is a significant net loss so far and I am not looking forward to the draft as we are too far down to expect anything that is going to help replace these losses.
Add to that our schedule in 2019 will be more difficult this year and I am trying to see where to be positive.
I think I need some help.
