So if we put this mess on the players....the 53 mighty men....then who picked them? Why and how did they make the team?
We talk of the blown assignments...poor blocking....poor tackling...poor coverage....lack of execution....most penalties of any team....one of the worst time of posession teams...one of the worst defenses in the league? really?
Are our players lacking heart...desire...or just plain talent?
Or.....are they lacking confidence in the play calling on both Offense and Defense and therefore showing it by poor play?
YES WE ARE 5-2 NOW.....Will it be 5-5 in a few weeks?

I am very concerned and doubtful that we can pull it together to make a SB run. I started choking on the purple kool-aid.

Thankfully a spark named Suggs showed up...I havent lost hope yet.

I am looking for these coaches to start playing better chess against the big boys. Start countering what they are doing to us and start dictating our play. If what we want to do isnt working please dont wait until the 4th quarter to make adjustments. I want to see Tandon Doss in more passing plays-preferrably slants and crossing routes and Chykie Brown in as a corner. I am sick of seeing these cb's playing 10 yrds off the ball. Cant bank on Webb coming back anytime soon or Cary re-signing with us so lets get Chykie out there as a CB and get some game experience he cant do much worse.

Show me something!

i think its the emotion and desire which drove the orioles the whole year and i'm just not seeing it with this team. we need someone the players want to play for. They were always fired up and wanted to fight for rex and pagano. i feel like dean just can't get the point across to his players the way chuck could. Dean is never involved in any of the defensive adjustments made on the sideline and i haven't seen him show any emotion whatsoever. The players are always talking things over by themselves, unlike when previous d coordinators worked with their players to figure it out. He is a defensive coordinator and nothing more. I don't hate the guy but he just isn't the right fit at all. we need to become a family type of team again.

Yes....the fight....or will....has it gone? Do they care? Is our plight fixable at this point? Or are we just looking at players now if they are keepers or not. Its crazy to be talking like this at 5-2 but after seeing a performance like that after getting gashed on D a couple weeks before

Nope they gave up.. Turned it for the season.. Maybe you should too

This team is suffering from monkeyonbackitis. Where we've been in deep playoff runs in 5 of last 6 years and haven't made it to the dance. Mix in 3 high draft picks on OLB ( which no one has 100% locked down the job), same offensive coordinator's struggles , and lack of standouts via the draft.

We are still a 10 win team but wow, we need a lot of adjustments and we need people to play better

Even with that phenomenal defense, the 2000 Super Bowl Champion Ravens were a deeply flawed team, too. The rose-colored tint of nostalgia makes them look more pristine.

Just remember that.

Nope, time to pack it up. Season's done. Throw in Tyrod and just cut our losses. its going to be a 5-11 team now, we will obviously lose out. Fire Harbs, Fire Cam, Fire Pees. /sarcasm (except for firing Cam....please do that)


But seriously. Like Franchise said, we had our flaws the year we won the Super Bowl. The Texans have won of the best offenses/defenses in the league. Not to mention they were coming off a spanking by the Packers on SNF. They felt like they had something to prove and they did. Add in the fact that our genius offensive coordinator decided to only run the ball with Ray Rice only 9 times. We aren't as bad as what that game showed, and i can bet on us coming out strong against the Browns next week and winning.

Yea but then even if we come out strong and spank the browns....it's still the browns and thats whatbwe are suppose to do. I figured the texans were going to beat us anyways, just not that bad. Im starting to think if it's not a home game we can lose to anyone...hence the chiefs game. This no huddle offense is not a good thing, if we cant get into a rythem it's just 3 and outs one after another, then we get down, then we get away from rice. If we dont run it 20 times a game at least put rice in the slot. The lack of adjustments is mind blowing

It's posts like this that make me wish for what happened in Revolution to take place.

And another.

Any other takers?

So then are we also not as bad as the Dallas game showed? Or maybe we are not as bad as the KC game showed? Perhaps we are only as good as the Browns game showed? Which game this season should we hang our hats on?
