I'm sick of the optimism!

This team as constructed cannot play zone coverage affectively, assignments are always voided with this crew simplify it please!The secondary either hates playing press or the coordinator likes off coverage either way something has to give with all these 7-10 yard cushions every play there's a reason we're getting carved up by everybody and that's one of em right there..We also lack aggression, how many times did lou send more than 4 last night??We have to mix it up to get teams off the field way too many 3rd and longs being converted, no way this team can do anything with this defense playing this bad that's just the truth..

I love my team with all my heart, but I refuse to buy into all of the we can make the playoffs hoopla because this defense really takes the air out of my sails..The linebackers are not playing well, the secondary is confused more often than not and the front four can't generate any pressure at all which is a recipe for disaster..The sad part about it is going forward I don't have a clue about how to fix this and that's the scary part about this defense..

I think you found the wrong WEB site for the WRONG team.  If you don't believe in this team, and look at it with the "glass half empty" eye, you clearly never played competitive sports past Pop Warner.  

Don't watch the games.  Don't post.  If the sky is falling as badly as you believe, why bother?  

This is my team.  They have more heart than just about any other team I've watched over the last 5 years.  Lose some of their best players to FA?   They find others.   Put their best WR out?  They come back.  Put their starting QB out?  They still come back.   

I love this team...probably more than any of the other iterations over the last 10 years.
