Yes. And 90% of the forum raved about the genius of all the moves like drafting Sample in the 2nd Round...but those moves were absolutely the wrong moves to be good this year.
And the team totally flopped in free agency. Absolutely terrible.
When you hire a new staff, you bring 2-3 veteran upgrades in. They brought in role players who borderline wouldn't make a lot of rosters.

Meh...did it take 2 games for this team to quit on ZT like they quit on Marvin in year 16 or so? At any rate, at least the players had more fun and aren't afraid to screw up, anymore.

Ok..this is where the offense becomes brilliant and the D gets back to back to back to back defensive TDs and we celebrate the brilliance of our rookie coach!

Dynasty? Most of us would settle for a single ***** playoff win. Sad.

Yessir. And we've been saying that for years. Some of us atleast.
Kind of shocking to see our D-line handled.
Our LB's are pretty bad today though too.

Did we give up when the Nazi’s bombed Pearl Harbor? Who’s with me? Flounder?

Not behind this line. As much as I’m done with Dalton it really dosent matter who you put out there. Unless you gave Randall Cunningham or Vick in him prime, it just dosent matter.

I like a D that averages giving up a first down every play. Makes for a quick game.

I hear ya. 2018 was all on the coaches and this year IF we lose is all going to be on the players and office.

This is one of dalton's worst games this year. The rookie quarterback makes that completion.

Dalton needs to sit. There is nothing to be gained watching him run around with his painfully average self in a rebuilding year. Put Finleygala in.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.
