Fact remains is our OL is woeful and because of that, our offense will not be able to use all the plays and weapons good teams use - TE for instance. Our offense will be built and run to cover our weaknesses and not to exploit other teams weaknesses. We've been operating this way for more than a decade and this is yet another year if it. Nix decided to fix this team in a consecutive manner and not in concurrent way. So minimum of two more years of mediocre - midling results. So just know that and hope to see steady progress.
Did Moats p*ss off Chan somehow? We need QB pressure and instead of giving the opposition a steady diet of Merriman - then Moats, we bury the guy three deep at ILB. It's stupid at best.
At the end of the day, the Senator and Mrags have it right. Fitz is our guy fot the next 2 seasons. Pay the guy and don't risk losing him to FA where he'll go fast and for a lot more coin.
What possessed you to listen to Bob Matthews? I think half of TSW knows more about football than he does. Then again maybe you were driven to it by the thought of the alternative of Dope and the Lapdog.
Lions next...we'll see how the line performs. Detroit b'slapped the Pats OL yesterday. I still say sign a vet or two. Cut down time this week and there will be some talent on the street.
Why would anyone give a blogger the imprimatur of truth? I agree with many of the posts that say a real apology would have been short and without one iota of equivication. That was three pages of puke that still tried to cast some doubt on Merriman. Not a big fan of him in the first place but I'm done with him. He didn't show character here, he likely tried not to get sued.
Anyone for Tennyson?
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
Tis better to have and NFL team and suck;
Then it is to never have had an NFL team at all.
Hey Spags,
Good to hear from you again. Maybin's all yours baby. How is it to have a receiver (Plax)who's bigger than your linebacker? I was wondering why super coach Rex hasn't coached up Ducasse? Youre OL ain't looking that great either.
Looks like the Jets and Bills, at the end of the day, will be in the same place....out of the playoffs and looking up at the Patriots after they steamroll over us.
The Jets will be better than the Bills this year, but the Jets will still be joining us and watching the playoffs from a bar.
Have a good season Spags!
Positive? OK, Im positive the OL will suck!
Sorry, low hanging fruit.
I'm upbeat about Dareus, Barnett, Troup, Carrington and some of the young LBs. Also about the play of even a 90% Lights Out rushing the QB. That's it.
Again...no one else can be had, for love nor money, but the guys we have now. No trades can hppen and all the FA's other than Clabo suck. A good FA wouldn't fiddle while the team flamed out.
