Casey D Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 This was a great game today against two hot teams. We just came up short. It would have been nice to keep the playoff dream alive one more week, but this is not a contending team, YET. But we've come a long way in a year. The playoffs are wholly realistic next year, with more progress in the off season...CD

To top it off they're poised to lose two of their best 3 players on D in Clements and Fletcher. I'm not sure how they can fix the D in one offseason.
Fan in San Diego Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 Good game, bad playcalling and clock management. And oh yes, our DL doesn't work. We need beef on the line to stop the run. Ala Ted Washington or Big Pat Williams.

Ala Ted Washington or Big Pat Williams. 877152[/snapback] Given how bad this team was last year, it is hard to fix everything. Losing McCargo did not help. The guys running this team are not stupid, but they can't do everything all at once...CD

It's the game on the line critical decisions that are bad. Thats why the Pats have won alot of Superbowls. Bellicheck has a great football IQ in all phases of the game. Not just 85% of the game.

In the big scheme of things, the current group is light years ahead of the previous regime. The game today could have gone either way, we just came up short. It is not the result of collosal bungling, it was a series of things that if done better could have gone the other way. As much as it hurts, sometimes you lose a close one when you have two even teams..CD

SDS Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 It is not the result of collosal bungling, 877193[/snapback] The last two plays qualify - hands down. and quite frankly, the fans SHOULD worry when your very seasoned head coach has the playoffs on the line and has no effing idea whether he is going to kick a FG, throw a hail mary, or take a knee.

Two years from now, maybe.
