IR Lists Don't Doom Everyone . . .

You can sit around and make excuses for every year.

The only fact that remains is you lost and didn't win. There is no excuse for utter failure. Stop the bullpoo guys we aren't going 8-8 here wake up we are worse than just sucking. Our backups need to be better. I don't expect Thomas Davis 2.0 but you can't rely completely on first stringers.

I don't buy the whole time period learning bullpoo either. More excuses. Too many teams have turned around quicker than anyone imagined and this team is not completely worthless and completely in learning mode. There are plenty of guys on the team who know what they are doing.

This is not to say I don't take all these things into consideration when I decide whether I am happy where the team is right now, 7-9, 8-8 would have made me happy but I am sorry this is not enough improvement. Our backups don't suck, their worthless. Maybe 3 average players are better than 1 good one and no body else?

I guess my point is even with all things considered we suck more than we should and in more ways than we should.

It's not excuses it's reality if some of you would have look at the situation without stars in your eyes. You would have know it was a major hill to climb before the injuries started happening.

Back ups are back ups for a reason. You add in the fact that they are learning a new system as well. This is what you get.

I'd say realistically the team needs to move on from Otah and Davis. Unless you just want to keep them around so you can blame injuries on missing starters next year too. Beason and Gettis should be back in full force though.

I can't name anyone else on IR.

Ron Edwards may have been our biggest loss to IR but we won't know until he plays next year. Personally I feel like we really could have used him though with the way our defense has struggled..
