What I'm Worried About
I'm not worried about our players abilities, and not even Hartley. But there's one thing that keeps getting me. It's how we start, and end. It seems we come out hot on O and D, even giving the idea of a blowout game and then something breaks down. I'm not sure what's causing it, maybe mental mistakes, wrong plays, but something is.
What's causing us to have "ugly" wins and even our loss to the dirty birds is our "simmering". I guess the best way to approach it is "steady and slow wins the race". That's what happened to us. We came out, stopped the birds, scored a quick 7 and simmered away like someone turned the stove off on that delicious gumbo. I feel everything is in place for a repeat, the only problem is not losing the "edge" 6 minutes into the game. Last year we'd come back after half and have the luck of a Saint, but luck isn't going to keep us in anymore. I looked at the sched by the way, and we have what I'd call a "rebuilding" period till we hit the Steelers, which will be fun . WHO DAT! |

I hear you we seem to start good and then auto pilot with conservativeness until its almost too late then we kick it in gear. It is not like SP or GW to not go for the jugular. After that first td I thought GW was going to bring tha dogs on them birds.

No I am not freaking out. It just seems that we are less aggressive this year thus far

well DUNGY seems to think were still partying or have the hangover, we lost that game because of a missed field goal. nobody was right yesterday on our team, offense, defense, special team/kicker. and still hear what i'm saying we battled to stay in the game and still should have won a game that we were horrible on defense. that off tackle dive then bump outside has been eating us for 3 years. and we still can't defend it, but we've won those games too when we had takeaways.we are still a better team then atlanta, we missed a lousey gloriffied extra freakin point man. let me change my blown fuse.

just think if hartley would've made that kick how different the tone would be.
throwing the baby out with the bath water never gets much accomplished. it is just one kick. it was just one loss. i have faith and believe in the staff and the team... WAY more than I have faith in some fans. fairweather fans are not actual fans. |
