What makes me sick

Go down swinging. Get knocked out because you missed with your right and got caught with a left. Don't get chased down, then beat down, stay on one knee for the 9 count, just to hop up and do it again until the referee stops the thing. There was no urgency down 10 in the 4th. I could have shook all the pixels loose in the TV. My only pleasure was flipping over to watch the Cowboys go down in flames.

SkyMike - very well done.

I am still stunned after that performance. We can't play fundamental football on either side of the ball right now. Our record is much better than how we've played. We could by all rights be 0-5.

I know injuries are a big issue, but so many new problems have also developed. Inconsist effort and mental preparation, clock management, turnovers and drops, kicking issues, etc.

There is alot of things to right before we are legitimately contenders again this year. Come on guys...please!

10-6. Wild Card. NFC Championsip. On the road. Cold weather. Gameplan of pass, pass, and pass some more. Maybe next year.

What makes me sick?

I'm tired of hearing the "We're the champs, we get everybody's best shot" rationalization.

I don't think it's a factor now. Every team in the NFL wants to win games. And we're not a trash-talking, rub-it-in-their-noses type of team. Last February is a long-time ago, no one cares that much that we got the last Tiffany.

As a Lakers fan, I know this "excuse" only holds water for the first few weeks of the season. Then nobody cares what you did last year.

It stopped being a factor after Minny, if it was even a factor then. That is just something the media dreamed up and they say it every year.

I am mad because we are better than this

greed is a terrible thing. The boys did what they said they would do, when no one thought they could or it was even possible. I don't need another ring, I'll just believe in them.

As for the problems facing the offense well you really didn't go into that, so this is my counter rant
