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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
