Optimism Is Gone

That was the most disgusting loss we've had yet. I'm always gonna bleed black, blue, and silver, but I don't know that I can keep watching this heartbreak every Sunday.

There is no excuse for us to lose the way we did today. NONE. We lose by 7 or less to the best teams in the league (and could've/should've beat them), but we essentially get blown out by the Falcons? Pathetic.

It doesn't matter what our offense does because our defense can't stop sh*t. Chud is exposing himself to be a pass happy idiot with no sense of offensive balance. Coach Rivera calls timeouts when we don't need them and doesn't call them when we do. The defensive schemes and STs have no hope at all, it almost makes me want to vomit.

Today wasn't just a loss for today... It was a reminder that if we had any hope for the rest of the season, we shouldn't. We know we have a franchise QB, but little else. Yes, we have two of the top RBs in the NFL and two great TEs, and Smitty, but none of that matters because they aren't utilized effectively when it matters.

I don't give a sh*t about stats. I'm seriously disgusted with this season. If we hadn't lost half of our fuging defense we would've won at least one other game so far... I won't say more because the DT position is the worst in the league by far. They may as well sign one of us up from this board to line up at DT because these dudes are horrible.

JR may have opened up the check book this offseason to sign back our own guys but another huge fault in our philosophy and direction of our franchise is following the "develop through the draft" mantra. Go look at all the other great teams, if they have a hole, they sign a guy or make a trade. Not that there is a magic trade you can make to fix your entire team, but there are moves that can be made and I'm sick of suffering losses because "we're developing our young guys!"

I don't want to hear anymore rah rah speeches, how mad Cam is after losses, Smitty talking sh*t, Rivera talking about how we're getting better... We're not. We should be better.

We will most likely get maybe one to two more wins this season, mostly because our coaches are showing to be idiots and Hurney sits on his hands (or will make a big move for another team's practice squad DT or WR, oooooh!).

Today was just a reminder of all that is still wrong with our team and I don't care if this sounds emo, this team is really breaking my heart.

This loss not so much, I expected Cam to have a crash course game (in which he really didn't play bad at all) but that Saints game totally sapped the life out of me.

I'll just coast along with the rest of this season, and keep my expectations low like I should have.

I am seriously concerned that we are going to turn into a team with video game stats and a 2-14 record and will continue to be a big laughingstock going into next year as well. We are not learning how to win for shi*. Just learning how to lose many different ways.

the defense is TOTAL poo

we couldnt stop a fuging wheelchair football team (if there ever was one)

my optimism was seriously diminished after last week, but now its totally gone. i really cant see us stopping any other team this year. Vikings have AP, Redskins will be pissed next week, Colts will be desperate.

You're seeing today what happens when Cam doesn't play lights out. We get exposed. We need to totally revamp our defense personnel. Am I the only person who thinks they look physically small compared to every offense in the NFL? That's why they are getting blown off the ball and can't tackle anyone. Other than our front four, the rest of the D is undersized.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
