Hazed and Amuzed

Just to add to this, can anyone explain why on the kick to McKelvin right after the score, he would take a knee in the endzone? Especially on a line drive kick when he was obviously hot? Why do they play so timid at times and so reckless at others?

I understand the anger with Fitz but this team is still averaging 24 points a game. At 24 points a game we should be a lot better than 2-3 with the supposed talent on this defense. The problem here is with the coaching and attitude on this team, there is no fire. There are very few QBs in the history of the game that would do well when their defense is giving up 35 points a game. That being said, Fitz is a problem but he is not the biggest problem. I get sick to my stomach when we lose by 28 points and I check BB.com and see "In the trenches with Andy Levitre" or George Wilson One on One" GTFO with that garbage and concentrate on being a pro football player. Stevie looks disinterested, Wilson and Levitre are of doing segments, Wannys in the booth, A Williams is whining through tweets and Gaily is clueless for answers. Who the hell is running the show here? I like Nix and up until recently I was willing to give Gailey another season because I think continuity is important, however this is embarressing to everyone. Unfortunately there is no one here to replace Gailey at the given moment, if there was I'd want him gone when he gets back from AZ

Isn't Nolan a 3-4 guy? I'm tired of switching personnel every other year. We are set up with a 4-3 D for the long run.

I wouldn't mind him coaching from the booth if we had a leader on defense holding the other player accountable

Not defending Sheppard but it's the game plan that was at fault. We were in Nickel(or some variation) throughout the game and Sheppard is just not a nickel LB. We should've mixed it up a bit, especially when they started running it down our throats. I think Sheppard has the potential to be a better than average MLB but he has to be put in a position to succeed.

Step 10: profit

I've always liked Wanny, but what he is doing with this defense is just depressing. I just don't understand why we rarely blitz. Is he that scared of being burnt?

I've been looking for that video for years now. Awesome

I see

So what? Why is this even an issue? And who cares if he transferred schools to play a better quality of football? Obviously it was a good move for him.

Why would he be shown love for doing the right thing? He did what he was supposed to do in that situation.

Can someone tell me how to use the updated rosters in connected career mode?

Say what you want about Fitzpatricks decision making or his arm but I don't know about questioning his athletic ability. The guy can run and is pretty tough for a QB also.

But our offense is so difficult to learn!!!

We should give the new equipment manager a nickname

This^^^ When we have a bad day we're the worst team ever, when we have a great day we're SB bound. I was just as disappointed in the game on Sunday as anyone else, however after a couple of days to reflect I realize that we just played poorly against a team we underrated in their home stadium. There will be better days this season and while I'm not sure if we are a playoff team or not yet, I do think we are better than we looked against the Jets.

Brees, Dalton and Flacco I'll give you. I'd take Spiller and Levitre over Cutler any day. Palmer ehhh, the guy has no heart. Don't want him here. Schaub has a great supporting cast and without them he's done nothing Vick can't stay healthy for a whole season.

I would've pulled the whole front 4 in the middle of the 3rd quarter and let them sit and watch their backups the rest of the game.

Who's got Florida state this week to cover?

Sanborn at 57 is a travesty.

As much as I hope the Bills are successful this year, even if they're not I want Nix/Whaley and Gailey to stick around. The hardest thing to do in the NFL imo is to change a team attitude and I believe this combo has done just that. Like a poster previously stated it's not a black and white thing, there are shades of grey. I like our team and I like who's running it.

I understand where you're coming from and agree that he should have another chance, however he's been known to be a headcase and to be honest until he proves otherwise he'll always be known for that. Vince has all the talent in the world but for some reason he hasn't been able to put it all together, IMO I believe that reason is what he has going on upstairs. Maybe with maturity he'll be able to shed the light he's created for himself. Until then he has a lot to prove

I didn't call him an idiot at all, Vince Young is notoriously known as a head case, am I wrong?

Can VY maximize the use of his brain? Point is each QB has their strong and weak points and I'd rather a QB with a good head on his shoulders than a QB who can throw it deep. One that can do both however would be preferable.
