Game thoughts....Why it will be a long season

Euphoria · 09-16-2012, 07:14 PM

I seriously thought at the end of last season it was time to scrap the team and start rebuilding.

I know its not the popular way of thinking but...

Bree's isn't getting any younger and we have some serious issues on our D. Start rebuilding from the ground up.

How to become the Cleveland Browns. No thanks.

You add better players, release the costly underachievers, and you stay competitive forever.

Then we might at least be able to tie somebody

Just need to get the defense to make any kind of stop period, and that will be a huge improvement. I would think we have to be last in the league in number of times that teams punt against us, right now.

Patrick Robinson makes either of those picks from the first two games and we're talking about different endings. His time is coming, and it seems to be the scheme that is allowing him to have more freedom.

You could be right. I'm not planning to hold my breath tho.

We knew our D needed time to adjust to a new system

We'll get Greer, Patrick and Henderson back soon.

Why you may be right...
Our O-line looks much worse than simply losing Nicks. Something else is F'd up there. Strief and Bushrod look much worse than years past.

It was atrocious -the line play

I saw two sure TD passes dropped: one by Graham, the other (I think) by Moore.

If we had paid Drew 90 million, would those passes have been caught?
