The “Everything is fine” mentality

This entire week the whole team exuded an “everything is fine, we will get things together, blah blah” attitude.

Things aren’t fine. This team is awful. Maybe one of the worst in the NFL right now. A huge losing streak is incoming unless the team stops acting like everything is “fine” and realizes what they are doing isn’t working. 

I’m sick of a horrible almost cocky bullshit attitude from this team. Rivera so confident in his now awful defense that he punts on 4th and 1 with the best rushing QB in the game. Cam and the offense think the deep ball is magically going to start working despite literally never even trying it in a game so far this season.

The truth is this is a delusional group still thinking what worked in 2015 still works and I hope all of them either get their heads out of their asses or get shown the door by a new owner with a real set of brass balls.

Did you know the leading receivers for Philly are 2 TEs

Folks asking questions after the Giants games were derided but the obvious signs were there. Bit of of season left to get back to form but the offense is getting worse and the defense not getting better 

It was so weird, people completely dismissing any criticism of that game. Now look..

I've been saying for years that this exact mentality within our organization and throughout our fanbase is the exact reason we aren't a consistent winner or perennial contender.  The lack of urgency to get better by instead just defaulting to, "well, there's always next week..." "well, there's always next game," "well, there's always next year."  

It's just a cheap way of dodging accountability and responsibility, while allowing the status quo to be maintained.  And here we are...  again.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
