I'm not willing to call it yet

It's 4 weeks into the season and we're 1-3. Things don't look good. The team doesn't look like the team they were last year and no one knows why. It's not just any one thing, it's not just any two things, the team just looks like Crap all around. Cam has no time in the pocket to make throws, and when he does, he's missing open receivers and making terrible decisions. He has been beaten and abused all year and he isn't helping himself by trying to coast into the end zone without paying attention. Now he is concussed putting the season into further jeopardy. The Defense has no push on the line in the slightest and it finally culminated in what happened yesterday when our secondary had to go up against a decent QB. 

But again, it's week 4. We've been here before. Once in 2013 and again the next year in 2014. We looked just as bad, if not worse then. But will we come back from a poo start to win the division? Will we do it again? I don't really know. Not the way they've been playing. But until the fat lady sings, we're still in it. Right now Atlanta is our only competition for the division, and Shannahan has a LONG history of being a terrible second half of the season O coordinator, whereas we have a LONG history of being a great second half of the year team under Rivera. The secondary, while inexperienced, has looked serviceable up until yesterday. If the pass rush can turn it on, we can win because it will take the pressure off of them. If the Offensive line starts giving our QBs a chance to throw the ball and in turn they make good decisions with the football, we can win. 

So for those sitting here bragging about how right they are this week, good for you. I hope you're happy that you're right. With how shitty this team has looked, we're all looking for some silver lining to feel happy about. I can't really blame you for trying to polish the turd that is the first quarter of the 2016 season and if gloating about being right this week about not having Norman, or not signing that one free agent, or how Gettleman has doomed us long term, please do so if it makes you happy. Congratulations, you win the "I'm so smart " award. This week. Just know the season isn't over yet and I'm not willing to call the season a waste until we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. It's a long season and each week is a different game. For all we know, the defense will turn around next week and set the single game record for turnovers just for shits and giggles. We look that bipolar this year so it wouldn't surprise me. We might have Derek "Buc Fucker" Anderson in at QB this week against... Oh look at that, the Bucs. 

So I'm not panicking. I'm not freaking out yet. I am concerned, mightily so, but I'm not about to have a meltdown. I'm going to wait this storm out because even if this year is a lost one, I still think we're in a good position to compete long term. We still have the pieces in place in Luke, TD, Cam, Olsen, KB, etc. For whatever reason things just aren't clicking right now. I have been a harsh critic of Rivera's in the past but he somehow manages to pull his teams together and pull wins out of his ass when things look the bleakest. I'm not ready to call the season a waste. Not yet. 

But if we lose to the Bucs then I'll totally be in "fug it" mode. 

Good post.

I won't be in "f it" mode if we lose next week, but I will be extremely concerned.

"Gettleman is the greatest GM to ever grace the game, he never misses on draft picks, and he's shrewd with money too! Plus those shorts!"

Gettledouche is the worst GM to ever grace the game and needs to be fired! The guy did nothing to draft our needs, he let the GOAT aka Josh Norman go for nothing, and he thinks our O-line is any where near competent which is ridiculous! Plus those shorts!"

I like to believe I and many others exist in the middle of these two somewhere but I'm having trouble finding many of them online today.

Agree. Lose next week and we're in real trouble but season isn't over. Lose the next two and we are done.

This is the worst meltdown I've ever seen on this board...and I've seen some bad ones. This 15-1 ,team didn't turn into the Browns In 1 season. I refuse to believe it. We have a history of slow starts and turn around with Rivera. You don't think that can happen again. Atl started 5-0 last year then imploded. We spanked them 38-0. Did they give up and roll over? No they came back 2 weeks later and beat us. 1 game doesn't make a season. This team still has the same core. Execution and coaching has been bad and our cocky attitude is gone. The season isn't over until we are mathematically eliminated. 2014 should of taught you that. So if you don't have faith jump ship, you people have made this board insufferable lately. Buck up , stop crying, and keep pounding

Not so sure about that. There were a large number of classic meltdowns on the old Huddle boards. The fact that the servers couldn't handle it after bad losses were a blessing in disguise. 

This morning, I had to remind myself about the 2010 season and how things could be so far worse. We might be struggling mightily right now but I like to believe that if we get back to playing how we're capable of playing, we'll have a chance. You couldn't say that six years ago 

One last thing but I also told myself that in the end, the only thing I have control over is whether I will continue being a fan. Well, if I survived through 2010, then this is nothing.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
