Yeah fix knew it too. He knew it all of 2009 and he coached like it. The last couple years he was here he just flat gave up. I remember wanting him gone in '07. We got lucky in '08 but the writing was on the wall in '07. We weren't getting better. Hell, just hiring Jeff Davidson was him saying "fug it who needs an offense?" And heading into abd during Rivera's 2nd year a lot of us were wanting him gone as well. We saw a HC who was timid offensively and just wasn't ready for a HC gig. Poor game and clock management. I can't remember if we actually hired someone with some experience to come in and help with clock management or if we just talked about it, but there just wasn't a lot of confidence in him leading the team. Most felt he was holding it, especially Cam, back.

rhule's last year was probably the worst for me. fox's last year with clausen was pretty rough to walk into as well. i was legit pissed about the clausen pick. i tried to be ok with it, but there was nothing good about it. fox had been done for a couple years. the year after the last superbowl run when gettleman gutted the team i felt pretty miserable about the team, just defeated, and rivera just wasn't doing much to instill confidence i feel pretty good about this one. pretty hopeful. having a new HC helps out a lot. teamed up with a new GM helps even more. i like the GM, i like the coaching staff. i like the direction of the team. bryce may or may not be it, but i think we'll be better than last year. if we have to on from bryce, i think we're set up nicely for a new QB. i think bryce will be fine, though.

i rarely ever drink carbonated drinks of any kind. last night went to a cookout and all they had to drink was carbonated drinks. didn't think ahead so i didn't bring anything. i tried a can of dr. pepper and a can of pepsi...dr. pepper was much better. pepsi just didn't have much taste.

Someone wasn't thinking when they wrote that title

i just think that the separation in talent between guys like jefferson and the rest of the good ones is going to be diminishing. the level of talent that is and will be coming out of college now is just that good.

dumb. a lot of good WRs are going to keep coming out of college resulting in a devaluing the position, or at least affecting the scarcity of good receivers. you pay that much when there isn't that much talent out there. i just don't think that's going to be the case anymore.

not voting. suffering from a case of choice overload.

Same. we think we know, but until the games are being played, we don't know.

lol i see it.

I do know it's after we started cloning players.

Even then it will remain the most ridiculous division with the wonkiest results. It's a WTF? waiting to happen.

Yes.

i don't see how we could even be as bad or even close to as bad as last year. barring some complete coaching clusterfug like last year, i just don't see it happening.

Yes and definitely better than last year. 5-6 wins is hardly being a homer. Pretty fuggin realistic, tbh.

Lol it's fuggin may.

Lazy takes.

Same. Bryce just needs to get better and he needs to manage this offense effectively do that it can be top half of the league. I don't care about what his stats look like, tbh. More TDs than INTs (I'd honestly be thrilled with a 2:1 ratio), less sacks, low fumbles.

contrary to what was expected of him from pre-draft hype or where he was drafted or what it cost to move up there....he was just a rookie in the worst imaginable situation. that's what we saw...a rookie in the worst situation a rookie could be in. there's no way i can pass judgment on what he did last year because of that. again, it's probably true that most people in here are a lot smarter than me and it doesn't take more than one season of a rookie in the worst possible situation to know that he's never going to amount to poo, or to at the least know that he's never going to be one to count on, but that's not where i am. i don't judge people in their worst moments when the deck is stacked against them. if i'm going to judge at all, i do it when i see how they respond in the next moment.

i'm 100% sure that he had didn't have the talent to give him a shot last year or an honest and legit assessment of what he can bring to the table. he might be (probably is) limited on what he can do...but that picture is incomplete. the only thing we could tell from last year was what he looks like when he has to carry the team by himself because he's got no real support from the cast of players or coaches around him. and i don't care who you are, if you have no help from the team around you...you are going to look bad, especially if you are a rookie. last year we saw him in the worst case scenario. we saw his floor. if the situation gets better we will see him get better and get off the floor. it's just a matter of how far off the floor he can get, but i imagine it will be a good bit higher off the floor than many think.

one of the best stiff arms ever. made tiki bounce off the ground. man it felt good to be a fan back then. was frustrating, but i would take that over what we've had the past few years.

More likely Rome ends up being a waste of talent there. Won't be his fault.

There was a 5 or 6 year period of my life that I was doing a lot of struggling and floating around the south I guess trying to figure out the point of my existence and I wasn't having much luck doing that. A dark moment that had a few not so dark moments in it, one of them being a summer I drove around listening to and singing on occasion (when I got a shot) songs by Jackson Brown, Dan Fogleberg, and the Eagles. Just something about them gave me a little peace. I don't listen to them much anymore, but when I do it takes me back to that little reprieve from my dark era.

I just think we're all going to be surprised this year in a good way for once. I don't care about anyone eating crow or anything. I don't blame anyone for doubting this team's potential. I just want us all to enjoy being a fan again and I really think we're getting ready to experience that.
