The Lone Highlight?

I'm generally not a tank person nor am I okay with losing but... these losses will benefit us more in the long run.

Numb yourself. It'll be easier on the blood pressure. Firing Allen midseason just gives upper management a scapegoat for their own inadequacies. I actually hope Allen stays til the end of the season as I think it will actually help with the process.

I agree that mid-management is already spinng up the pressers for dumping Allen. It's only a matter of time. He's like Wile E. Coyote strapped to a rocket watching the fuse burn down. But if NO ONE is sent packing with him from the GM level, it's just more of the same... wash, rinse, reapeat.

Tanking only works IF Ms. Gayle chooses to clean shop. Past precedence says otherwise.

I often find myself wondering when tackling became a lost art. It seems more guys are worried about hitting now then wrapping up.

I think it was when they wussified practices to not allow them to hit.

Supposed to help people quit getting injured so often, and yet look at the league right now - it's a freaking MASH unit.

It's official now: we are the lowest-scoring team of NFL Week 8. It says more during a week with no bye teams.

Also - our kicker also cost us 4 points, and our return game has been getting lousy and mistake-prone. Can't count on special teams as a saving grace anymore.
