It could be worse...

We could be Buffalo that keeps a coach that goes 7-9 three years in a row because the medling 90 (yes folks 90...) year old owner is too cheap to pay for a real coach and to affraid to hire a real GM. There are other examples like Detroit etal as well.

I am not happy with the staff nor with Delhomme, but things could be much worse.

Of course it could be worse, but when we've made the playoffs in the past we have been relatively successful and we had never been bounced before the NFC championship. So to see us get dominated on both sides of the ball the way we did by the Cardinals sends everyone into an uproar, well mostly everyone.

I don't think many people are complaining about the owner of the team...........

Matter of fact, I don't think I have read anything anywhere that complains or bashes JR.

Im not complaining about the big cat just agreeing with the OP in that it could be much worse.

I am talking the overall situation could be worse. I do wish JR had stepped in already and forced some changes.

Living in Bengals country I can tell you that it could be very much worse. Mike Brown, since taking over the team in 1990, has run that franchise into the ground. Unlike JR he is not interested in placing a competitive product on the field. All he does is take advantage of the revenue sharing to make his wallet fatter.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
