So it's Dicks fourth year in charge. He determines the offensive and defensive philosophies. He has had a say in player acquisition. He chose to invest heavily in the backfield as well as in lightweight defensive linemen. The results have been 3 consecutive 7-9 seasons which include going 0-6 in the division and finishing 2-8 in his last campaign. The starting O has managed 0 touchdowns in 4 preseason games.
I want to hear what the happy-go-lucky, overly optimistic, rose colored glasses wearing, complete homer crowd has to say at this point about Dick Jauron and this football team. I've heard some of the favorites already so I'll get the ball rolling....
- It's just preseason.
- The Steelers won the Super Bowl, you can't expect us to compete with them.
- They game planned against us.
- The Bills are keeping their superpowers hidden until the Monday night opener.
- I love the this old standby - "If you don't like it, then find another team to follow".
All right, I don't want to use them all up but I seriously think that you would have to be mentally retarded to think that this team has any chance of success in the regular season. But I know that some of you view the freight train headed your way as the light at the end of the tunnel, so I would like to hear what you have to say.
